This index comprises 3 components: severity (SPIs), psychosocial (SPIp) and intervention (SPIi) and were evaluated by both health care professional (professional, proSPI) and the patient (self-administered: saSPI). Only the severity components were evaluated for the primary objective: proSPI (s) and saSPI (s). Changes at Week 16 compared to Baseline in patients suffering from moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were analyzed for the purpose of this study.

Outcome results

Primary

Changes of saSPI (s) at Week 16 Compared to Baseline

The primary efficacy objective of the study was to evaluate the benefit of secukinumab on the severity of psoriasis based on the SPI. This index comprises 3 components: severity (SPIs), psychosocial (SPIp) and intervention (SPIi) and were evaluated by both health care professional (professional, proSPI) and the patient (self-administered: saSPI). Only the severity components were evaluated for the primary objective: proSPI (s) and saSPI (s). Changes at Week 16 compared to Baseline in patients suffering from moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were analyzed. proSPI (s) score range is 0 to 50. Higher score means worse condition

Time frame: Week 0 (baseline) to 16 weeks

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): The FAS comprised all patients from the IS who were administered at least one dose of investigational drug with at least one Baseline and one post-baseline SPI evaluation.
