Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Biologics such as secukinumab are currently the most effective treatment option for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. But they are costly for healthcare systems and still described according to a'one dose fits all' dosing regimen, leading to potential over-and undertreatment. In this study we aim to investigate the predictive value of early serum trough levels of secukinumab and determine the therapeutic window of secukinumab in psoriasis patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will be included after signing informed consent. After inclusion, patients will continue on standard dosing schedule of secukinumab (i.e. subcutaneous injections once a week for 5 weeks (300 mg) followed by subcutaneous injections every 4 weeks). During each study visit blood will be taken in order to quantify Ctroughs and/or anti-drug antibodies towards secukinumab. In addition, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score will be evaluated by a physician. Patients complete the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and European quality of life EQ-5D instrument at each visit.
