Implications: This study will expand the use of Enbrel in newer populations. this is important in that Humira just received approval for adults, and the market has become more competitive. This is good news for children with severe resistant psoriasis.

Analysis:  This will have a positive impact on sales of Enbrel as this is the only biologic studied in the pediatric age group. the impetus is now on the other companies like Abbott and Centocor to do the same.
