Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With ppPASI 75 Response at Week 16 (Period 1)
The primary endpoint was assessed by the palmoplantar pustulosis Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (ppPASI 75). The percentage of subjects who achieved a 75% reduction in ppPASI score from Baseline to Week 16 was measured. The ppPASI is a modification of the PASI score and adjusted for palmoplantar pustular psoriasis by classifying and scoring erythema, scaling (desquamation) and pustules/vesicles. Both palms and both plants are scored from 0 to 4. The extent of involvement of each region of the body is scored from 0 to 6. The total ppPASI score can range from a lower level of 0, corresponding to no signs of psoriasis, up to a maximum of 72.

Study Arms (3)
Secukinumab 300mg
EXPERIMENTALSecukinumab 300mg once weekly at Weeks 1, 2 and 3, thereafter at 4-weekly intervals starting Week 4 until Week 48. In order to maintain the blinding beyond the primary endpoint, placebo was administered at Weeks 17, 18 and 19. For extension period: Secukinumab 300mg at 4-weekly intervals starting Week 52 up to Week 148.
Secukinumab 150mg
EXPERIMENTALSecukinumab 150mg once weekly at Weeks 1, 2 and 3, thereafter at 4-weekly intervals starting Week 4 until Week 48. In order to maintain the blinding beyond the primary endpoint, placebo was administered at Weeks 17, 18 and 19. For extension period: Secukinumab 150mg at 4-weekly intervals starting Week 52 up to Week 148.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo once weekly at Weeks 1, 2 and 3, thereafter at 4-weekly intervals starting Week 4 until Week 12. Patients who achieved ppPASI 75 at Week 16 remained on placebo treatment Until week 48 and were not eligible to enter the extension. Patients who did not achieve ppPASI 75 at Week 16 were re-randomized to receive Secukinumab 150mg or Secukinumab 300mg from Week 16 onwards up to Week 148.
Interventions
Secukinumab was used as 150 mg pre-filled syringes (PFS) in a double-blinded fashion. Secukinumab 300 mg s.c. (two PFS injections of the 150 mg dose) self-administered
secukinumab 150 mg s.c. (one PFS injection of the 150 mg dose + one PFS injection of placebo) self-administered
secukinumab placebo s.c. (two PFS injections of placebo) self-administered
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis for at least 6 months before Randomization
- Moderate to severe palmoplantar pustular psoriasis as defined at Baseline by:
- ppPASI score of ≥ 12 and
- DLQI ≥ 10
- Candidate for systemic therapy, defined as having palmoplantar pustular psoriasis inadequately controlled by:
- Topical treatment, and/or
- Phototherapy, and/or
- Previous systemic therapy
You may not qualify if:
- Forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque psoriasis and pustular palmoplantar psoriasis (e.g., erythrodermic, guttate, or generalized pustular psoriasis)
- Drug-induced psoriasis (e.g., new onset or current exacerbation from beta-blockers, calcium channel inhibitors, or lithium) or history of proven contact dermatitis
- Patients not willing to limit UV light exposure (e.g. sunbathing and/or the use of tanning devices) during the course of the study
- Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis treatments (e.g., topical or systemic corticosteroids, UV therapy). Washout periods detailed in the protocol have to be adhered to
- Previous exposure to any biologic drug directly targeting IL-17 or IL-17 Receptor (e.g., secukinumab, ixekizumab, or brodalumab)
- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using effective methods of contraception during dosing of study treatment and for 16 weeks after stopping treatment
- Active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis that might confound the evaluation of the benefit of secukinumab therapy
- Use of any other investigational drugs within 4 weeks of study drug initiation or within a period of 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment, whichever is longer
