This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven randomized withdrawal study to
investigate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab treatment in the Juvenile Idiopathic
Arthritis (JIA) categories of Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (JPsA) and Enthesitis-related
Arthritis (ERA). The study is divided into 3 parts (plus a post-treatment follow-up period)
consisting of open-label, single-arm active treatment in Treatment Periods 1 and 3 and a
randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, event-driven withdrawal design in Treatment
Period 2.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Confirmed diagnosis of Enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) or Juvenile psoriatic

2. Active disease (ERA or JPsA) defined as having both:

- at least 3 active joints

- at least 1 site of active enthesitis at baseline or documented by history.

3. Inadequate response (at least 1 month) or intolerance to at least 1 nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAID)

4. Inadequate response (at least 2 months) or intolerance to at least 1 Disease-modifying
antirheumatic drugs (DMARD)

5. No concomitant use of second line agents such as disease-modifying and/or
immunosuppressive drugs.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients fulfilling any ILAR diagnostic JIA category other than ERA or JPsA.

2. Patients who have ever received biologic immunomodulating agents

3. Patients taking any non-biologic DMARD except for MTX (or sulfasalazine for ERA
patients only).
