Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether canakinumab administered every 4 weeks is able to maintain disease remission compared to placebo in canakinumab-responder patients;Secondary Objective: 1)To determine the efficacy of canakinumab to achieve a complete or almost complete response after 24 weeks 2)To evaluate optimal dose of canakinumab to induce disease remission 3)To assess the profile over time in each of the 4 key PAPA signs and symptoms (arthritis, foruncolosis, pyoderma gangrenosum, hydrosiadenite suppurativa) from baseline to end of study. 4)To assess the profile over time in physician’s and patients’s global assessment score from baseline to end of study. 5)To assess the profile over time in acute phase reactants (ESR, CRP, SAA) from baseline to end of study.;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients not experiencing a disease flare in the treatment arm compared to the placebo arm at week 48.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48 Weeks | — |
