          San Francisco startup Alumis Inc. has raised $259 million in a bid to best big pharma’s work in plaque psoriasis.

          Alumis announced its Series C round Wednesday and plans to move its lead drug into Phase 3 trials. Venture firm Foresite Capital, which incubated Alumis, co-led the financing with Samsara BioCapital and venBio Partners.

          Alumis’ lead drug, ESK-001, is an oral medicine designed to help patients with the most common type of psoriasis by inhibiting a signaling protein called TYK2.
