Study Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the proportion of patients achieving reversal of chronic plaque psoriasis at week 4 and 12 following multiple doses of secukinumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared to placebo. Starting from week 13, all patients will receive multiple doses of secukinumab up to week 52 to study long term effects of secukinumab. Clinical endpoints including biomarker assessments, PASI, IGA and DLQI will be compared to better understand, why secukinumab may be effective in psoriasis patients.

Primary Outcome

Histological sections of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsies at baseline and at Week 12 were examined. For each visit, each patient's lesional skin biopsy was scored for the degree of histological improvement compared to that patient's baseline disease on a five point scale; - 1 (worse) to +3 (excellent). Histological disease reversal or "excellent improvement" (histological disease reversal score = 3) was declared at the endpoint when all of the following four criteria were met.
