NCT03623867

Brief Summary

Psoriatic arthritis is related with chronic inflammation and progressive radiographic damages, and it in turn lead to disability and loss in function-ability. Recent advance in treatment pathway through anti IL-17 gives promising clinical improvement. Yet, its effect on radiographic progression remains uncertain. This study aimed to ascertain the effect of secukinumab on structural progression in PsA by evaluation through high resolution peripheral quantative computed tomography (HRpqCT).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Difference in changes in the volume of erosions on metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) 2-4 measured by HR-pQCT at 24 weeks between secukinumab and placebo group

    The erosion volume will be calculated from HR-pQCT images

    48 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (10)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • ≥18 years old;
  • without severe deformity in MCP joints which would influence the longitudinal assessment of HR-pQCT;
  • with active disease, which is defined as three or more than tender joints and three or more than swollen joints, despite previous treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.

You may not qualify if:

  • limited in ability to perform usual self-care, vocational, and avocational activities;
  • pregnancy;
  • previous therapy with biologic;
  • the presence of active inflammatory diseases other than PsA;
  • active infection in 2 weeks before randomization or a history of ongoing, chronic, or recurrent infections including tuberculosis;
  • history of hepatitis B \& C;
  • history of malignant disease within the past 5 years (excluding basal cell carcinoma or actinic keratosis, in-situ cervical cancer, or non-invasive malignant colon polyps);
  • contraindications to secukinumab.
