Abstract

Biological therapy for moderate to severe psoriasis includes tumour necrosis factor (TNF) blockers (infliximab, etanercept and adalimumab) and T-cell-targeting agents (efalizumab, alefacept) that act in different steps of a common pathogenic pathway. Large amounts of data coming from clinical trials indicate each of these drugs as highly effective and safe. However, little is known about the efficacy of a second biological therapy after the failure of the first.
