Brief Summary: Psoriasis vulgaris is associated with significant comorbidity including depression increased risk of cardiovascular events diminished quality of life as well as overall increased mortality

Moreover concomitant psoriatic arthritis is present in up to 40 of psoriasis patients or will develop in the future

To enhance quality of life and potentially lower the risk of concomitant disease in psoriasis patients effective treatment of this immune-mediated systemic inflammatory disease is required
Detailed Description: Psoriasis vulgaris is associated with significant comorbidity including depression increased risk of cardiovascular events diminished quality of life as well as overall increased mortality

The cytokine tumor necrosis factor TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis TWEAK in cooperation with its sole receptor Fn14 is involved in miscellaneous biological and pathological processes

The main role of TWEAK is in the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines The upregulation of TWEAK and Fn14 occurs in many human skin disorders including cutaneous lupus erythematosus bullous pemphigoid and dermatomyositis There is a lack of studies examining the role of TWEAK in patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis

The introduction of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors anti-TNF agents has significantly improved outcomes among patients with PsA but a proportion of patients have an inadequate response or poor tolerability to these agents

Adalimumab treatment continuation in routine clinical practice may lead to benefits for remission and low disease activity among patients with psoriasis psoriatic arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis who did not achieve their treatment goals at 12 weeks according to recent findings

Methotrexate MTXwas approved for the treatment of psoriasis by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA At present the drug is indicated for the treatment of practically all forms of moderate or severe psoriasis including psoriatic arthritis
