Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to compare ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W with placebo in maintenance of treatment response, as measured by the time to relapse during the randomized double-blind withdrawal period in cDMARD-IR and bDMARD-naive patients with active PsA who meet randomization criteria (Coates criteria for MDA for 3 consecutive months over 4 consecutive visits).;Secondary Objective: compare ixekizumab 80mg Q2W with placebo in maintenance of treatment response,measured by the proportion of patients who meet relapse criteria during the randomized double-blind withdrawal period in cDMARD-IR and bDMARD-naive patients with active PsA who meet randomization criteria (Coates criteria for MDA for 3 consecutive mths over 4 consecutive visits) evaluate the time to loss of response for each individual component of MDA in the randomized double-blind withdrawal period evaluate time to first meeting Coates criteria for MDA during the initial open-label treatment period evaluate time to achieving Coates criteria for MDA during the initial open-label treatment period (Coates criteria for MDA for 3 consecutive mths over 4 consecutive visits) assess the efficacy of ixekizumab 80mg Q2W after disease relapse after randomization in the randomized double-blind treatment period assess effect of treatment response as measured by the HAQ-DI of ixekizumab 80mg Q2W throughout study;Primary end point(s): Relapse as defined by loss of Coates Criteria for MDA;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 104 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
