E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate superior efficacy of secukinumab versus placebo at Week 12, based on both PASI 75 and IGA mod 2011 0 or 1 response rates in children and adolescents aged 6 to less than 18 years with severe chronic plaque psoriasis who had inadequate control of symptoms with topical treatment or failure to respond to or tolerate previous systemic treatment and/or UV therapy |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the long term safety and tolerability of secukinumab in this pediatric age group and will describe the efficacy and safety of secukinumab compared to etanercept.
To provide efficacy and safety data to support the extension of label of secukinumab to include children and adolescents (6 years to <18 years) with severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
Other protocol-defined secondary objectives may apply. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) Must be 6 to less than 18 years of age at the time of randomization
2) Severe plaque-type psoriasis meeting all of the following three criteria:
PASI score of 20 or greater,
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 4
Total body surface area (BSA) affected of 10% or greater.
3) Patients being regarded by the investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy because of: 1) inadequate control of symptoms with topical treatment 2) failure to respond to or tolerate previous systemic treatment and/or UV therapy
Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1) Current forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque-type psoriasis (for example, pustular, erythrodermic, guttate) active at randomization.
2) Current drug-induced psoriasis.
3) Previous use of secukinumab or any drug that targets IL-17 or IL-17 receptor.
4) Underlying condition (including, but not limited to metabolic, hematologic, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, neurologic, endocrine, cardiac, infectious or gastrointestinal) which in the opinion of the investigator significantly immunocompromises the subject and/or places the subject at unacceptable risk for receiving an immunomodulatory therapy of an ongoing, chronic or recurrent infectious disease, or evidence of untreated tuberculosis.
5) History of lymphoproliferative disease or history of malignancy of any organ system within the past 5 years.
6) Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply. |
