    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Change from Baseline in the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) ultrasound enthesitis score
    Twelve (12) entheses (bilateral AT, LE, PP, DP, PA, QT) will be scored in terms of inflammatory and morphological components according to the OMERACT enthesitis composite semi-quantitative scale (0 to 3). The lowest OMERACT score a participant can have at baseline is 2 (based on Inclusion Criterion number 6, which requires at least 2 points in the B-mode or the Doppler mode in at least one enthesis). The highest OMERACT score expected at baseline will be 72, assuming that each of the 12 entheses assessed shows a maximum of 3 points in the gray scale score, and a maximum of 3 points in the Doppler score. The largest change expected from baseline to Week 16 is -60 points (improvement). This assumes that the presence of structural changes (calcifications, enthesophytes and erosions) may add a maximum of 12 points to the score, and it may not be modifiable with study treatment during the study period.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Change from Baseline in the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) ultrasound enthesitis score
    Sixteen (16) entheses (bilateral AT, LE, PP, DP, PA, QT, SS, TT) will be scored in terms of inflammatory components according with the GRAPPA ultrasound enthesitis score. The lowest GRAPPA score a participant may have at baseline is 2 (based on Inclusion Criterion number 6, which requires at least 2 points in the B-mode or the Doppler mode in at least 1 enthesis). The highest GRAPPA score expected at baseline is 248, assuming the maximum score that could be assigned to each enthesis. The largest change expected from baseline to Week 16 is -136 points (improvement). This value assumes that the presence of structural changes (calcifications, enthesophytes, and erosions) may add a maximum of 136 points to the score, and it may not be modifiable with study treatment during the study period.
    Change from Baseline in the PsASon13 unilateral ultrasound composite score of synovitis
    Joints examined by the PsASon13 unilateral ultrasound composite score: Small finger joints: MCP2, MCP5, H-PIP1, H-PIP2, H-PIP3; Distal interphalangeal finger joints: H-DIP3; Small joints of feet: MTP1, MTP5, F-PIP1; Distal interphalangeal joints of feet: F-DIP2, F-DIP3; Large joints: wrist and knee. Lowest score a participant may have at baseline is 0. Highest score a participant may have at baseline is 184 (5 small finger joints, each ranging from 0 to 18; 1 distal interphalangeal finger joint, each ranging from 0 to 16; 3 small joints of feet, each ranging from 0 to 12; 2 distal interphalangeal joints of feet, each ranging from 0 to 12; 1 wrist ranging from 0 to 12; and 1 knee ranging from 0 to 6). Largest change expected from baseline to Week 16 is -118 points (improvement). This assumes that the presence of structural changes (erosions and osteophytes) may add a maximum of 66 points to the score and it may not be modifiable with study treatment during the study period.
    Number of participants who achieve complete resolution of enthesitis based on OMERACT criteria (yes, no)
    Proportion of participants experiencing complete resolution of their enthesitis based on Change from Baseline in the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) score
    Number of participants who achieve Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90 (PASI 90) (yes, no)
    Psoriasis Area Severity Index 90 Scores range from 0 to 72. A score of more than 10 generally translates to "moderate-to-severe". Usually, the higher your PASI score, the lower the quality of life. A PASI 90 is at least a 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score.
    Number of participants who achieve Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 100 (PASI 100) (yes, no)
    Psoriasis Area Severity Index 100 Scores range from 0 to 72. A score of more than 10 generally translates to "moderate-to-severe". Usually, the higher your PASI score, the lower the quality of life. A PASI 100 is a complete clearing of psoriasis (PASI score = 0).
    Number of participants who achieve Investigator's Global Assessment modified 2011 (IGA mod 2011) score of 0 or 1 (yes, no)
    The IGA mod 2011 scale is a visual assessment that consists of a score ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). Skin rated a 4 is bright red in color with marked plaque elevation and is dominated by thick, non-tenacious scale. For a treatment to be considered successful, the affected area must receive a score of 0 or 1 and experience a two-point improvement from Baseline.
    Change from Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA)
    The total percentage of body surface area affected by psoriasis
    Change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score
    A 10-item measure to assess health-related quality of life in adults with skin diseases. Scores range from 0-30 with a higher score being less quality of life.
    Number of participants who achieve Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 0 or 1 (yes, no)
    A 10-item measure to assess health-related quality of life in adults with skin diseases. Scores range from 0-30 with a higher score being less quality of life.
    Change from Baseline in HAQ-DI score
    Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a 20-question scale assessing functional ability. The final HAQ-DI score ranges from 0 (no problems functioning) to 3 (not able to function).
    Number of participants who achieve HAQ-DI change from baseline ≤ -0.35 (yes, no)
    Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a 20-question scale assessing functional ability. The final HAQ-DI score ranges from 0 (no problems functioning) to 3 (not able to function).

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Given the role of IL-17 in the development of entheseal-driven pathology, a therapeutic strategy aimed at blocking IL-17 would be a logical option for the treatment of subclinical enthesitis in psoriasis patients. This study will be the first randomized trial of a biologic therapy versus placebo in participants with plaque psoriasis and subclinical psoriatic arthritis, using musculoskeletal ultrasound.
    Detailed Description
    The primary objective of this study is to estimate the difference in effect between secukinumab 300 mg s.c. and placebo, based on change from baseline to Week 16 in the OMERACT ultrasound enthesitis score.
