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

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

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)

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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).
