Title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Vehicle-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Adalimumab in Combination With Topical Treatment (Calcipotriol/Betamethasone) in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis and Insufficient Response to Classic Systemic Treatment (BELIEVE)
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in combination with topical psoriasis treatment, calcipotriol/betamethasone, vs. adalimumab in combination with matching vehicle in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with psoriasis
* Age and sex matched patients with CAD, with untreated hypertension and healthy subjects

Exclusion Criteria:

* for psoriasis patients were presence of wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction ≤ 50%, psoriatic arthritis, history of acute coronary syndrome, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumors. CAD was excluded in psoriasis patients by absence of clinical history, angina and reversible myocardial ischemia, as assessed by dobutamine stress echocardiography or thallium scintigraphy
* regarding the group of CAD patients, we only included patients without history of ST elevation myocardial infarction in order to exclude the presence of transmural scar compromising myocardial function indices. Thus, CAD patients with wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction of ≤ 50% were excluded. In addition, exclusion criteria, were history of acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation within the last year, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumor
* in normal controls, CAD was excluded by the presence of normal ECG, absence of clinical history and absence of reversible ischemia by means of treadmill test or dobutamine stress echocardiography
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Active, moderate to severe psoriasis defined by the following criteria: Clinically stable, plaque psoriasis involving more than 10% body surface area (BSA) or PASI 10.
* In the opinion of the investigator, failure, intolerance, contraindication or not a candidate for the following: Methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine, and psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation (PUVA) therapy.
* Negative urine pregnancy test before the first dose of study drug in all female patients

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of skin conditions (e.g., eczema) other than psoriasis that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of study medication on psoriasis.
* Any rheumatologic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematous, systemic vasculitis, scleroderma and polymyositis, or associated syndromes.
* Prior exposure to TNF inhibitors including ETN. Prior exposure to efalizumab (Raptiva®) and alefacept (Amevive®) is also prohibited.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject is \>= 18 years of age
* Subject had a clinical diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months, and has moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
* Subject must have been treated and failed to respond to, or has a contraindication to, or is intolerant to at least two different systemic therapies, one of which must be cyclosporine, or methotrexate or oral PUVA
* Subject is judged to be in generally good health as determined by the principal investigator

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject has previous exposure to adalimumab
* Subject cannot discontinue systemic therapies and/or topical therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and cannot avoid UVB or PUVA phototherapy
* Subject is taking or requires oral or injectible corticosteroids
* Subject diagnosed with erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or medication-exacerbated psoriasis or new onset guttate psoriasis
* Subject considered by the investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate
* Female subject who is pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant
* Subject has a calcium metabolism disorder
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult with Diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis of the Hands and Feet for at least 6 months, with a PGA \>/=3 and candidates for systemic therapy;
* Patients in good general health
* Able to self-administer injections
* Negative chest x-ray (CXR) and purified protein derivative (PPD) test, unless willing to start anti-tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous treatment with HUMIRA®
* Required mediation stability or washouts for: systemic corticosteroids (28 days), other investigational agent, other systemic therapies for psoriasis, ultraviolet B (UVB), psoralen with UVA (PUVA)
* Other active skin diseases or skin infections
* Diagnosis of palmoplantar pustulosis; erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or exacerbated psoriasis or new onset of guttate psoriasis
* Evidence of dysplasia or history of malignancy (Other than a successfully treated non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell, basal cell carcinoma or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix);
* History of listeriosis, histoplasmosis, chronic or active Hepatitis B infection, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, immunodeficiency syndrome, chronic recurring infections or active tuberculosis (TB);
* History of moderate to severe congestive heart failure,
* Recent cerebrovascular accident and any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the subject at risk;
* History of central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease or neurologic symptoms suggestive of CNS demyelinating disease;
* History of clinically significant drug or alcohol abuse in the last 12 months;
* Infection(s) requiring treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics, IV antivirals, or IV antifungals within 30 days prior to Baseline or oral antibiotics, oral antivirals, or oral antifungals within 14 days prior to Baseline;
* Known hypersensitivity to the excipients of HUMIRA® as stated in the label;
* Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant during the study.
* Prior exposure to Tysabri® (natalizumab)
