• Known diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in doses exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent), or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to first research biopsy
• Patients with symptomatic CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
  • Patients with asymptomatic, clinically stable CNS metastases are allowed provided they do not require steroid treatment
• Has not been treated with secukinumab within the last 12 months

• Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection
• Known history of Hepatitis B or known active Hepatitis C virus infection. NOTE: no testing for Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C is required
• Known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis)
• Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
• History of allogenic tissue or solid organ transplant
• History of active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within the past 12 months, with the exception of ICI induced irAEs.

Lab values
