Popis: BACKGROUND Secukinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively neutralizes interleukin-17A and shows long-lasting efficacy and safety in plaque psoriasis. More evidence is required to optimize secukinumab dosing according to clinical response. OBJECTIVES GAIN compared the efficacy and safety of secukinumab 300 mg every 2 weeks (q2w) with 300 mg every 4 weeks (q4w) in patients achieving ≥ 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) but not PASI 90 after 16 weeks. METHODS In total, 772 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis received secukinumab 300 mg subcutaneously at baseline and weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4, then q4w until week 16. At week 16, patients with PASI ≥ 75 to PASI
