Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to provide up to 52 weeks of efficacy, safety and tolerability data to support registration of intravenous (i.v.) secukinumab (Initial dose of 6 mg/kg at Baseline (BSL) followed thereafter with 3 mg/kg administered every four weeks) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) despite current or previous Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and/or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy.
Detailed Description:
This multicenter study used a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design. A screening (SCR) period running up to 10 weeks before randomization was used to assess subject eligibility followed by a treatment period of 52 weeks.
At baseline, 381 patients with active psoriatic arthritis were randomized to one of the two treatment groups in a 1:1 randomization:
Group 1: Approximately 190 patients with active psoriatic arthritis; These patients received secukinumab 6 mg/kg i.v. at BSL, followed by the administration of secukinumab 3 mg/kg i.v. every four weeks starting at Week 4.
Group 2: Approximately 190 patients with active psoriatic arthritis; These patients received i.v. placebo at BSL and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12, followed by the administration of secukinumab 3 mg/kg i.v. every four weeks starting at Week 16.
Study consisted of 4 periods: a screening period (up to 10 weeks), treatment period 1 (total duration of 16 weeks) and treatment period 2 (total duration of 36 weeks) followed by a safety follow up period of 8 weeks after the end of treatment visit (i.e., Week 52).
Primary endpoint analysis will be performed with Week 16 data (last patient completing Treatment period 1 (Week 16). Long-term efficacy and safety assessments will be performed up to Week 52.
