Abstract

As the pathogenesis of psoriasis is better understood, specific targeted therapies are being developed. In addition to alefacept, etanercept, efaluzimab, and infliximab, discussed in separate articles in this issue, numerous other investigational therapies are currently in clinical trials, some of which will likely be approved in the future. We review the most promising of these therapies and their mechanisms of action.
