We are currently enrolling patients for a clinical reasearch study using the medication Enbrel (etanercept) for psoriasis.
  Patients involved in the study will be treated with Enbrel for up to 24 weeks and administer the medication at home. (Medication during the study is free for patients).
 


Enbrel has been used clinically for over 5 years and is currently FDA approved for psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.

To be included in the study, you must satisfy the following criteria:
1. 18 years of age or older
2. Have psoriasis involving greater than or equal to 10% of your body
3. Are not pregnant (women)
4. No history of insulin dependent diabetes, congestive heart failure, heart attack, severe angina pectoris, uncontrolled hypertension, severe pulmonary disease requiring oxygen therapy, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosis, HIV, or tuberculosis
