For people 6+ with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
LOOK AND FEEL BETTER WITH COSENTYX® (secukinumab)
Results fast. Clear skin that can last.
In clinical trials, 6 out of 10 people taking COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear at 12 weeks. Approximately 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance vs. ~5% taking placebo. Approximately 6 out of 10 people saw 90% skin clearance vs. 1% taking placebo.
Many who saw results at 1 year maintained them at 5 years.†
†After 3 years, patients and doctors were told which medication was being used. Knowing the study drug being used may affect the results.
Among those moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients who kept a symptom diary (39% of people), people taking COSENTYX reported an improvement in symptoms like pain, itching, and scaling at 12 weeks, compared with those not taking COSENTYX (placebo) in the studies.
COSENTYX also improves troublesome areas like scalp and nails.
Nail and scalp psoriasis can be signs of another potential related disease, psoriatic arthritis.

§At week 12, 53% of people on COSENTYX 300 mg saw 90% scalp clearance compared with 2% taking placebo.
||Nail psoriasis improved by 46% in people receiving COSENTYX 300 mg compared to an improvement of about 12% in people receiving placebo at week 16.
¶Over 30% of people on COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear on their palms and the bottoms of their feet at 16 weeks compared to 1.5% with placebo.
Real people are seeing and feeling real results, even on troublesome areas:
“My scalp was terrible. I just let my mom trim my hair. I didn’t want to go in and have someone wash my hair and see my scalp."
"Now that I’m clear, I’m not as restricted. I can get it professionally cut.”
“I had it all the way up to the fingertips, including the nails. At the cashout line, the cashier would ask me to pay with a card so she wouldn’t have to touch my money. That was everyday life.”
"Now it’s the best feeling to be in public. I’m clear.”
What’s the connection between plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?
Many people with plaque psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis, especially if they have psoriasis on their nails and scalp. If left untreated, psoriatic arthritis can cause permanent joint damage. COSENTYX works to treat all of this, and helps stop further joint damage. Talk to your doctor if you recognize these symptoms to learn more.
In another trial, up to 60% of patients taking COSENTYX 150 mg saw at least a 20% improvement in psoriatic arthritis symptoms at 16 weeks versus 18% of patients taking placebo.
