E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that the time to flare in Treatment Period 2 is longer with secukinumab for combined ERA and JPsA groups than with placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate the effect of secukinumab treatment for all patients and each JIA category in Treatment Period 1 up to Week 12 (end of Treatment period 1) with respect to:
JIA ACR (American College of Rheumatology) 30/50/70/90/100 and inactive disease status
Each JIA ACR core component
Change from baseline Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS)
Total enthesitis count
Total dactylitis count
2. To evaluate withdrawal effect of secukinumab treatment for all patients and each JIA category during and at the end of Treatment Period 2 with respect to:
JIA ACR 30/50/70/90/100 and inactive disease status
3. To evaluate Pharmacokinetics (PK) of secukinumab and confirm the predicted dose in Treatment Period 1
4. To evaluate the safety/tolerability and immunogenicity of Secukinumab |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Confirmed diagnosis of Enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) or Juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) according to the international League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) classification criteria of at least 6 months duration.
2. Active disease (ERA or JPsA) defined as having both:
- at least 3 active joints
- at least 1 site of active enthesitis at baseline or documented by history.
3. Inadequate response (at least 1 month) or intolerance to at least 1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)
4. Inadequate response (at least 2 months) or intolerance to at least 1 Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD)
5. No concomitant use of second line agents such as disease-modifying and/or immunosuppressive drugs.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients fulfilling any ILAR diagnostic JIA category other than ERA or JPsA.
2. Patients who have ever received biologic immunomodulating agents.
3. Patients taking any non-biologic DMARD except for MTX (or sulfasalazine for ERA patients only).
4. Patients with active uncontrolled inflammatory bowel disease or active uncontrolled uveitis.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply. |
