E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of two different treatment regimens of etanercept in treating the skin manifestations of psoriasis subjects with PsA over 12 weeks. The study hypothesis is that etanercept 50 mg BIW will demonstrate superior clinical efficacy, as determined by the proportion of subjects achieving a Physician Global Assessment PGA of Psoriasis of clear or almost clear at 12 weeks, compared with etanercept 50 mg QW. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.To compare the efficacy of two different treatment regimens of etanercept in treating the skin manifestations over 24 weeks2. To compare the efficacy of two different treatment regimens of etanercept on joint disease over 12 and 24 weeks3. To compare the impact of two different treatment regimens of etanercept on quality of life and pharmacoeconomic outcomes over 12 and 24 weeks4. To evaluate the time course of treatment response to two different treatment regimens of etanercept5. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of two different treatment regimens of etanercept |
