- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of changes in skin-infiltrating Th17, Th22, Th1 and Th2 cells before and at week 24 after the initial administration of secukinumab (10-time injections).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of changes in peripheral blood Th17, Th22, Th1 and Th2 cells and in serum levels of IL-22, VEGF-A, and other cytokines, before and at week 24 after the initial administration of secukinumab (10-time injections). Evaluation of changes in skin-infiltrating Th17, Th22, Th1 and Th2 cells, in peripheral blood Th17, Th22, Th1 and Th2 cells, and in serum levels of IL-22, VEGF-A, and other cytokines, before and at week 4 after the initial administration of secukinumab (5 injections).
