Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
- Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis for at least 6 months before Randomization; the medical history should confirm the presence of pustules in the last 6 months if not present at the time of screening.
- Moderate to severe palmoplantar pustular psoriasis as defined at Baseline by:
• ppPASI score of = 12 and
• DLQI = 10
- Candidate for systemic therapy, defined as having palmoplantar pustular psoriasis inadequately controlled by:
• Topical treatment, and/or
• Phototherapy, and/or
• Previous systemic therapy

Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 189
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 21

Exclusion criteria:
- Forms of psoriasis other than chronic plaque psoriasis and palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (e.g., erythrodermic, guttate, or generalized pustular psoriasis)
- Drug-induced psoriasis (e.g., new onset or current exacerbation from beta-blockers, calcium channel inhibitors, or lithium) or history of proven contact dermatitis
- Patients not willing to limit UV light exposure (e.g. sunbathing and/or the use of tanning devices) during the course of the study
- Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis treatments (e.g., topical or systemic corticosteroids, UV therapy). Washout periods detailed in the protocol have to be adhered to
- Previous exposure to any biologic drug directly targeting IL-17 or IL-17 Receptor (e.g., secukinumab, ixekizumab, or brodalumab)
- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using effective methods of contraception during dosing of study treatment and for 16 weeks after stopping treatment.
- Active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis that might confound the evaluation of the benefit of secukinumab therapy.
- Use of any other investigational drugs within 4 weeks of study drug initiation or within a period of 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment, whichever is longer

Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab 150 mg s.c. and/or 300 mg s.c. in patients with moderate to severe chronic palmoplantar pustular psoriasis at Week 16 with respect to the palmoplantar pustulosis Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 response rate (ppPASI 75) compared to placebo.

Secondary Objective: 1/To demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab 150 mg s.c. and/or 300 mg s.c in patients with moderate to severe chronic palmoplantar pustular psoriasis at Week 16 with respect to the mean change from Baseline of palmoplantar pustulosis Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (ppPASI), compared to placebo.
2/To evaluate the time courses of the mean ppPASI response rates until Week 16 (secukinumab 150 mg s.c. and 300 mg s.c. compared to placebo), and over time until week 52 and week 148.
3/ To evaluate the clinical safety and tolerability of secukinumab treatment regimens as assessed by vital signs, clinical laboratory variables, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and adverse events monitoring.
