Target Recruitment
205
Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with chronic, moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to randomization and significant involvement of the palms and soles at baseline, defined as palmoplantar Investigator's Global Assessment (ppIGA) score of ≥ 3 on a 5-point scale, as well as at least one skin plaque at baseline which is not in the palmoplantar area
  • Candidates for systemic therapy, i.e. psoriasis inadequately controlled by topical treatment (including super potent topical corticosteroids) and/or phototherapy and/or previous systemic therapy
Exclusion Criteria
  • Forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque type psoriasis (e.g., pustular psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, acrodermatitis of Hallopeau, erythrodermic and guttate psoriasis)
  • Drug-induced psoriasis (e.g. new onset or current exacerbation from β-blockers, calcium channel inhibitors or lithium)
  • Ongoing use of prohibited treatments (e.g. topical or systemic corticosteroids (CS), UV therapy). Washout periods do apply.
  • Prior exposure to secukinumab (AIN457) or any other biological drug directly targeting IL-17 or the IL-17 receptor
  • Use of any investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to study treatment initiation or within a period of 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment, whichever is longer
  • Active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis that might confound the evaluation of the benefit of secukinumab therapy
  • History of hypersensitivity to constituents of the study treatment

secukinumab 300 mgsecukinumab 300 mg201 subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to secukinumab either 150 mg or 300 mg, or placebo. Subjects assigned to secukinumab 300 mg were dosed weekly for the first five weeks and then every four weeks up to and including Week 128. In order to maintain the blinding, subjects received additional placebo injections at Weeks 17, 18 and 19. All doses of study treatment were administered by sub-cutaneous injections.
PlaceboPlacebo201 subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to secukinumab either 150 mg or 300 mg, or placebo. Subjects on placebo were dosed weekly for 5 weeks then once every 4 weeks. At Week 16, ppIGA responders continued to receive placebo weekly for 5 weeks starting at Week 16, then every 4 weeks up to and including Week 76 while ppIGA non-responders were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to secukinumab either 150 mg or 300mg weekly for 5 weeks, starting at Week 16, then every 4 weeks up to and including Week 128. At Week 80, subjects on placebo were either terminated their participation, if ppIGA responders, or randomized in a 1:1 ratio to secukinumab either 150 mg or 300 mg once every 4 weeks until Week 128 inclusive. All doses of study treatment were administered by sub-cutaneous injections.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentages of Participants With Palmoplantar Investigator Global Assessmnet (ppIGA) 0 or 1 Response After 16 Weeks of TreatmentWeek 16

palmoplantar Investigator's Global Assessment (ppIGA) response after 16 weeks of treatment. To be considered a ppIGA responder at Week 16, a subject must have ppIGA of 0 or 1 at Week 16 and a reduction of at least 2 points on the ppIGA scale from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentages of Participants With Palmoplantar Investigator Global Assessment (ppIGA) 0 or 1 Response - Treatment Period IWeek 1, week 2, week 4, week, 8, week 12, week 16

ppIGA: Palmoplantar Ivestigator's Global Assessment. The IGA mod 2011 rating scale: 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.

Based on this scale, a patient was considered as an IGA 0 or 1 responder if they achieved a score of 0 or 1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale at a given time point compared to their score at randomization (baseline).

Percentages of Subjects With ppIGA 0 or 1 Response (Observed Cases) - Treatment Period IIWeek 16, Week 20, Week 28, Week 32, Week 64, Week 132

ppIGA: Palmoplantar Ivestigator's Global Assessment. The IGA mod 2011 rating scale: 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.

Based on this scale, a patient was considered as an IGA 0 or 1 responder if they achieved a score of 0 or 1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale at a given time point compared to their score at randomization (baseline).

Absolute Change From Baseline for Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (ppPASI) Score -Treatment Period IWeek 1, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).

Absolute Change From Baseline for Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (ppPASI) Score (Observed Cases) - Entire Treatment SetWeek 16, Week 32, Week 80, Week 132

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).
