Participant milestones
Measure	Efalizumab Conversion The study drug Efalizumab will be given as part of a triple drug regimen including mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone. A test dose of Efalizumab 0.7mg/kg will be given at the enrollment visit. Beginning with study visit 2, Efalizumab 1mg/kg will be administered subcutaneously by injection on a weekly basis for 1 year. Mycophenolate mofetil will be given at a dose of 2gm/day which is the same as the standard of care dose. If patient experiences drug toxicity with mycophenolate mofetil they may be reduced and resume a minimum of at least 1gram daily to continue in the study. Patients will be maintained at 10mg of prednisone daily, same as standard of care. efalizumab : Administration of a test dose of efalizumab 0.7mg/kg will be administered at enrollment. Weekly subcutaneous injections of efalizumab 1mg/kg will begin with study visit 2 and continue for 1 year for this pilot study.
