8 To assess the effect of risankizumab on the pharmacokinetics of CYP probe substrates, caffeine (for CYP1A2), warfarin (for CYP2C9), omeprazole (for CYP2C19), metoprolol (for CYP2D6), and midazolam (for CYP3A). Open-label, one-sequence study in subjects with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis with or without concomitant psoriatic arthritis
