- Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society Criteria (ASAS) 20 Response From Week 104 to Week 260 [ Time Frame: Week 104 to Week 260 ]ASAS 20 response is a validated composite assessment, reflecting the proportion of treated patients who achieve within a defined time frame at least 20% improvement in score in at least 3 of a conventional set of 4 clinical domains relevant to AS and no worsening in the fourth domain. In this study, ASAS 20 is used to assess quantitatively the sustainability of clinical benefits of two dosage regimens of secukinumab over the treatment period from Week 104 to Week 260 No Statistical Analysis was performed This was the total for Group 1 Participants that up-titrated are counted only at the originally randomized treatment group.
