Summary

There is clearly a need for further data on the efficacy of biologic agents in the treatment of nail and scalp psoriasis, especially in the routine clinical setting. A few case reports can be found, but no published data exists from non-interventional studies, such as post-marketing observational studies (PMOS) that reflect routine clinical practice. The aim of this PMOS is to evaluate the long-term (12-month) efficacy of adalimumab in the treatment of nail and scalp psoriatic lesions in routine dermatologic practice.

  • Adult (≥18 years of age)
  • Have negative result of tuberculosis (TB) screening test or TB prophylaxis as per local guidelines
  • Willing to provide informed consent if requested by the local law regulations
