Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Effect of Secukinumab on Aortic Vascular Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Biomarkers After 12 Weeks of Treatment, Compared to Placebo, and up to 52 Weeks of Treatment With Secukinumab in Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque-type Psoriasis
Brief Summary: This study evaluated the effect of secukinumab compared to placebo on aortic vascular inflammation in adult patients who have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis that is poorly controlled by current psoriasis treatments.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with psoriasis
* Age and sex matched patients with CAD, with untreated hypertension and healthy subjects

Exclusion Criteria:

* for psoriasis patients were presence of wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction ≤ 50%, psoriatic arthritis, history of acute coronary syndrome, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumors. CAD was excluded in psoriasis patients by absence of clinical history, angina and reversible myocardial ischemia, as assessed by dobutamine stress echocardiography or thallium scintigraphy
* regarding the group of CAD patients, we only included patients without history of ST elevation myocardial infarction in order to exclude the presence of transmural scar compromising myocardial function indices. Thus, CAD patients with wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction of ≤ 50% were excluded. In addition, exclusion criteria, were history of acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation within the last year, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumor
* in normal controls, CAD was excluded by the presence of normal ECG, absence of clinical history and absence of reversible ischemia by means of treadmill test or dobutamine stress echocardiography
B: Inclusion Criteria:

- Males and females at least 18 years of age with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque psoriasis
* Previous exposure to IL-17A or IL-17 receptor targeting agents.
* Other active or ongoing disease that may interfere with evaluation of psoriasis or places the patient at unacceptable risk
* Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years or older with diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to first dose of study drug;
* Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of 12 or greater, AND Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe); Psoriasis covering at least 10% of body surface area;
* No evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Tuberculosis or other serious infections.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-plaque or drug induced forms of psoriasis;
* Cannot discontinue current oral, injectable or topical therapy for psoriasis or cannot discontinue phototherapy (Psoralen Ultraviolet A; Ultraviolet B).
* Any uncontrolled significant medical condition.
D: Inclusion criteria:

* Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential\* must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3(R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information.

  \*Women of childbearing potential are defined as:
  * having experienced menarche and
  * not postmenopausal (12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause) and
  * not permanently sterilized (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy).
* Age ≥ 18 years at screening
* Have a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study drug. Duration of diagnosis may be reported by the patient.
* Have stable moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis at both Screening and Baseline (Randomization):

  * Have an involved body surface area (BSA) ≥ 10% and
  * Have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ≥ 12 and
  * Have a static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of ≥ 3.
* Must be candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy for psoriasis treatment, as assessed by the investigator
* Must be candidates for treatment with adalimumab (Humira®) according to local label as confirmed by the investigator.
* Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with GCP and local legislation

Exclusion criteria:

* Patients with

  * non-plaque forms of psoriasis (including guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular)
  * current drug-induced psoriasis (including an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium)
  * active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis that might confound trial evaluations according to investigator's judgment
* Previous exposure to ABBV-066
* Previous exposure to adalimumab (Humira®)
* Currently enrolled in another investigational study or less than 30 days or more from screening since completing another investigational drug or device study.
* Use of any restricted medication or any drug considered likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the study.
* Major surgery performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization or planned within 12 months after screening (e.g. hip replacement, removal aneurysm, stomach ligation).
* Known chronic or relevant acute infections, such as active tuberculosis (TB), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or viral hepatitis; QuantiFERON® TB test or purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test will be performed according to local labelling for Humira®. If the result is positive, patients may participate in the study if further work up (according to local practice/guidelines) establishes conclusively that the patient has no evidence of active TB. If presence of latent TB is established, then treatment should have been initiated and maintained according to local country guidelines.
* Any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except appropriately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of uterine cervix.
* Evidence of a current or previous disease, medical condition (including chronic alcohol or drug abuse) other than psoriasis, surgical procedure (i.e., organ transplant), medical examination finding (including vital signs and electrocardiogram \[ECG\]), or laboratory value at the Screening Visit outside the reference range that in the opinion of the investigator is clinically significant and would make the study participant unreliable to adhere to the protocol or to complete the trial, compromise the safety of the patient, or compromise the quality of the data.
* History of allergy/hypersensitivity to a systemically administered biologic agent or its excipients
* Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial
* Previous enrolment in this trial
