Summary

The core and extension studies assessed the safety and efficacy of secukinumab when added to a background therapy in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF-α agents. Patients received either secukinumab, placebo or abatacept (active comparator). The core study was completed. However, the extension study was prematurely terminated after the primary endpoint analysis of the core study at week 24 had demonstrated numerically higher efficacy for the active comparator abatacept compared to secukinumab.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

AIN457

AIN457 (Secukinumab) is a human monoclonal antibody. Secukinumab binds and reduces the activity of Interleukin 17 (IL-17). AIN457 was given as i.v. (10mg/kg) at baseline, week 2 and week 4, and then s.c. (75 or 150mg) every 4 weeks starting at week 8.

BIOLOGICAL

Placebo

Placebo was given as i.v. at baseline, week 2 and week 4, and then s.c. every 4 weeks starting at week 8.

BIOLOGICAL

Abatacept

Abatacept (from 500 to 1000 mg i.v. based on weight) was given as i.v. at baseline, weeks 2 and 4, and then every 4 weeks starting at week 8.
