A Significant Unmet Medical Need Exists
• Psoriasis is a chronic life-long disease with QOL impact similar to other major diseases(arthritis, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease)
• Common physical symptoms of chronic psoriasis include skin pain, itching, and bleeding; these physical symptoms impair quality of life
• Topical medications are insufficient to treat moderate to severe disease
• Currently approved therapies for moderate to severe disease are effective, but have significant safety limitations and accessibility issues

– 59% of patients achieve PASI-50 (12 weeks)
• Extended treatment improves response at 24 weeks
– 44% of patients achieve PASI-75 (24 weeks)
– 66% of patients achieve PASI-50 (24 weeks)

• Infrequent cases of reversible thrombocytopenia
• No evidence of renal or hepatic dysfunction

Raptiva is Safe and Effective
• Meaningful clinical benefit has been demonstrated in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis
• Ongoing therapy with Raptiva provides extended benefit, with no increase in adverse events as exposure is prolonged
• Frequency of psoriasis adverse events is mitigated by:
– Continued therapy in responders
– Limiting dose to 1 mg/kg
– Transition in non-responders (12 weeks)

Benefit:Risk Conclusions
• Based on the robust efficacy and reasonable safety, Raptiva should be available as a therapeutic option for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
• Post approval surveillance will further clarify the long term safety of Raptiva
