Exclusion criteria

Active guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular psoriasis at the time of the screening visit.
Evidence of skin conditions (eg, eczema) at the time of the screening visit or between the screening visit and study drug initiation that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of investigational product on psoriasis.
Clinically significant adverse event, infection, or laboratory toxicity, at the time of the screening visit or between the screening visit and study drug initiation that in the opinion of Amgen or the Investigator would preclude participation in the study.
Clinically significant infection less than or equal to 30 days before the screening visit that in the opinion of Amgen or the Investigator would preclude participation in the study.
Known positive tuberculin skin test (if not treated with appropriate chemoprophylaxis) or recent (within 6 months) exposure to a patient with active tuberculosis.
Any other known infectious process that would, in the investigator's discretion, interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study.
Significant concurrent medical conditions at the time of screening, including:
Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as screening systolic blood pressure measurement of greater than 160 mm Hg or a screening diastolic blood pressure of greater than 100 mm Hg) confirmed by 2 separate measurements during the screening visit
Myocardial infarction less than or equal to 52 weeks before the screening visit
Unstable angina pectoris
Congestive heart failure
Steroid or oxygen dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or any other demyelinating disease
Inadequately controlled diabetes mellitus, defined by glycohemoglobin greater than 7.0 at screening
History of cancer (other than resected and surgically cured cervical cancer, cutaneous basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma) less than or equal to 5 years before the administration of first dose of investigational product
Open cutaneous ulcers
Any condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, might cause this study to be detrimental to the subject.
Any evidence during screening of cutaneous basal or squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma.

History of alcohol or drug abuse that would interfere with the ability to comply with the study protocol.
Previous receipt of etanercept or any other anti-TNF agent(s), alefacept, efalizumab, or other investigational biologic agent for psoriasis.
Receipt of any investigational product(s) less than or equal to 30 days before the first dose of investigational product in this study.
PUVA therapy less than or equal to 30 days before the first dose of investigational product.
UVA therapy less than or equal to 14 days before the first dose of investigational product.
UVB therapy less than or equal to 30 days before the first dose of investigational product.
Receipt of any other systemic psoriasis therapy or oral or parenteral corticosteroids less than or equal to 14 days before the first dose of investigational product.
Topical steroids, topical vitamin A or D analog preparations or anthralin less than or equal to 14 days before the first dose of investigational product (exception - topical steroids at no higher than moderate strength, according to the package insert, are permitted on the scalp, axillae, and groin).
Topical cyclosporin or calcineurin inhibitors such as pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic) less than or equal to 14 days before the first dose of investigational product.
