Study 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).

Primary Outcome

Radiographic progression was based on scores from the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). The mSASSS is the sum of scores assessing the vertebral corners of the lumbar and cervical spine as 0 (normal), 1 (erosion, sclerosis, or squaring), 2 (syndesmophyte), or 3 (bridging syndesmophyte) with a total range from 0-72. No radiographic progression was defined as the change from baseline in mSASSS score \<= 0.5.
