May 13, 2013 updated by: Amgen

A Phase 3 Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Etanercept 50 mg Twice Weekly in Psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly compared to placebo over 12 weeks on the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) in subjects with psoriasis. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly; determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly on patient reported outcomes (PRO); and characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly.
