Speakers: Prof. Dr med. Khusru Asadullah and Dr Matteo Megna 11:15-12:00 CEST on Thursday the 26th of September in Amtrium 1, Hall 4, RAI Amsterdam Chronic Hand Eczema Breaking the Silent Conversation Speakers: Prof. Swen Malte John, Prof. April Armstrong, Dr Marie-Louise Schuttelaar 13:00-14:00 CEST on Friday the 27 th of September in Room 7.3, RAI Amsterdam. About Chronic Hand Eczema Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is defined as hand eczema (HE) that lasts for more than three months or relapses twice or more within a year. 29,30 CHE is one the most common skin disorder of the hands with a prevalence rate of approximately 4.7%. 31 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic condition. 32 CHE is a fluctuating disorder characterized by itch and pain, and patients may experience signs such as erythema, scaling, lichenification, hyperkeratosis, vesicles, edema, and fissures on hands and wrists. 33 CHE has been shown to cause psychological and functional burdens that impact patient quality of life, 34 with approximately 70% of individuals who live with severe CHE admitting to problems in performing everyday activities, and suffering disruption in their daily life due to the condition. 35 Furthermore, careers and earning potential have also been shown to be impacted by the burden of living with CHE. 36 About Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions. 37 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation. 38 Type 2 cytokines, including IL-13, play an important role in the key aspects of atopic dermatitis pathophysiology. 37,38 Excessive IL-22 production is also known to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. 39 About Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the skin in 125 million people worldwide. 40,41 Psoriasis is the result of skin barrier cell proliferation and the activation of cytokines (a family of proteins involved in immune responses) that cause inflammation. 42 About 80% to 90% of patients are affected by plaque psoriasis, the most common clinical form of psoriasis. 43 The symptoms of plaque psoriasis are itchy or painful raised scaly and inflamed plaques. Plaques may appear anywhere on the body, but often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows and torso. 43 About Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream 20 mg/g is a topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for the treatment of moderate to severe CHE. It inhibits the activation of JAK-STAT signaling, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of CHE. 44 The pathophysiology is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation of the skin, and alterations of the skin microbiome. 45 Anzupgo is currently approved in the European Union for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults for whom topical corticosteroids are inadequate or inappropriate. In 2014, LEO Pharma A/S and Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) entered into a license agreement in which LEO Pharma gained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize delgocitinib cream for topical use in dermatological indications worldwide, excluding Japan, where JT retains rights. About Adtralza ® (tralokinumab) / Adbry ® (tralokinumab-ldrm) Adtralza ® (tralokinumab), which is marketed under the tradename Adbry ® in the U.S., is a high-affinity fully human monoclonal antibody developed to bind to and inhibit the interleukin IL-13 cytokine, which plays a role in the immune and inflammatory processes underlying atopic dermatitis signs and symptoms. 38,46 Adtralza ® specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby inhibiting interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). 47 Adtralza ® is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe AD in adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older in the European Union, Canada, Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea. Adtralza ® is approved for use in adults with moderate to severe AD in the U.S., Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. About Kyntheum ® (brodalumab) Kyntheum ® (brodalumab) is a recombinant fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin IgG2 antibody that binds with high affinity to human IL-17RA and blocks the biological activities of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17A/F heterodimer, IL-17C and IL-17E (also known as IL-25), resulting in inhibition of the inflammation and clinical symptoms associated with psoriasis. IL-17RA is a protein expressed on the cell surface and is a required component of receptor complexes utilized by multiple IL-17 family cytokines. IL-17 family cytokine levels have been reported to be increased in psoriasis. IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17A/F heterodimer have pleiotropic activities including the induction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, GROα, and G-CSF from epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts that promote tissue inflammation. IL-17C has been shown to induce similar responses as IL-17A and IL-17F in keratinocytes. Blocking IL-17RA inhibits IL-17 cytokine-induced responses resulting in normalization of inflammation in the skin. 48 Kyntheum ® is indicated in the European Union, Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy. About temtokibart Temtokibart (LEO 138559) is an investigational monoclonal antibody that targets the IL-22RA1 receptor subunit, currently in Phase 2 development for the potential treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. 49 It blocks the IL-22RA1 subunit and thereby inhibits the effects of the IL-22 cytokine, and potentially also to some extent the effects of IL-20 and IL-24. 49 Temtokibart does not bind to the IL-22 cytokine itself. 49 LEO Pharma has obtained a worldwide exclusive license to develop and commercialize temtokibart from argenx.

Roflumilast foam - an alternative formulation of topical roflumilast designed to overcome the challenges of delivering topical drugs in hair-bearing areas of the body, being developed as a potential treatment for seborrheic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis.

Recent Corporate Highlights Second Quarter 2021 Summary Financial Results Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities were $410.9 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $286.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Arcutis believes that its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations well into 2023. Research and development (R&D) expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were $30.8 million compared to $30.0 million for the corresponding period in 2020. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $52.4 million compared to $55.2 million for the corresponding period in 2020. The year-over-year increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased clinical costs for the Phase 3 studies of topical roflumilast in atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis and the Phase 2 study of ARQ-252 in vitiligo, mostly offset by completion of the Phase 3 studies of roflumilast cream in plaque psoriasis and Phase 2 studies of roflumilast foam in seborrheic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis. The year-over-year decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the completion of the Phase 3 studies of roflumilast cream in plaque psoriasis and Phase 2 studies of roflumilast foam in seborrheic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis, offset partially by increased clinical costs for the Phase 3 studies of topical roflumilast in atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis, and the Phase 2 study of ARQ-252 in vitiligo. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were $11.3 million compared to $5.6 million for the corresponding period in 2020. G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $25.8 million compared to $9.1 million for the corresponding period in 2020. These year-over-year increases were primarily due to higher headcount and professional services costs. First half 2021 G&A expenses were also impacted by a one-time $5.3 million non-cash charge for modifications to previously granted stock awards in connection with an officer's retirement. Net loss was $42.0 million, or $0.84 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $35.4 million, or $0.94 per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2020. Net loss was $78.1 million, or $1.60 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $63.4 million, or $2.05 per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2020.
