Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pruritus Intensity Visual Analogue Scale Score at Week 32
On a 100-mm horizontal line, the patient placed a mark representing their perception of worst itching (pruritus) within a recall period of 24 hours, where 0 = no pruritus and 100 = most severe pruritus.
Week 32
Study Arms (2)
Secukinumab
EXPERIMENTAL300 mg secukinumab (administered as two injections of 150 mg each) at Weeks 16, 20, 24, and 28
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORInactive ingredients administered as a matching placebo at Weeks 16, 20, 24, and 28
Interventions
150 mg secukinumab in 1 ml solution for subcutaneous injection (pre-filled syringe)
Matching placebo in 1 ml solution for subcutaneous injection (pre-filled syringe)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Chronic moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis as diagnosed by a qualified physician at least 6 months prior to baseline and with a PASI score \> 10 at baseline.
- Psoriasis patients with pruritus intensity of ≥ 30 on a 100-point VAS, with a recall period of 24h as part of the PGA-CP, both, at screening and at baseline.
You may not qualify if:
- Underlying conditions other than psoriasis which in the opinion of the investigator currently cause or influence pruritus of the skin (e.g. drug induced pruritus, renal insufficiency, diabetes).
- Forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque-type (e.g., pustular, erythrodermic, and guttate) at screening or study start.
- Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis and non-psoriasis treatments. Washout periods have to be adhered to. If the use of any of the prohibited treatments is required, then the subject may not be included into the study.
- Pregnancy, breast feeding or inadequate contraception (if necessary)
