Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Study of Subcutaneous Secukinumab to Demonstrate Efficacy After Twelve Weeks of Treatment, and to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Long-term Efficacy up to One Year in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque-type Psoriasis
Brief Summary: This study will assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab compared to placebo in patients that have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have had a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to the first screening procedure.
* Have a PASI score of 12 or greater AND a PGA score of 3 ("moderate") or 4 ("severe") at Baseline (Day 1).
* Considered by dermatologist investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy or phototherapy of psoriasis (either naïve or history of previous treatment).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Currently have non-plaque forms of psoriasis, eg, erythrodermic, guttate, or pustular psoriasis, with the exception of nail psoriasis which is allowed.
* Have current drug induced psoriasis, eg, a new onset of psoriasis or an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antimalarial drugs or lithium.
* Subjects who cannot discontinue systemic therapies and/or topical therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and cannot discontinue phototherapy (UVB or PUVA) for the study are excluded.
B: Inclusion Criteria: - Subjects who completed study 20030115 or 20030117 qualify to enroll into this study (provided that they meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria). - Heterosexually active men and women of child-bearing potential must agree to use a medically acceptable form of contraception throughout the study. - Subject or designee must have the ability to self-inject investigational product. - Subject must be capable of understanding and giving written voluntary informed consent. - Negative serum pregnancy test less than or equal to 14 days prior to the first dose of investigational product in all female subjects (except those surgically sterile or at least 5 years postmenopausal) Exclusion Criteria: - Active guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular psoriasis at the time of the baseline visit - Any adverse event or infection at the time of the baseline visit or at any time during the previous etanercept psoriasis study which, in the opinion of Amgen or the Investigator, would preclude participation in the study - Presence of a serious infection less than or equal to 30 days prior to the baseline visit - Evidence of skin conditions at the baseline visit (e.g., eczema) that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of investigational product on psoriasis - Previous receipt of anti-TNF agent(s) other than etanercept - Receipt of any investigational product(s), other than etanercept, less than or equal to 30 days prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Receipt of anti-CD4 or diphtheria IL-2 fusion protein less than or equal to 24 weeks prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) light therapy less than or equal to 14 days prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Ultraviolet A (UVA) light therapy less than or equal to 14 days prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Ultraviolet B (UVB) light therapy less than or equal to 14 days prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Receipt of any other systemic psoriasis therapy or oral or parenteral corticosteroids less than or equal to 14 days prior to first dose of investigational product in this study - Pregnant or breast-feeding females - Significant concurrent medical conditions prior to enrollment, including: uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure measurement of greater than 180 mm Hg or an untreated diastolic blood pressure of greater than 110 mm Hg); myocardial infarction less than or equal to 52 weeks prior to baseline visit; unstable angina pectoris; uncompensated congestive heart failure; severe pulmonary disease requiring hospitalization or supplemental oxygen therapy; diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or any other demyelinating disease; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; history of cancer (other than in-situ cervical cancer or resected cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma) less than or equal to 5 years prior to administration of first dose of investigational product; open cutaneous ulcers; known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive; any condition that might cause this study to be detrimental to the subject, in the judgment of the investigator.
C: Inclusion Criteria: - Active, but clinically stable, plaque psoriasis involving greater than or equal to 10% of the body surface area - A minimum PASI score of 10 obtained during the screening period Exclusion Criteria: - Active guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular psoriasis at the time of the screening visit - Evidence of skin conditions at the time of the screening visit (e.g., eczema) that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of an investigational product on psoriasis
D: Inclusion criteria:

* Moderate and severe plaque-type psoriasis diagnosed for at least 6 months.
* Severity of psoriasis disease meeting all of the following three criteria:
* Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of 12 or greater,
* Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 3 or greater,
* Total body surface area (BSA) affected of 10% or greater.
* Inadequate control by prior use of topical treatment, phototherapy and/or systemic therapy.

Exclusion criteria:

* Current forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque-type psoriasis (for example, pustular, erythrodermic, guttate).
* Current drug-induced psoriasis.
* Previous use of secukinumab or any drug that targets IL-17 or IL-17 receptor.
* Significant medical problems such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure or a condition that significantly immunocompromises the subject.
* Hematological abnormalities.
* History of an ongoing, chronic or recurrent infectious disease, or evidence of untreated tuberculosis.
* History of lymphoproliferative disease or history of malignancy of any organ system within the past 5 years.
* Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
* Subjects not willing to limit UV light exposure during the study Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
