Summary

This purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of secukinumab versus placebo on nail psoriasis and to assess long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of secukinumab.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects with chronic moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to randomization, including significant nail involvement, defined as Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) score ≥16 AND number of fingernails involved ≥4 AND Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ≥12 AND Body Surface Area (BSA) score ≥10%
  • 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

Exclusion Criteria

  • 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 inflammatory skin diseases other than psoriasis or any other disease affecting the fingernails which may potentially confound the evaluation of study treatment effects
  • 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
  • Exposure to 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
  • History of hypersensitivity to constituents of the study treatment
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria do apply
