Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of secukinumab on the progression of structural damage in the spine, as measured by the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or non-pregnant, non-nursing female patients at least 18 years of age
  • Diagnosis of moderate to severe Ankylosing Spondylitis with radiologic evidence (centrally read X-ray) fulfilling the Modified New York criteria for AS despite previous or current NSAID/ nonbiologic DMARD therapy
  • Active AS assessed by total BASDAI ≥ 4 on a scale of 0-10
  • Spinal pain as measured by BASDAI question #2 ≥ 4 (0-10)
  • Total back pain as measured by visual analog scale (VAS) ≥ 40 mm (0-100 mm)
  • hsCRP ≥ 5 mg/L OR presence of at least 1 syndesmophyte on centrally read spinal X-ray

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with total ankylosis of the spine
  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
  • Evidence of ongoing infectious or malignant process
  • Previous exposure to any biologic immunomodulating agent, including those targeting IL-17, IL-17 receptor or TNFα
  • Subjects taking high potency opioid analgesics
  • Previous treatment with any cell-depleting therapies including but not limited to anti-CD20, investigational agents
