Study to Demonstrate the Efficacy (Including Inhibition of Structural Damage), Safety and Tolerability up to 2 Years of Secukinumab in Active Psoriatic Arthritis
FUTURE5
A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Multi-center Study of Subcutaneous Secukinumab (150 mg and 300 mg) in Prefilled Syringe to Demonstrate Efficacy (Including Inhibition of Structural Damage), Safety, and Tolerability up to 2 Years in Subjects With Active Psoriatic Arthritis (FUTURE 5)

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate efficacy including effect on inhibition of progression of structural damage, safety and tolerability up to 2 years with primary focus at Week 16 (week 24 for structural damage), to support the use of secukinumab pre-filled syringe (PFS) by subcutaneous (s.c.) self-administration with or without loading regimen in subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) despite current or previous NSAID, DMARD therapy and/or previous anti-TNFα therapy. Long term efficacy up to 2 years was based on signs and symptoms of joint/bone structure preservation (X-ray) and improvement in physical function measured by Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI©), as well as skin and nail improvement for psoriasis signs.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Achieving an American College of Rheumatology Response 20 (ACR20) at Week 16
ACR20 response was defined as having a positive clinical response to treatment (individual improvement) in disease activity if the participant had at least 20% improvement based on tender 78-joint count, swollen 76-joint count and at least 20% improvement in 3 of the following 5 measures: participant's assessment of PsA pain, patient's global assessment of disease activity, physician's global assessment of disease activity, participant's self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score), and acute phase reactant evaluated as (high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)).

Study Arms (5)
Secukinumab 150 mg load (Group 1)
EXPERIMENTALSecukinumab 150 mg sc injection every week for 4 weeks followed by Secukinumab 150 mg every 4 weeks until week 100 Beginning at Week 52, for subjects whose signs and symptoms were not fully controlled, and who the investigator believed may improve further with an increase in dose, may have had the secukinumab dose increased to 300mg s.c. every 4 weeks until week 100
Secukinumab 150 mg no load (Group 2)
EXPERIMENTALSecukinumab 150 mg sc injection every 4 weeks until week 100 Beginning at Week 52, for subjects whose signs and symptoms were not fully controlled, and who the investigator believed may improve further with an increase in dose, may have had the secukinumab dose increased to 300mg s.c. every 4 weeks.
Secukinumab 300 mg load (Group 3)
EXPERIMENTALSecukinumab 300 mg sc injection every week for 4 weeks followed by Secukinumab 300 mg every 4 weeks until week 100
Placebo arm 1 (Group 4)
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo to Secukinumab sc injection every week for 4 weeks followed by placebo to Secukinumab every 4 weeks until week 16. Non-responders will be switched to Secukinumab either 150 or 300 mg sc injection every four weeks until week 100. Responders at week 16 continued receiving placebo until week 24, then were switched to secukinumab 150 or 300 mg sc injection every 4 weeks until week 100. PLEASE NOTE: Placebo arms 1 and 2 belong to the same placebo group (group 4) Beginning at Week 52, for subjects whose signs and symptoms were not fully controlled, and who the investigator believed may improve further with an increase in dose, may have had the secukinumab dose increased to 300mg s.c. every 4 weeks.
Placebo arm 2 (Group 4)
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo to Secukinumab sc injection every week for 4 weeks followed by placebo to Secukinumab every 4 weeks until week 16. Non-responders were switched to Secukinumab either 150 or 300 mg sc injection every four weeks until week 100. Responders at week 16 continued receiving placebo until week 24, then were switched to secukinumab 150 or 300 mg sc injection every 4 weeks until week 100. PLEASE NOTE: Placebo arms 1 and 2 belong to the same placebo group (group 4) Beginning at Week 52, for subjects whose signs and symptoms were not fully controlled, and who the investigator believed may improve further with an increase in dose, may have had the secukinumab dose increased to 300mg s.c. every 4 weeks.
Interventions
Anti IL-17a monoclonal antibody
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of PsA classified by CASPAR criteria and with symptoms for at least 6 months with moderate to severe PsA who must have at BSL ≥3 tender joints out of 78 and ≥3 swollen joints out of 76 (dactylitis of a digit counts as one joint each).
- Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies negative at screening.
- Diagnosis of active plaque psoriasis or nail changes consistent with psoriasis or a documented history of plaque psoriasis.
- Subjects with PsA should have taken NSAIDs for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization with inadequate control of symptoms or at least one dose if stopped due to intolerance to NSAIDs.-Subjects who are regularly taking NSAIDs as part of their PsA therapy are required to be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks before study randomization and should remain on a stable dose up to Week 24.
- Subjects taking corticosteroids must be on a stable dose of ≤10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent for at least 2 weeks before randomization and should remain on a stable dose up to Week 24.
- Subjects taking MTX (≤ 25 mg/week) are allowed to continue their medication if the dose is stable for at least 4 weeks before randomization and should remain on a stable dose up to Week 52.
- Subjects on MTX must be on folic acid supplementation at randomization.
- Subjects who are on a DMARD other than MTX must discontinue the DMARD 4 weeks prior to randomization visit except for leflunomide, which has to be discontinued for 8 weeks prior to randomization unless a cholestyramine wash-out has been performed.
- Subjects who have been on a TNFα inhibitor must have experienced an inadequate response to previous or current treatment with a TNFα inhibitor given at an approved dose for at least 3 months or have stopped treatment due to safety/tolerability problems after at least one administration of a TNFα inhibitor.
- Subjects who have previously been treated with TNFα inhibitors (investigational or approved) will be allowed entry into study after appropriate wash-out period prior to randomization
You may not qualify if:
- Chest X-ray or chest MRI with evidence of ongoing infectious or malignant process. - Subjects taking high potency opioid analgesics.
- Previous exposure to secukinumab or other biologic drug directly targeting IL-17 or IL-17 receptor. - Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis treatments / medications (e.g., topical corticosteroids, UV therapy) at randomization.
- Any intramuscular or intravenous or intra-articular corticosteroid treatment within 4 weeks before randomization.
- Subjects who have ever received biologic immunomodulating agents except for those targeting TNFα (investigational or approved).
- Previous treatment with any cell-depleting therapies including but not limited to anti- CD20, investigational agents
