Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 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;Secondary Objective: 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.;Primary end point(s): The percentage of Participants achieving a 75% Improvement from Baseline in PASI Score. The percentage of Participants who showed Investgator's Global Assessment (IGA) mod 2011 response of 0 or 1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12 | — |
