Inclusion criteria

  1. Signed must be obtained for adult participants before any assessment is performed. Written informed assent and parental permission (age as per local law) must be obtained for pediatric participants before any assessment is performed. If participants reach age of consent (age as per local law) during the study, they will need to also sign the corresponding study informed consent(s).
  2. Ability to communicate effectively with the investigator, to understand and willing to comply with the requirements of the study.
  3. Participant has completed treatment per protocol in a Novartis study of secukinumab (unless otherwise specified in a parent study protocol). Participants, who derive benefit from the treatment with secukinumab but have not completed the treatment in certain parent studies, due to parent study termination by Novartis, may be eligible if the termination was due to reasons other than safety or lack of efficacy (technical / administrative reasons).
  4. Participant is deriving benefit from secukinumab, investigator believes he/she would continue to derive benefit from secukinumab and the benefit outweighs the risk, based on the investigator's judgement.
  5. Participant is unable to obtain access to the marketed secukinumab formulation per local prescription and/or reimbursement guidelines.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant has prematurely discontinued study treatment in the parent protocol.
  2. Women of , defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using methods of during the entire study or longer if required by locally approved prescribing information (e.g., in European Union (EU) 20 weeks).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

For pediatric participants, the dose should not be increased beyond the maximum dose evaluated in the respective weight category in the parent protocol.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
