“IL-17 is a validated and powerful driver of psoriasis and we believe this ongoing Phase I study will provide us with early safety and proof-of-concept data, as well as dose selection guidance for future studies.”

The company expects topline proof-of-concept data in healthy volunteers as well as psoriasis patients in the second half of this year.

The therapeutic candidates in the oral IL-17 franchise of Dice are being developed initially to treat psoriasis.

According to research over the past 20 years, IL-17 is a driver of the psoriasis that manifests as erythematous plaques with thick scaling that can occur on any part on the body.
