Plain-language summary
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled Phase III clinical trial sponsored by Nanjing Shunxin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Chiatai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily oral TQH3906 capsules (24 mg) in adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. TQH3906 is a highly selective TYK2 allosteric inhibitor targeting the JH2 domain, which blocks the IL-23 and Type I interferon inflammatory pathways. Approximately 400 eligible participants aged 18-75 years will be enrolled. Participants will be stratified based on prior biologic use and randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to the TQH3906 group, the deucravacitinib active control group, or the placebo group. The trial includes a screening period, a 16-week double-blind controlled treatment phase, a 36-week open-label extension phase (during which all participants will receive TQH3906), and a 4-week safety follow-up after the last dose. The co-primary endpoints are the proportion of participants achieving sPGA 0/1 and PASI 90 response at Week 16. Secondary endpoints include improvements in scalp, nail, and palmoplantar psoriasis, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), long-term safety, and steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters. This study will collect comprehensive efficacy and safety data over 52 weeks to support the New Drug Application (NDA) for TQH3906 for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
