OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 and then Week 28 after another 12 weeks on Humira plus vitamins and if early termination

Population: 8 adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Seven evaluated at weeks 0,16 and 28 for no change in electrocardiogram (EKG) , worsening arrhymia or improvement of arrhythmia at weeks 16 and 28. Five of 8 studied weeks 0,16 and 28; 1 at week 16 and 28. Two (one with the SAE prior to Week 16) did not have EKGs both at weeks 16 and 28.

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart by converting this activity into line tracings on paper.. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an EKG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out for the doctor's information and further interpretation. This test was to be administered to adults age 18 or older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients at week 0, 16 and week 28 of this study.

Blood pressure is the force the heart exerts against the walls of arteries as it pumps the blood out to the body. The unit of measurement is millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Pulse is the number of times your heart beats per minute. The unit of measurement is beats per minute (BPM). These test measurements compared in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis week 16 after 16 weeks adalimumab and week 28 after 16 weeks adalimumab plus 5 mg folic acid, 100 mg vitamin B6 and 1000 mcg vitamin B12.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 and Week 28

Population: 8 adults ages 18-65 with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Seven of 8 had weights taken weeks 0,4,16 and 28 allowing week16 and 28 analysis. One had weight taken only at weeks 0 and 4.

Weight is how heavy a participant is. Weight in pounds of each study adult participant age 18-65 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis measured at weeks 16 and compared to week 28 of study.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 and Week 28

Population: 8 adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis ages 18 to 65. Seven were analyzed. The one not analyzed had SAE prior to week16.

Baseline VEGF level at week zero related to PASI change Week 16 on adalimumab compared to Week 28 after additonal 12 weeks of adalimumab plus folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 in adult psoriasis patients ages 18-65 with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.High levels were greater than or equal to 140 pg/ml. Normal VEGF was below this level.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: Week 16 to Week 28

Population: 8 adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis ages 18-65. 4 were studied. Four were not because homocysteine levels at both Week16 nd 28 were not drawn(1 of the 4 had SAE prior to Week 16).

Change in EKG ( normalize, unchanged, became abnormal) when homocysteine (Hcy) increased or decreased from week 16 on adalimumab to week 28 on adalimumab plus folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 in adault psoriasis patients ages 18-65 with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
