Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if Alefacept is effective in the treatment of palmar plantar pustulosis
Detailed Description:
Palmar plantar pustulosis is a chronic disabling skin condition which is difficult to treat since it is often recalcitrant to current treatments and associated with high recurrence rates This condition appears to be a T lymphocyte mediated condition and is thought by some to be a subtype of psoriasis Alefacept affects T cell activation and induces apoptosis of memory T cells It has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris and may be associated with prolonged remissions There is extremely limited experience with use of Alefacept in Palmar Plantar Pustulosis This pilot trial should provide additional information concerning its use for this indication
