Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response at Week 24

PASI score is an average degree of severity of signs in head [H], trunk [T], upper limbs [U] and lower limbs [L], assessed separately for erythema [E], thickening (plaque elevation, induration) [I], and scaling (desquamation) [D]. Area [A] covered by lesions on each body region was estimated as a percentage (%) of total area of that particular body region and was assigned a score of 0=0%; 1=1-9%; 2=10-29%; 3=30-49%; 4=50-69%; 5=70-89%; 6=90-100%. The head and neck, upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs correspond to approximately 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of the body surface area, respectively. PASI score was calculated as: PASI = 0.1(EH+IH+DH) AH + 0.2(EU+IU+DU) AU + 0.3(ET+IT+DT) AT + 0.4(EL+IL+DL) AL. PASI scores can range from 0 (no signs) to a maximum of 72.0. PASI 75 responders were participants who achieved >=75% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline.

Body Surface Area (BSA) at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

The Body surface area (BSA) affected by plaque-type psoriasis was the total of percentages of areas affected, including head, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. Each reported percentage was multiplied by its respective body region corresponding factor (head = 0.1, trunk = 0.3, upper limbs = 0.2, lower limbs = 0.4). The resulting four percentages were added to estimate the total BSA affected by plaque-type psoriasis.

Number of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA Mod 2011) at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

IGA mod 2011 is a global static severity rating scale referring exclusively to the participant's disease state at the time of the assessments and don't attempt comparison with participant's any previous disease states at baseline or visit. IGA mod 2011 has a scale of 0-4 with the lower scores correlating to better performance. Scores used were: 0/Clear: no signs of psoriasis, Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be present; 1/almost clear: Normal to pink coloration of lesions/no thickening/no to minimal focal scaling; 2/Mild: Pink to light red coloration/just detectable to mild thickening/predominantly fine scaling; 3/Moderate: Dull bright red, clearly distinguishable erythema/clearly distinguishable to moderate thickening/moderate scaling; 4/Severe: Bright to deep dark red coloration/severe thickening with hard edges/severe or coarse scaling covering almost all or all lesions.

Percentage of Participants With IGA Mod. 2011 0/1-response at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

The IGA mod 2011 scale has been developed based on a previous version of the scale used in secukinumab phase II studies in collaboration with health authorities, in particular the FDA. The explanations/descriptions of the points on the scale have been improved to ensure appropriate differentiation between the points. The IGA mod 2011 used in this study is static, i.e. it refers exclusively to the subject's disease state at the time of the assessments, and does not attempt a comparison with any of the subject's previous disease states, whether at baseline or at a previous visit.IGA mod 2011 has a scale of 0-4 with the lower scores correlating to better performance. A score of 0= clear skin, 1= almost clear skin, 2=mild, 3=moderate,4=severe. IGA 0/1 responders: who achieved score of 0/1 and improved by at least 2 points on the IGA scale compared to baseline.

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

DLQI is a 10-item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult subjects with skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and viral. The measure was self-administered and included domains of daily activities, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment, and work/school. Each item had four response categories ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" was also a valid response and was scored as 0. The DLQI total score was a sum of the 10 questions. Scores ranged from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment in health related quality of life.

Percentage of Participants With DLQI 0/1 Response at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24

Percentage of Participants With Short Form 36 (SF-36) Response at Week 4, 16 and 24

SF-36 is a generic indicator of health status for use in population surveys and evaluative studies of health policy. The SF-36 included 36 items in a Likert-type or forced-choice format measured on eight dimensions. The scores for each domain range from 0 to 100, with high scores indicating a better status. SF-36 responder is defined as subject reaching at least an improvement of minimum important difference (MID). The SF-36 measure dimensions and their MID includes: Physical Functioning:4.3 Role-Physical: 3.4 Bodily Pain: 6.2 General Health: 7.2 Vitality: 6.2 Social Functioning: 6.9 Role-Emotional: 4.5 Mental Health: 6.2 Two component scores and their MID which were derived from the above mentioned 8 domains includes-: Physical component summary: 3.4 Mental component summary: 4.6

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label study with blinded assessment of the efficacy of subcutaneous secukinumab compared to Fumaderm®, in 200 adults with moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy. The study consists of 2 periods: a screening period of at least one week and up to four weeks, and a treatment period of 24 weeks. During the screening period eligibility of the patients is confirmed. Eligible patients are randomized 1:1 to treatment arm A or B at week 0. Patients in treatment arm A receive secukinumab administered at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 and are followed up for assessments of the study endpoints until week 24. Patients in treatment arm B receive daily doses of Fumaderm® p.o.. Safety and efficacy measurements of secukinumab and Fumaderm® will be performed throughout the study and up to week 24.

The head and neck, upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs correspond to approximately 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of the body surface area, respectively. PASI score was calculated as: PASI = 0.1(EH+IH+DH) AH + 0.2(EU+IU+DU) AU + 0.3(ET+IT+DT) AT + 0.4(EL+IL+DL) AL. PASI scores can range from 0 (no signs) to a maximum of 72.0.
