Loss of satisfactory response is defined as patients treated with adalimumab 40 mg EOW for at least 12 weeks, who achieved a PGA of clear or almost clear (PGA of 0 or 1) but lost this PGA response (increase in PGA to 2, 3, 4 or 5) at any time after 12 weeks of adalimumab; OR
- Patient has plaque psoriasis and has lost his/her satisfactory response to infliximab. Loss of satisfactory response is defined as patients treated with at least 3 infliximab infusions at 5 mg/kg, who achieved a PGA of clear or almost clear (PGA of 0 or 1) but lost this PGA response (increase in PGA to 2, 3, 4 or 5) at any time after the 3rd infusion of infliximab;
- Patient's age is 18 to 80 years old;

- Patient has presence of erythrodermic, pustular or guttate psoriasis;
- Patient has had significant infections within the 30 days prior to Day 0;
- Patient has received investigational drugs within the four weeks prior to screening or during the study period;
