↵* In the FUTURE 2 study, 397 patients with active PsA were randomized to subcutaneous secukinumab (300 mg, 150 mg, or 75 mg) or placebo at baseline, weeks 1, 2, and 3, and every 4 weeks from Week 4. Placebo patients were rerandomized to secukinumab 300 mg or 150 mg every 4 weeks from weeks 16 or 24, depending upon clinical response. The overall population includes both patients who are anti–TNF-naive and those who have previously used up to 3 anti-TNF agents but have had an inadequate response or stopped treatment because of safety or tolerability reasons. Data presented are as observed. Data from the 75 mg are not reported because that is not an approved dose of secukinumab. IR: inadequate responders; MDA: minimal disease activity; PBO: placebo; PsA: psoriatic arthritis; TNF: tumor necrosis factor.
