Study description

It is expected that in routine treatment of psoriasis, due to the current recommendations and medical practice, transition periods before administration of Secukinumab will be short. Also, some concomitant treatments with pharmacologically active substances will be given in parallel, tapered or stopped only after the effectiveness of Secukinumab in the individual patient becomes evident, despite lack of experience in their combined application. The objective of this descriptive study is to assess prior and concomitant psoriasis treatments in patients receiving Secukinumab in the routine treatment of moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis, focusing on duration of transition periods from prior treatments to Secukinumab and on the use of concomitant treatments. Furthermore, effectiveness as assessed in clinical routine as well as safety will be described. This is a single-cohort, non-interventional study with a study duration of 24 weeks recruiting patients for whom the decision of treatment with Secukinumab for plaque-psoriasis has been made before inclusion. It is expected that most patients are likely to be seen at the regular visits at weeks 0, 4, 12, 16, and 24 and that some patients may also be seen at some of the additional visits at weeks 1, 2, 3, 8, and 20. The study population will consist of a representative group of adults with moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy and for whom routine treatment with Secukinumab is planned. The goal is to recruit a total of approximately 1200 patients in approximately 300-400 sites in Germany.
