The efficacy and safety of etanercept when used with as-needed adjunctive topical therapy in a randomised, double-blind study in subjects with moderate-to-severe psoriasis (the PRISTINE trial)

Abstract

Both etanercept regimens were efficacious in moderate-to-severe psoriasis, although the BIW/QW regimen consistently provided higher response rates than the QW/QW regimen. More potent topical medications were used electively in <25% of subjects in each group.
