Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which would place the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study.~  3. Any condition, including other inflammatory diseases or dermatologic conditions that confound the ability to interpret data from the study.~  4. Prior history of suicide attempt at any time in the subject's life time prior to screening or randomization, or major psychiatric illness requiring hospitalization within the last 3 years.~  5.

Had a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination within 1 year prior to screening.~  13. History of positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or have congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (e.g., common variable immunodeficiency disease).~  14. Active substance abuse or a history of substance abuse within 6 months prior to Screening.~  15. Bacterial infections requiring treatment with oral or injectable antibiotics, or significant viral or fungal infections, within 4 weeks of Screening. Any treatment and cure for such infections must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to Screening.~  16. Malignancy or history of malignancy, except for:~ 1. treated \[i.e., cured\] basal cell or squamous cell in situ skin carcinomas;~ 2. treated \[i.e., cured\] cervical intraepithelial neoplasia \[CIN\] or carcinoma in situ of the cervix with no evidence of recurrence within the previous 5 years.~     17. Topical therapy within 2 weeks of study entry (including, but not limited to, topical corticosteroids, retinoids or vitamin D analog preparations, tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, or anthralin/dithranol). Exceptions: low-potency corticosteroids to cyclosporine, corticosteroids, methotrexate, retinoids, mycophenolate, thioguanine, hydroxyurea, sirolimus, sulfasalazine, azathioprine, fumaric acid esters) will be allowed as background therapy and restricted to treatment of the face, axillae, and groin in accordance with the manufacturers' suggested usage during the course of the study (this restricted usage should be documented). Subjects with scalp psoriasis will be permitted to use coal tar shampoo and/or salicylic acid scalp preparations on scalp lesions. An unmedicated skin moisturizer (eg, Eucerin®) will be also permitted for body lesions only. Subjects should not use these topical treatments within 24 hours prior to the clinic visit.~     18. Systemic therapy for psoriasis within 4 weeks prior to study entry (including, but not limited to, cyclosporine, corticosteroids, methotrexate, retinoids, mycophenolate, thioguanine, hydroxyurea, sirolimus, sulfasalazine, azathioprine, and fumaric acid esters).~     19. Use of phototherapy within 4 weeks prior to study entry.~     20. Use of any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to study entry, or 5 pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic half-lives, if known (whichever is longer).~     21. Prolonged sun exposure or use of tanning booths or other ultraviolet (UV) light sources.~     22. Prior treatment with Apremilast~     23. Inability to wash out from any topical treatment(s) (two weeks prior to entering the study) or all systemic therapies, including orals and biologics (e.g., TNF inhibitors IL-17 inhibitors, IL-12/23 inhibitors, 4 weeks).
