Placebo
Secukinumab 150 mg s.c. with loading: Secukinumab 150 mg at Baseline, Weeks 1, 2 and 3, followed by dosing every four weeks starting at Week 4. After primary outcome evaluation, approval and implementation of Amendment 2 Secukinumab dose may have been escalated to 300 mg as judged appropriate by the investigator
Secukinumab 150 mg s.c. without loading: Secukinumab 150 mg at baseline, followed by dosing every four weeks starting at Week 4, with Placebo at Weeks 1, 2 and 3. After primary outcome evaluation, approval and implementation of Amendment 2 Secukinumab dose may have been escalated to 300 mg as judged appropriate by the investigator
Placebo to Secukinumab at Baseline, Weeks 1, 2 and 3, followed by dosing every four weeks starting at Week 4 until Week 16/24, depending on patients responder status. From Week 16/24, patients were switched to Secukinumab 150 mg every four weeks. After primary outcome evaluation, approval and implementation of Amendment 2 Secukinumab dose may have been escalated to 300 mg as judged appropriate by the investigator
