Treatment
Psoriasis that develops on the hands or feet is often very difficult to treat. However, an advanced clinical trial showed that a medication called efalizumab (Raptiva) effectively cleared or nearly cleared moderate-to-severe symptoms in adults after 12 weeks.
Several studies have shown that most people with severe psoriasis who are treated with infliximab (Remicade) have significant improvement in symptoms by week 10.

Search Continues for the "Male Pill"
Research is progressing on a male contraceptive, but there have also been setbacks. The drug miglustat (Zavesca), which is used to treat a rare condition called Gaucher's disease, had shown success in animal studies but failed to work in a clinical trial, according to results published in 2007 in Human Reproduction. Researchers are now investigating an experimental drug, Adjudin (AF-2364), which disrupts sperm production.
