Reducing signs and symptoms and inhibiting the progression of structural damage in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.Enbrel alone or in combination with methotrexate has been shown to reduce the rate of progression of joint damage as measured by X-ray and to improve physical function.* Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Treatment of active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children and adolescents from the age of 2 years who have had an inadequate response to or who have proved intolerant of methotrexate. Enbrel has not been studied in children aged less than 2 years.* Psoriatic arthritisTreatment of active and progressive psoriatic arthritis in adults when the response to previous disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy has been inadequate. Enbrel has been shown to improve physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to reduce the rate of progression of peripheral joint damage as measured by X ray in patients with polyarticular symmetrical subtypes of the disease.* Ankylosing spondylitisTreatment of adults with severe active ankylosing spondylitis who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy. * Plaque psoriasis Treatment of adults patients (18 years or older) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.* Paediatric plaque psoriasis Treatment of chronic severe plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents from the age of 6 years who are inadequately controlled by or are intolerant to other systemic therapies or phototherapies.* Juvenile idiopathic arthritisTreatment of polyarthritis (rheumatoid factor positive or negative) and extended oligoarthritis in children and adolescents from the age of 2 years who have had an inadequate response to or who have proved intolerant of methotrexate.
