prior to the screening visit, who are documented to have been on a total weekly
dose of 50mg per week for at least the 6 weeks preceding the day of the
screening visit and who have shown clinical response with a PGA inferior or equal
to 1 at the screening visit
3. Having shown clinical response with a PGA inferior or equal to 1 at the screening
visit
4. With a PGA inferior or equal to 1 at the baseline visit
5. Where the last injection of ETN was performed not more than 7 days before the
baseline visit
6. Able to store the injectable investigational product under refrigerated conditions
7. Able to self-inject investigational product or have a designee who can do so

In addition, all male subjects taking concomitant methotrexate who are biologically capable of
having children must agree and commit to the use of a reliable method of birth control for the duration of the study and for 6 months after the last dose of methotrexate.

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To describe the effect on subjects in whom psoriasis has responded to initial treatment with etanercept (ETN) of two different strategies for managing a good response or complete response (PGA= 1 or 0) over a 52 week period..
Secondary Objective: • To compare the efficacy of the 2 different strategies by reference to quality of life measure over the duration of the study
• To explore the time course of severity following treatment modification
• To explore the degree of subject satisfaction with the two different options for management following successful initial treatment
Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the average 52 week PGA (measured as the time-normalized area under curve)
