4 Year Extension Study of Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque-type Psoriasis

Novartis Pharmaceuticals675 enrolled

Overview

CAIN457A2304E1 was an extension study to two phase III studies, CAIN457A2304 and CAIN457A2307 (core studies). This extension study planned to collect up to four years of long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy data of secukinumab in both the fixed interval regimen and the retreatment at start of relapse regimen. All subjects who completed the full study treatment period (52 weeks) in the cores studies CAIN457A2304 and CAIN457A2307 were eligible to participate in this extension study. In this extension study, the prefilled syringe (PFS) liquid formulation of secukinumab was used.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects must be able to understand and communicate with the investigator and comply with the requirements of the study and must give a written, signed and dated informed consent before any study related activity is performed. Where relevant, a legal representative will also sign the informed consent according to local laws and regulations. 2. Subjects who complete Week 52 of study CAIN457A2304 or complete Week 40 of study CAIN457A2307 3. Subjects expected to benefit from participation in the extension study, as assessed by the subject and investigator Exclusion Criteria: 1. A protocol deviation in the core studies which according to the investigator will prevent the meaningful analysis of the extension study for the individual subject 2. Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis or non-psoriasis treatments. Time period from last use of prohibited treatments in the core study to first dose of study drug in this extension study. 3. Subjects expected to be exposed to an undue safety risk if participating in the trial 4. Current severe progressive or uncontrolled disease which in the judgment of the investigator renders the subject unsuitable for the trial 5. Plans for administration of live vaccines during the study period 6. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (\>10 mIU/mL).

Primary Outcomes

Long-term Safety and Tolerability of Secukinumab

Analysis of absolute and relative frequencies for treatment emergent Adverse Event (AE), Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and Deaths by primary System Organ Class (SOC)

Time frame: Week 268

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of 75 at Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208 and 260

PASI: Combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area \* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4)

Time frame: Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Scores of 50, 90 and 100 Over Time at Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208 and 260

Time frame: Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

Percent Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208 and 260

Time frame: Baseline, Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment Modified 2011 (IGA) 2011 Score of 0 or 1 Over Time at Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208 and 260

The IGA mod 2011 is a static scale, i.e., it refers exclusively to the participant's disease state at the time of the assessments and does not attempt a comparison to any of the participant's previous disease states at prior visits. The score ranges from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). The score 0 is clear, 1 is almost clear, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate, and 4 is severe.

Time frame: Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

The DLQI is a quality of life measure used in the psoriatic The 10-item questionnaire has a score range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst) with higher scores indicating poor quality of life. The instrument contains six functional scales (i.e., symptoms and feeling, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, treatment). Each item has 4 response categories, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). "Not relevant" is also a valid response and is scored as 0. The DLQI total score is a sum of the 10 questions

Time frame: Baseline, Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

Percentage of Participants With Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI©) Response (DLQI 0 or 1) Over Time at Weeks 52, 104, 156, 208 and 260

Time frame: Week 52, Week 104, Week 156, Week 208, Week 260

ED-5Q: Participant rated questionnaire to assess health related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. Five domains are assessed mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) each with three possible score: 1 indicates no problems, better state of health; 3 indicates worst state of health (example "confined to bed") A visual analog scale (VAS) assesses the health status from 0 (worst possible health state) to 100 (best possible health state)

Time frame: Baseline, Week 52, Week 104, Week 156

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA)

The development of anti-secunimubab anti-bodies will decrease a participant's ability to respond to secukinumab treatment.

Time frame: Week 268

Percentage of Patients With Experiencing a Relapse

Relapse is defined as greater than 50% loss of the maximal PASI improvement from baseline. PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area\* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). A negative mean percentage change indicates improvement.

Time frame: Week 260

Percentage of Patients With Experiencing a Rebound

Rebound of disease is defined as a worsening of PASI of \> 125% of the value at baseline (core study), or new pustular, erythrodermic or more inflammatory psoriasis occurring within 8 weeks of stopping therapy (i.e., if this definition was fulfilled at more than 8 weeks after last study treatment administration, this was defined as rebound like event). PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area\* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). A negative mean percentage change indicates improvement.

Time frame: Up to Week 264 (8 weeks post last dose)
