The drugs Raptiva and Enbrel represent a new way of treating a skin disease called psoriasis. Both drugs affect the immune system because psoriasis is a type of autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body. They may be effective in treating patients with severe psoriasis, according to two studies published in 2003.
