Study Summary

The core and extension studies assessed the safety and efficacy of secukinumab when added to a background therapy in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF-α agents. Patients received either secukinumab, placebo. The core study was completed. However, the extension study was terminated early (unrelated to safety) due to the results of study AIN457F2309, which indicated the efficacy of AIN457 was not comparable to the currently available RA treatment, abatacept, thus leading to closing of the AIN457 RA program.

Primary Outcome

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 in tender 68-joint count, swollen 66-joint count and at least 3 of the following 5 measures: patient's assessment of RA pain, patient's global assessment of disease activity, physician's global assessment of disease activity, subject self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire \[HAQ-DI\] score), and/or acute phas
