Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Etanercept administered at a higher initial dose provides greater improvement in nail and skin psoriasis symptoms than a regimen with a lower initial dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Active, stable plaque psoriasis defined by the following criteria:
  • Body surface area (BSA) ≥ 10 % at screening and baseline
  • Or, PASI >10 at screening and baseline
  • Or, PGA of Psoriasis status of moderate or worse (moderate, marked, or severe) at screening and baseline
  • Or, DLQI > 10 at baseline
  • Active fingernail psoriasis defined as target fingernail NAPSI ≥ 2 and overall NAPSI > 14 - Target nail is defined as the nail with the highest nail score (matrix+bed scores) at baseline. Should more than one fingernail have the same score, the target fingernail will be chosen by the investigator.
  • Failure of at least one systemic psoriasis therapy for nail psoriasis
  • Eligible to receive biologic therapy for psoriasis in accordance to local guidelines

Exclusion Criteria

  • Evidence of Skin conditions other than psoriasis
  • Psoralen plus ultraviolet radiation (PUVA), cyclosporine, alefacept, methotrexate, acitretin, or any other systemic anti-psoriasis therapy within 28 days of study drug initiation
  • Prior exposure to any TNF-inhibitor. Prior exposure to efalizumab
