Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether early intervention with subcutaneous (s.c.) secukinumab 300 mg in patients with new-onset moderate to severe plaque psoriasis may lead to prolonged symptom-free periods by preventing reactivation of old lesions or ultimately totally hindering the occurrence of new lesions, i.e., changing the natural course of the disease (Main Study).

BIOLOGICAL

Secukinumab

Secukinumab (AIN457) 300 mg was administered in an open-label fashion according to label as 2 s.c. injections of secukinumab 150 mg (1-mL liquid formulation in a pre-filled syringe). Each 300-mg dose was provided as 2 pre-filled syringes of 150-mg secukinumab in a single box. Each syringe was labeled as AIN457 150 mg/1 mL.

RADIATION

nb-UVB

Narrow-band UVB applied in 1 or 2 cycles, each comprising a period of 12 weeks with 2 to 3 treatment sessions per week totaling 24 to 36 sessions per cycle. The application was performed according to the investigational site's protocol, taking into account the patient's skin type. A maximum dose of 3 J/cm2 on the body and 1 J/cm2 on the face was recommended
