AIN457 subcutaneous (s.c.)secukinumab 150mgDuring the intravenous (I.V.) period, participants received two 150 mg s.c. injections of AIN457 at randomization and week 4, and AIN457 placebo I.V. at randomization, week 2 and week 4. During the maintenance period, participants received 300 mg s.c. of open-label AIN457.
AIN457 I.V.secukinumab 10mg/kg i.v. regimenDuring the I.V. period, participants received AIN457 10mg/kg I.V. at randomization, week 2 and week 4, and AIN457 placebo s.c. at randomization and week 4. During the maintenance period, participants received 300 mg s.c. of open-label AIN457.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants (Who Achieved a Partial Response Defined as ≥ 50% But < 75% Improvement in PASI After 12 Weeks of Treatment in Study AIN457A2304) With Investigator's Global Assessment Model 2011 (IGA Mod 2011) 0 or 1 ResponseWeek 8

The IGA mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits. The scores are: 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Treatment success was defined as achievement of IGA mod 2001 score of 0 or 1.

Percentage of Participants (Who Achieved a Partial Response Defined as ≥ 50% But < 75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) After 12 Weeks of Treatment in Study AIN457A2304) With 75% Improvement From Baseline in PASIWeek 8

PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area\* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 50/75/90/100 Response or IGA 0 or 1 ResponseWeeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40

PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area\* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 50, 75, 90 and 100 were defined as participants achieving ≥ 50%, 75%, 90% or 100% improvement from baseline. The IGA mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits. The scores are: 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

Percentage of Participants in Each IGA Mod 2011 Score CategoryWeeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40

The IGA mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits.

Mean Percent Change From Baseline in EuroQOL 5-Dimension Health Status Questionnaire (EQ-5D) Health State Assessment (From 0 to 100)Baseline, weeks 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40

The EQ-5D is an instrument used to assess a participant's health status. The instrument includes a descriptive profile and a visual analog scale (VAS). The descriptive profile includes 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 3 response levels: no problems, some problems and severe problems. The VAS is a vertical scale that assesses the health status from 0 (worst possible health state) to 100 (best possible health state). This outcome measures the percent change in VAS score. Positive mean percent changes indicate improvement.

Mean Percent Change From Baseline in PASI ScoresBaseline, weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40

PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area\* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). A negative mean percentage change indicates improvement.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of 0 or 1Baseline, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, Week 32,up to Week 40

The DLQI is a ten item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult participants with skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and viral warts. It is a self-administered questionnaire which includes domains of daily activity, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment and school/work activities. Each domain has 4 response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" is a valid score also and is scored as 0. The DLQI total score is a sum of all 10 responses. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater health-related quality of life impairment. A DLQI of 0 or 1 indicates no impairment or little impairment, respectively. A negative mean percentage change from baseline indicates improvement.

Relationship Between Response to AIN457 and Failed Response to Previous Biologic Psoriasis TherapyEnd of study

This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the small sample size of the study (43 participants).

Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) ScoresBaseline, weeks 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40

The DLQI is a ten item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult participants with skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and viral worts. It is a self-administered questionnaire which includes domains of daily activity, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment and school/work activities. Each domain has 4 response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" is a valid score also and is scored as 0. The DLQI total score is a sum of all 10 responses. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating greater health-related quality of life impairment. A negative mean percentage change from baseline indicates improvement.

Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-secukinumab AntibodiesBaseline, weeks 12, 24 and 40

The development of anti-secunimubab anti-bodies would decrease a participant's ability to respond to secukinumab treatment.
