E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of subcutaneously administered AIN457 in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

- To evaluate the long-term efficacy of subcutaneously administered AIN457 in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis, assessed by two approved psoriasis-specific measurement tools, the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and by the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA).
- To evaluate the long-term immunogenicity (anti-AIN457 antibodies) of subcutaneously administered AIN457 in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis.

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

- Patients who completed the previous core study CAIN457A2211. A patient is defined as having completed the core study if he/she completed the study up to and including the End of treatment visit 13 (F4).
- Patients 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 assessment is performed.
- Patients must be expected to benefit from ongoing treatment with AIN457, as assessed by the patient and the investigator.
- Male patients must consent to practice reliable contraception during the study and for 16 weeks after the last dose of study drug administration.

Reliable contraception is defined as using a highly effective method of birth control (i.e. one that results in a less than 1% per year failure rate when used consistently and correctly, such as implants (by the partner), injectables, combined oral contraceptives (by the partner), and some intrauterine devices (by the partner); Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) are not acceptable.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

- Patients who experience a second consecutive full relapse at the End of treatment visit 13 (week F4) of the core study CAIN457A2211
- 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 (> 5 mIU/mL)
- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unwilling to use effective contraception during the study and for 16 weeks after stopping treatment.

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

At every 4 weeks (1 and 2)
Every 12 weeks initially then 24 weeks (3)
