Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: There is an unmet need for oral psoriasis medications with improved efficacy and safety. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of oral ME3183, a novel phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a 16-week double-blind treatment period. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1:1) to oral ME3183 5 mg twice daily (BID), 10 mg once daily (QD), 7.5 mg BID, 15 mg QD or placebo. RESULTS: In total, 132 patients were randomly assigned to ME3183 5 mg BID (26 patients), 10 mg QD (26 patients), 7.5 mg BID (26 patients), 15 mg QD (27 patients) and placebo (27 patients). The proportions of patients achieving ≥75% reduction in baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores at Week 16 (primary endpoint) were 58.3%, 32.0%, 61.5% and 52.0% in each ME3183 group, respectively, versus 14.8% in the placebo group (all p < 0.01 vs. placebo, except for the 10 mg QD group). The most common adverse events across the ME3183 groups were diarrhoea (16.0%-38.5%), nausea (7.7%-30.8%) and headache (7.7%-42.3%). CONCLUSIONS: ME3183 should be further investigated as a safe and effective treatment alternative for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
