A 52-week, Multicenter Study to Assess the Time Course of Response to Secukinumab on Joint Inflammation Using Power Doppler Ultrasonography in Patients With Active Psoriatic Arthritis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating AIN457 (secukinumab) and Placebo for Psoriatic Arthritis. Completed, enrolled 166 participants across 33 sites in 17 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study was designed to leverage the sensitivity of ultrasonography available in clinical practice setting to better describe the time course of response to secukinumab (150 mg and 300 mg) on joint synovitis and enthesitis in PsA patients with an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs. PDUS changes in joint synovitis will be assessed using the global Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT)-European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) synovitis score (GLOESS) and changes in joint enthesitis were assessed using the OMERACT enthesitis score.

Interventions
Is a recombinant monoclonal antibody which neutralizes the activity of IL-17A, and has been shown to be effective in treating patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Secukinumab 150 mg provided in 1 mL pre filled syringes (PFS) for s.c. injection. The 300 mg dose was administered as 2 × PFS injections.
Secukinumab placebo was provided in a 1 mL PFS for s.c. injection.
