Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Efficacy will be assessed with 18-FluoroDeoxyGlucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) scan and carotid MRI at baseline, Week 16 and Week 52 (or Week 68 for patients randomized to placebo).
Safety will be assessed with physical examinations, vital signs, adverse events collection, routine laboratory examinations, pregnancy test, hepatitis B and C serology (screening), Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) or Quantiferon Gold (screening) and Chest X-Ray (CXR) (screening).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group Adalimumab
A total of 53 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis will randomized in the adalimumab group. At Day 0 patients will receive adalimumab. It will be administered sub-cutaneously as described in the Canadian product monograph (80mg followed by 40mg at Week 1 and 40mg every other week). At Week 16, all patients will received two injections of placebo. As of Week 17, patients randomized to the adalimumab group will receive 40 mg adalimumab every other week until Week 51.
Adalimumab
Injection of adalimumab (80 mg followed by 40 mg at week 1 and 40 mg EOW thereafter for 52 weeks). For Adalimibab group and Placebo group.
Placebo Group
A total of 53 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis will be randomized in the placebo group. At Day 0 these patients will receive the placebo. It will be administered sub-cutaneously as described in the Canadian product monograph of adalimumab. At Week 16, all these patients will received two injections of adalimumab. As of Week 17, patients randomized to the placebo group will receive 40 mg adalimumab every other week until Week 67.
Adalimumab
Injection of adalimumab (80 mg followed by 40 mg at week 1 and 40 mg EOW thereafter for 52 weeks). For Adalimibab group and Placebo group.
Placebo
Injection of placebo that is physicaly identical to adalimumab without the active ingredient at identical intervals.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
Patient is a candidate for systemic therapy. Patient is male or female, 18 to 80 years of age at time of consent. Patient's weight at screening is a maximum of 180 kg. Patient using medication to control angina, hypertension, serum lipids and any medication that can have an effect on inflammation must be on a stable dose for at least 8 weeks before Day 0.
Patient has an ascending aorta atherosclerotic plaque inflammation target-to-background ratio of 1.6 or more as determined by 18-FDG uptake measured by PET scanning.
Patient or patient's partner has been in a menopausal state for at least a year, is surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation or vasectomy), is clinically diagnosed infertile, has a same-sex partner, is abstinent, or is willing to use effective contraceptive method for at least 30 days before Day 0 and at least 6 months after the last study drug administration.

3. Intrauterine device (IUD); Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening visit.
Patient is judged to be in good general health as determined by the principal investigator based upon the results of medical history, laboratory profile, physical examination, and CXR performed at Screening.
Patient will be evaluated for latent TB infection with a PPD or a Quantiferon Gold test and CXR. Patient who demonstrates evidence of latent TB infection (either PPD more than or equal to 5 mm of induration or positive Quantiferon Gold, irrespective of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination status and negative CXR findings for active TB, and/or suspicious CXR findings) will not be allowed to participate in the study.

Patient currently uses or plans to use anti-retroviral therapy at any time during the study.
Patient is known to have immune deficiency or is immunocompromised. Female patient who is pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant during the study or for 6 months after the last dose of study medication.
