Larry, I have never heard of a company giving a drug for free for life just for being in a trial. For now, there is no cure for moderate to severe psoriasis. Raptiva as you know is THE ONLY biological approved for CHRONIC CONTINUOUS USE. The 75 soldiers set out by DNA will probably be pounding away at the fact that Raptiva has been in testing for YEARS around 3000 treated as a DERMATOLOGICAL biologic for moderate to severe psoriasis. Now just how long and how many patients were in the Enbrel for moderate to severe psoriasis trial????LOL Which one will Patients and DERMATOLOGICAL physicians choose???? Remember Dermatologists DON'T treat rheumatoid arthritis. DERMATOLOGISTS don't give a HOOT about Enbrel history with rheumatoid arthritis. They want a SAFE and EFFECTIVE med with LONG moderate to severe PSORIASIS trial history. THE LARGEST trial of ANY biologic for moderate to severe Psoriasis. NEJM FAILS to mentions the trial in which Raptiva had around 67 percent PASI 75 LONG TERM. Here is the link>>>>>>>>http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/237952.htm
