This study proposes to compare 2 different methods for managing a subject with psoriasis who has achieved good disease control, as defined by a clinical response with a Physician Global Assessment (PGA) inferior or equal to 1 at the screening visit, on etanercept treatment.

The first method involves stopping etanercept treatment on entry into the study, with the option to reinitiate etanercept at 50 mg once weekly after medical review and agreement between the subject and the investigator. The second method involves continuing on etanercept at 25 mg once weekly, with the option to increase the dose to 50 mg once weekly after medical review and agreement between the subject and the investigator. Subjects will be randomized into one of these two study arms.

Official title: Randomized Open-label Study Comparing 2 Different Strategies For Management of Subjects With Plaque Psoriasis Who Have Responded to Etanercept Treatment

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: The primary efficacy endpoint is the average 52-week Physician Global Assessment (PGA) measured as the time normalized area under curve.

Secondary outcome:

Time-normalized area under the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) versus time curve.

Patient satisfaction with Psoriasis treatment at baseline, before retreatment with etanercept 50 mg weekly, and at the end of retreatment

Mean Physician Global Assessment (PGA) at week 52

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of consent.

- Previously treated with etanercept for chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 12 weeks

prior to the screening visit and received a total weekly dose of 50 mg per week for at least the 6 weeks preceding the day of the screening visit

- Having shown clinical response with a PGA inferior or equal to 1 at the screening

visit.

- PGA inferior or equal to 1 at the baseline visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Evidence of skin conditions (eg, eczema) other than psoriasis that would interfere

with evaluations of the effect of study medication on psoriasis.

- Evidence of active or previously known medical history of inflammatory arthritis (eg,

rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis).

- Any biologics other than etanercept within the 20 weeks prior to the screening visit.
