Brief summary
To evaluate the safety profile, the effectiveness and the economic impact of adalimumab when used for the treatment of subjects with active plaque psoriasis who have not adequately responded to prior psoriasis therapy.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALHumira (adalimumab)
Study drug will be provided as a sterile, preservative-free solution for subcutaneous injection, contained in a pre-filled syringe housed in a pen device (pre-filled pen). Loading dose of 80 mg of adalimumab subcutaneously (sc) at Baseline, and 40 mg of adalimumab sc at Week 1, followed by 40 mg of adalimumab sc every other week (eow) for 24 weeks.
