- Subjects who are receiving 40 mg ADA once weekly must be on ADA 40 mg eow for 8 weeks prior to screening;
- Subjects with at least a 6 month history of chronic plaque psoriasis;

- Subject is known to have immune deficiency, history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or is immunocompromised;
- Subject currently uses or plans to use anti-retroviral therapy at any time during the study;
- Female subject who is pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant during the study or for 150 days after the last dose of study medication;
- Subject has a history of clinically significant drug or alcohol usage in the last year or cannot maintain an alcohol intake of 30 g a day or less throughout the study (one standard drink is defined as 180 mL/6 oz (approx. 10 g) of wine, 360 mL/12 oz (approx. 15 g) of regular beer, or 45 mL/1.5 oz (approx. 10 g) of spirits;
- Screening clinical laboratory analyses show any of the following abnormal laboratory results:
- Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) \> 2x the upper limit of normal (ULN);
- Serum total bilirubin \> 1.5 mg/dL (\> 26 micromol/L), except for subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome;
- Creatinine \> 1.5 mg/dL (133 micromol/L) in subjects ≤ 65 years old and \> upper limit of normal range in subjects \> 65;
- Positive Hepatitis B or C serology indicative of previous or current infection.
- Subject is considered by the Investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study;
- The following treatments are prohibited for all subjects during the study:
- Phototherapy (ultraviolet A with psoralen \[PUVA\] within 4 weeks of the Baseline Visit and/or ultraviolet B (UVB) within 2 weeks of the Baseline Visit);
- Other biologic therapies (including any other anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\]) within 4 weeks of the Baseline Visit;
- Any investigational agents of chemical or biologic nature within a minimum of 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the drug prior to the Baseline visit ;
