| Main Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the efficacy profile in Cw6-negative patients compared to Cw6-positive patients treated with secukinumab 300 mg with respect to the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 90 response rate after 16 weeks.;Secondary Objective: To compare the proportion of responders to PASI 50/75/90/100 between cohorts at each time point. To compare the mean changes vs baseline in IGA mod 2011 between cohorts at each time point. - To compare time to reach PASI 90 between cohorts. - To compare time to reach PASI 75 between cohorts. - To evaluate the Quality of Life by means of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in all patients at each time point. - To evaluate anxiety and depression in all patients at each time point. - To evaluate the correlation between the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and PASI in all patients. - To evaluate changes from baseline in weight, BMI and waist in all patients at each time point. - To compare safety and tolerability between cohorts for 24 weeks. - To evaluate the amount of resources used during the study in comparison with the 6 months prior to the beginning of the study.;Primary end point(s): To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the efficacy profile in Cw6-negative patients compared to Cw6-positive patients treated with secukinumab 300 mg with respect to the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 90 response rate after 16 weeks.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 16 weeks | — |
