摘要
Efalizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. We present six cases of favorable response to efalizumab therapy in patients with psoriasis who demonstrated inadequate response or who were nonresponders to treatment with etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor-α-binding fusion protein. The subsequent response of these patients suggests that efalizumab may be a viable treatment option for patients with psoriasis who respond poorly to etanercept.
