Long-Term Efficacy of Etanercept for Plaque-Type Psoriasis and Estimated Cost in Daily Clinical Practice

We provide data on long-term response to etanercept and its costs in a real-world setting. Response rates were higher than in some clinical trials, with progressive efficacy and not related to body mass index. Etanercept cost was comparable with that estimated in other studies. Combination with a conventional systemic agent can enhance efficacy without additional adverse events.
