| Main Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of secukinumab 75 or 150 mg at Week 24 is superior to placebo in patients with active PsA based on the proportion of patients achieving an ACR20 response in the subgroup of subjects who are TNFa inhibitor naïve.;Secondary Objective: • Proportion of subjects achieving an ACR20 response in the entire study population at Week 24. • HAQ-DI in the subgroup of subjects who are TNFa inhibitor naïve at Week 24. • Joint/bone structural damage (van der Heijde modified total Sharp score) in the subgroup of subjects who are TNFa inhibitor naïve at Week 24. • Proportion of subjects achieving Major Clinical Response at Week 52 in the subgroup of subjects who are TNFa inhibitor naïve at Week 52. ;Primary end point(s): ACR 20;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks | — |
