Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~Diagnosis of GCA classified according to the following criteria:~* Age at onset of disease ≥ 50 years.~* History of ESR ≥ 30 mm/hr or CRP ≥ 10 mg/L.~* Unequivocal cranial symptoms of GCA (new-onset localized headache, scalp or temporal artery tenderness, ischemia-related vision loss, or otherwise unexplained mouth or jaw pain upon mastication) AND/OR symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) defined as shoulder and/or hip girdle pain associated with inflammatory morning stiffness~* Temporal artery biopsy revealing features of GCA AND/OR~* evidence of large-vessel vasculitis by angiography or cross-sectional imaging study such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET CT), or ultrasound~Patients with new onset GCA or relapsing GCA (Definition new onset: diagnosis of GCA within 6 weeks of Baseline Visit; Definition relapsing GCA: diagnosis of GCA (in accordance with inclusion criterion no. 4) \> 6 weeks before Baseline Visit and in the meantime achieved remission (absence of signs and symptoms attributable to GCA and normalization of ESR (\< 30 mm/hr) and CRP (\<10.0mg/L) included) including previous treatment with ≥ 25 mg/day prednisolone equivalent for ≥ 2 weeks.)~Active disease as defined by the presence of signs and symptoms of GCA (cranial or PMR) and elevated ESR ≥ 30 mm/hr, or CRP ≥ 10 mg/L, attributed to active GCA within 6 weeks of Baseline.~Prednisolone dose of 25-60 mg/day at Baseline.~Exclusion Criteria:~Previous exposure to secukinumab or other biologic drug directly targeting Interleukin(IL)-17 or IL-17 receptor.~Patients treated with any cell-depleting therapies including but not limited to anti-CD20 or investigational agents (e.g. anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD5 or anti-CD19).~Patients who have previously been treated with any biologic agent including but not limited to tocilizumab, sirukumab, abatacept, or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitors (infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, certolizumab, golimumab).~Patients who have previously been treated with tofacitinib or baricitinib.~Patients treated with i.v. immunoglobulins or plasmapheresis within 8 weeks prior to Baseline.~Patients treated with cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus or everolimus within 6 months prior to Baseline.~Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine, cyclosporine A, azathioprine, sulfasalazine or mycophenolate mofetil within 4 weeks of Baseline.~Patients treated with leflunomide within 8 weeks of Baseline unless a cholestyramine washout has been performed in which case the patient must be treated within 4 weeks of Baseline.~Patients treated with an alkylating agent except for cyclophosphamide as mentioned above.~Patients requiring systemic chronic glucocorticoid therapy for any other reason than GCA.~Chronic systemic glucocorticoid therapy over the last 4 years or longer; or inability, in the opinion of the investigator, to withdraw glucocorticoid therapy through protocol-defined taper regimen due to suspected or established adrenal insufficiency.~Patients requiring chronic (i.e. not occasional prn) high potency opioid analgesics for pain management.~Active ongoing inflammatory diseases or underlying metabolic, hematologic, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, neurologic, endocrine, cardiac, infectious or gastrointestinal conditions, which in the opinion of the investigator immunosuppressed the patient and/or places the patient at unacceptable risk for participation in an immunomodulatory therapy.~History of renal trauma, glomerulonephritis, or patients with one kidney only, or a serum creatinine level exceeding 1.8 mg/dL (159.12 μmol/L).~Screening total white blood cell (WBC) count \< 3000/μL, or platelets \< 100 000/μL or neutrophils \< 1500/μL or hemoglobin \< 8.3 g/dL (83 g/L).~Major ischemic event, unrelated to GCA, within 12 weeks of screening.~Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C at screening or randomization.~Life vaccinations within 6 weeks prior to Baseline or planned vaccination during study participation until 12 weeks after last study treatment administration.
