Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Response Rate of Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 2 or Lower at Week 16 for CLP, MLP and LPP
Baseline up to week 16

Number of treatment responders at week 16, where response is defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 2 or lower at Week 16. IGA is measured on a scale from 0 - 4 with 0 = Clear, 1 = Minimal; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; and 4 = Severe with 0 being best score and 4 being worst score. CLP=Cutaneous lichen planus, MLP=Mucosal lichen planus, LPP=Lichen planopilaris. Posterior median and 95% credible interval (instead of 95% confidence interval) were derived using Bayesian method based on beta-binomial model.

Secondary Endpoints

Frequently asked questions about secukinumab Q4W

What is secukinumab Q4W used for?

Secukinumab Q4W has been studied in lichen planus, including cutaneous lichen planus, mucosal lichen planus, and lichen planopilaris. It is an investigational use for this dermatologic condition and has been evaluated in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial. It is not approved for lichen planus.

What does secukinumab Q4W target?

Secukinumab Q4W targets IL17A. It is a monoclonal antibody that acts as an inhibitor of this cytokine. By binding to IL17A, the drug is designed to interfere with the inflammatory signaling pathway implicated in lichen planus.

Who is developing secukinumab Q4W?

Secukinumab Q4W is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis conducted the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study evaluating secukinumab 300 mg in patients with lichen planus.

What phase is secukinumab Q4W in?

Secukinumab Q4W is in Phase 2 development for lichen planus. The single trial evaluating it has been completed. It is an investigational therapy and is not approved for the treatment of lichen planus or any of its subtypes.

What clinical trials is secukinumab Q4W in?

Secukinumab Q4W has been evaluated in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT04300296, titled a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab 300 mg in patients with lichen planus. The trial enrolled 111 patients across the United States, France, and Germany.
