Experience Diagnosing, Understanding Care, and Treatment With Etanercept (EDUCATE) is a multicenter, phase 4, 24-week, open-label study of the safety and efficacy of etanercept therapy in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in routine dermatologic practice. We present data on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from EDUCATE, which demonstrate that subjects with PsA achieved clinically meaningful improvements in both skin- and joint-related PROs after 24 weeks of treatment.
