Group Intervention Description Etanercept Etanercept Participants received etanercept 0.8 mg/kg (up to a maximum dose of 50 mg) once weekly by subcutaneous injection for up to 264 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Adverse Events 264 Weeks A serious adverse events is any AE that
* is fatal
* is life threatening
* requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
* results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
* is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
* other significant medical hazard. The severity assessment for adverse events and infections (except injection site reactions) was done using the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Version 2.0, where Grade 3 indicates a severe toxicity (incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity).
An infectious event is an event that was considered by the investigator to be an infectious episode. An injection site reaction is a reaction at the site of the subcutaneous injection, commonly characterized, but not limited to symptoms of erythema (redness, usually raised), pruritis (itching), swelling, or pain that is persistent for 4 hours or longer.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs 264 weeks Exposure-adjusted Adverse Event Rates 264 weeks The exposure adjusted event rate for a given event in a given time period is defined as the number of events reported in the given time period divided by total patient-years on investigational product during the period.
Exposure-adjusted event rate per 100 patient years = total number of events / patient years \* 100.
Multiple occurrences of the same event for a participant were counted as multiple events.Number of Participants With Grade 3 and 4 Laboratory Toxicities 264 weeks The severity assessment for adverse events and infections (not including injection site reaction) used the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Version 2.0, where Grade 1= Mild - aware of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated; Grade 2= Moderate - discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity; Grade 3 = Severe - incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity; Grade 4= Life-threatening - refers to an event in which the patient was, in the view of the investigator, at risk of immediate death at the time of event; Grade 5 = Fatal.
Number of Participants With Injection Site Reactions 264 weeks An injection site reaction is a reaction at the site of the subcutaneous injection, commonly characterized, but not limited to symptoms of erythema (redness, usually raised), pruritis (itching), swelling, or pain that is persistent for 4 hours or longer.
Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 50 Response (PASI 50) Baseline and weeks 12, 48, 96, 144, 192, 240 and 264 A PASI 50 response is a 50% or greater improvement (reduction) from baseline in PASI score.
The PASI measures the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale) of psoriasis lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities). PASI scores can range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores indicating greater severity and/or more extensive psoriasis.Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-etanercept Antibodies 264 weeks Binding antibodies to etanercept were detected using an anti-etanercept immunoassay. The positive samples in the immunoassay were further analyzed for the presence of neutralizing antibodies using a bioassay.
Participants who developed anti-etanercept antibodies are those who were antibody positive post-baseline with a negative or no result at baseline.Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) Weeks 12, 48, 96, 144, 192, 240 and 264 The sPGA is a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe) used to measure the severity of disease (induration, scaling, and erythema). A sPGA response is defined as a sPGA value of clear (score 0) or almost clear (score 1).

The CDLQI has 10 items assessing health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with skin disease each measured on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (Very much). The CDLQI Leisure Score includes 3 questions and ranges from 0 to 9, with lower scores indicating better quality of life.

The PASI measures the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale) of psoriasis lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities). PASI scores can range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores indicating greater severity and/or more extensive psoriasis.Percent Improvement From Study 20030211 Baseline in PASI Score Study 20030211 baseline, Study 20050111 baseline and weeks 12, 48, 96, 144, 192, 240 and 264 The PASI measures the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale) of psoriasis lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities).
