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

Study Arms (3)
secukinumab 150mg
EXPERIMENTAL201 subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to secukinumab either 150 mg or 300 mg, or placebo. Subjects assigned to secukinumab 150 mg were dosed weekly for the first five weeks, then every four weeks up to and including Week 128. To maintain blinding, subjects received additional placebo injections at Weeks 17, 18 and 19. All doses of study treatment were administered by sub-cutaneous injections.

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.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATOR201 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.
Interventions
Study treatment were provided in pre-filled syringes of secukinumab 150 mg in 1 mL. Each dosing consiseds of one secukinumab 150 mg s.c. injection plus one placebo secukinumab s.c. injection and took place once weekly during five weeks (at Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4), then once every four weeks starting at Week 8 until Week 128 inclusive. In order to maintain the blinding, patients also received two placebo injections at Weeks 17, 18 and 19. Patients self-administered study treatment under the supervision of site personnel when injections occur during study visits, or at home otherwise.

At Week 16, ppIGA responders continued on placebo with dosing at Weeks 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, then once every four weeks from Week 24 until Week 76 inclusive. At Week 80, ppIGA responders ended their participation in the study while ppIGA non-responders were re-randomized, to receive 150 mg or 300 mg secukinumab once every four weeks starting at Week 80 until Week 128 inclusive. Patients self-administered study treatment under the supervision of site personnel when injections occur during study visits, or at home otherwise.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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
You may not qualify if:
- 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
