Amevive (Alefacept) is a prescription medication indicated for adults with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Amevive (Alefacept) is injected into the muscle (15mg IM) once a week under your doctor's supervision, for a total of 12 doses.

Amevive (Alefacept) primarily blocks the activation of an important type of immune system cell called T cells, which normally help us ward off foreign invaders and fight infection. In psoriasis, however, these T cells are mistakenly activated, and people have far too many of them in their skin. This triggers other immune responses that fuel the development of psoriasis lesions. By blocking T-cell activation and reducing the number of activated T cells in the body, Amevive (Alefacept) interrupts the cycle of psoriasis, leading to improvement in symptoms for many people who take it. Amevive (Alefacept) is prescribed for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for phototherapy or other systemic (oral or injected) treatments.

Do not take Amevive (Alefacept) if you have a history of malignancy or recurrent infections. Amevive (Alefacept) has not been approved for children and caution is advised for the elderly, due to the already increased risk of infection for this age group.

Is it not known if Amevive (Alefacept) will have an impact on pregnant women or developing fetuses, or if the medication Amevive (Alefacept) passes into breast milk in nursing women. Amevive (Alefacept) should only be given to pregnant or nursing women if there is a clear medical need, and if this decision is reached by a patient and doctor together.

Amevive (Alefacept) injections are given in a doctor’s office into the muscle. Patients receive one injection per week for 12 weeks. Additional 12-week cycles of Amevive (Alefacept) treatment may be given, depending on how patients respond the first time, but they must wait at least 12 weeks between cycles. More patients reached the 75 percent and 50 percent improvement targets after two cycles of treatment than after one, indicating there is a cumulative benefit of the medication for some people. Biogen, the medication’s manufacturer, is investigating the use of Amevive (Alefacept) for treating psoriatic arthritis.
