16-week Efficacy and 2-year Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Secukinumab in Participants With Active Ankylosing Spondylitis

Summary

The purpose of this study is to provide 16-week efficacy, safety and tolerability data versus placebo to support the use of secukinumab 150 mg by subcutaneous (s.c.) self-administration with or without a loading regimen and maintenance dosing using pre-filled syringe (PFS) and to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability up to 2 years in subjects with active AS despite current or previous NSAID, non-biologic DMARD, or biologic anti-TNFα therapy.
