Phase 1 Study of CC-90005 in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque-type Psoriasis

This is a 2-part study to be conducted at multiple study centers. Part 1 is a randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and
pharmacokinetics of CC-90005 following a single oral dose in healthy subjects. During the
course of Part 1, each subject will participate in a screening phase, baseline phase(s),
treatment phase(s) and a follow up visit. There will be a total of 3 planned cohorts, each
of which will consist of a different dose level, with 8 subjects per cohort. In each cohort,
6 subjects will receive a dose of CC 90005 and 2 subjects will receive placebo depending on
the randomization schedule. Each cohort will receive a minimum of 2 doses, with one of the
cohorts receiving a third dose (up to three study periods per cohort). Administration of
study drug at the next higher dose level will not begin until the safety and tolerability of
the preceding dose have been evaluated and deemed acceptable by the investigator and
sponsor's medical monitor. Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to
evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of CC-90005 following multiple oral
doses in subjects with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis. During the course of Part
2, each subject will participate in a screening phase, a baseline phase, a treatment phase
and a follow up visit. There will be a total of 4 planned cohorts, each of which will
consist of a different dose level, with 12 subjects per cohort. In each cohort, 9 subjects
will receive a dose of CC-90005 and 3 subjects will receive placebo depending on the
randomization schedule. It is planned for study drug to be administered twice daily for 28
days. Proposed dose levels in Part 2 may be modified and/or eliminated based on data
obtained from Part 1 and/or from previous data obtained in Part 2.
