Galderma’s Nemluvio

Galderma’s Nemluvio® (Nemolizumab) Granted Marketing Authorization in the United Kingdom and Switzerland for Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis and Prurigo Nodularis

  • These are the first approvals      of nemolizumab from countries within the Access Consortium framework, with      regulatory review processes ongoing in the remaining countries – Australia      and Singapore

  • Nemolizumab, which is also      approved in the EU and U.S., is the first approved monoclonal antibody      that specifically targets IL-31 receptor alpha, inhibiting the signaling      of IL-31 – a neuroimmune cytokine that drives itch and other symptoms in      both moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis1-6

ZUG, Switzerland -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Galderma today announced that the United Kingdom (UK) Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and Swissmedic have granted the marketing authorization of nemolizumab for the treatment of both atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis in the UK and Switzerland, respectively. Specifically, the approvals are for nemolizumab’s subcutaneous use for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in combination with topical corticosteroids and/or calcineurin inhibitors in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older with a body weight of at least 30kg, who are candidates for systemic therapy, and for subcutaneous use for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis who are candidates for systemic therapy.7,8

These are the first approvals from countries within the Access Consortium framework, an international collaborative initiative comprised of regulatory authorities which work together to address shared challenges. Decisions in the remaining countries within the Access Consortium, Australia and Singapore, are expected later this year. Nemolizumab is also approved in the European Union and United States for both moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis.5,6 Galderma’s leadership in Therapeutic Dermatology is evidenced by the recent regulatory approvals of nemolizumab, and its ongoing commitment to bringing this novel treatment to millions of patients around the world.

Atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis are debilitating skin conditions that affect up to 1.6 million and 18,000 people in the UK, respectively, and 450,000 people altogether in Switzerland.9-14 There is a need for new treatment options for these diseases to effectively relieve the signs and symptoms such as persistent itch, skin lesions and poor sleep quality.1,2,15-17 Itch is one of the most burdensome symptoms of both conditions, with 87% of patients with atopic dermatitis saying that they are seeking freedom from itch, and 88% of patients with prurigo nodularis rating itch as their worst symptom.18,19

 

“These approvals offer patients with moderate-to-severe   atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis a much-needed novel treatment option,   given the potential burden and negative impact on quality of life associated   with these conditions. I am looking forward to offering my patients this new   treatment option which has the potential to address their most troublesome   symptoms.”

Nemolizumab is the first approved monoclonal antibody that specifically targets IL-31 receptor alpha, inhibiting the signaling of IL-31.3 IL-31 is a neuroimmune cytokine that drives itch and is involved in inflammation and skin barrier dysfunction in both atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis, and in fibrosis in prurigo nodularis.1-4

This approval is based on robust results from the phase III ARCADIA and OLYMPIA clinical trial programs, which demonstrated that nemolizumab clinically improved skin lesions, itch, and sleep disturbance in atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis, respectively.20-22 Nemolizumab was well tolerated in both clinical trial programs, and its safety profile was generally consistent with earlier data, and between trials.3,20-22

 

“Nemolizumab’s continued regulatory success underscores   Galderma’s strong leadership in Therapeutic Dermatology, and our commitment   to bringing innovative treatments to the patients. Its approval in the UK and   Switzerland was driven yet again by robust data from the ARCADIA and OLYMPIA   clinical trial programs, which show that nemolizumab has the potential to   improve some of the most debilitating symptoms of both moderate-to-severe   atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis.”
