Study Summary

This study aims to confirm if patients with a specific biomarker might have a better response to secukinumab treatment. To meet this purpose, exploratory biomarker studies will be done. The goals of these exploratory studies are to (1) find biomarkers that will identify persons with rheumatoid arthritis who will have the best possible response to secukinumab and (2) to identify persons who will have fewer side effects in order to maximize their benefit from secukinumab.

Primary Outcome

A participant was considered to be a responder according to the ACR20 criteria if the participant had at least 20% improvement in both the tender joint count and swollen joint count measures, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: patient's assessment of pain, patient's global assessment of disease activity, physician's global assessment of disease activity, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ©) score, and/or C-reactive protein (CRP)/Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR).
