The primary hypothesis of this trial is that the addition of short courses of clobetasol propionate foam to etanercept monotherapy in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will yield greater efficacy compared with etanercept monotherapy, as measured by PASI 75 at Week 12.

PASI 75 at Week 12
The percentage of participants with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Indexs (PASI) 75 responses at week 12. PASI is an assessment of psoriasis based on severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation as well as area of involvement. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher score represents the worse symptom severity. A response was considered a 75% reduction in the PASI score from Baseline.
Time frame: Week 12
sPGA (0,1) at Week 12
The percentage of participants achieving sPGA 0 or 1 at week 12. Static physician global assessment of psoriasis (sPGA) is a physician's global assessment of the participant's psoriasis based on severity of induration, scaling, and erythema. The sPGA of psoriasis comprises a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 with increasing severity.
Time frame: Week 12
PASI 90 at Week 12
The percentage of participants with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Indexs (PASI) 90 responses at week 12. PASI is an assessment of psoriasis based on severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation as well as area of involvement. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher score represents the worse symptom severity. A response was considered a 90% reduction in the PASI score from Baseline.
Time frame: Week 12
Patient Satisfaction at Week 12
Patient assessment of treatment satisfaction status at week 12. It is a measure of a participant's level of satisfaction with the medication's control of psoriasis, ranging from "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied."
Time frame: Week 12
Percent PASI Improvement From Baseline at Week 12
The percentage of the improvement in PASI score at week 12 from baseline. PASI is an assessment of psoriasis based on severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation as well as area of involvement. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher score represents the worse symptom severity.

PASI 75 at Week 24
The percentage of participants with the Psoriasis Area and Severity Indexs (PASI) 75 responses at week 24. PASI is an assessment of psoriasis based on severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation as well as area of involvement. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher score represents the worse symptom severity. A response was considered a 75% reduction in the PASI score from Baseline.

sPGA (0,1) at Week 24
The percentage of participants achieving sPGA 0 or 1 at week 24. Static physician global assessment of psoriasis (sPGA) is a physician's global assessment of the participant's psoriasis based on severity of induration, scaling, and erythema.
