This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data for ACZ885 (a fully human anti-interleukin-1beta (anti-IL-1beta) monoclonal antibody) administered as an injection subcutaneously (s.c.) in patients with Muckle-Wells Syndrome. Part I is an 8-week open-label, active treatment period to identify ACZ885 responders. Part II is a double-blind, placebo-controlled period to assess primarily the efficacy of ACZ885 compared to placebo. Part III is an open-label, active treatment period where patients will receive ACZ885 every 8 weeks after withdrawal or completion of Part II.
