Efficacy in Psoriatic Arthritis

ENBREL can help reduce the signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. It can also keep joint damage from getting worse. In a medical study, many psoriatic arthritis patients had3,4:

  • Less pain, swelling, and time feeling stiff in the morning
  • Clearer skin, with fewer skin symptoms

In a clinical study, ENBREL was shown to be effective in about 50% of psoriatic arthritis patients who used it at 6 months. Clinical responses were apparent at the time of the first visit (4 weeks) and were maintained through 6 months of therapy.4

ENBREL is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients ages 2 and older.

ENBREL is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting the progression of structural damage of active arthritis, and improving physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis.

Supportive data

Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis
In medical studies, nearly half of patients saw 75% skin clearance in their moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in 3 months with ENBREL. Overall, 3 out of 4 patients saw 50% skin clearance in 3 months. ENBREL can work fast; many patients saw improvement within 2 months. Your results may vary.

Psoriatic Arthritis
In a medical study, ENBREL was shown to be effective in about 50% of psoriatic arthritis patients who used it at 6 months. Clinical responses were apparent at the time of the first visit (4 weeks) and were maintained through 6 months of therapy.

Skin symptoms may precede joint symptoms by about 10 years in patients with psoriatic arthritis.1,2
