A catalog of Adbry tralokinumab-ldrm clinical and real-world data and investigational delgocitinib cream data is being presented across 10 posters at the 2024 Winter Clinical and Maui Derm Conferences.1-10 Investigational Delgocitinib cream data presentations include a pooled analysis of the DELTA 1 and DELTA 2 phase 3 clinical trials assessing health-related quality of life through the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in patients with moderate to severe CHE.1 One of the five Adbry presentations is a six-month interim analysis examining real-world patient-reported outcomes in adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD living in the U.S.6 MADISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LEO Pharma A/S, a global leader in medical dermatology, will present a catalog of investigational delgocitinib cream and Adbry® data across 10 posters at the upcoming Winter Clinical and Maui Derm conferences this month. The 2024 Winter Clinical Conference will take place Jan. 12-17 in Honolulu, Hawaii, while Maui Derm is being held from Jan. 22-26 in Maui, Hawaii. LEO Pharma is currently developing delgocitinib cream for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults. The safety and efficacy has not been evaluated by any health authority. Adbry is indicated for adult and pediatric patients (aged 12+ years) with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable.11 “We look forward to sharing such a large volume of data with the clinical community at the Winter Clinical and Maui Derm Conferences,” said Kreesten Meldgaard Madsen, LEO Pharma’s Chief Development Officer. “With these 10 presentations, we hope to demonstrate our leadership in the medical dermatology space and our continued commitment to patients with chronic hand eczema and atopic dermatitis." Five poster presentations on investigational delgocitinib cream will focus on data from the DELTA 1 and DELTA 2 phase 3 clinical trials.1-5 This includes a pooled analysis of the two trials evaluating the effect of delgocitinib cream on health-related quality of life versus cream vehicle, as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in patients with moderate to severe CHE.1 Five other posters will focus on Adbry data, covering both clinical and real-world results in adult (aged 18+ years) and pediatric (aged 12-17 years) patients.6-10 One poster examines a six-month interim analysis of a real-world study of adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD living in the U.S. The analysis includes patient-reported quality of life outcomes relating to itch, sleep, and treatment satisfaction when Adbry is used either in dupilumab-naïve or in dupilumab-experienced patients.6 The company’s full roster of accepted presentations at the 2024 Winter Clinical and Maui Derm Conferences is as follows: Investigational Delgocitinib Effect of delgocitinib cream 20 mg/g on Dermatology Life Quality Index in patients with moderate-to-severe Chronic Hand Eczema: pooled data from the DELTA 1 and DELTA 2 phase 3 trials.

Author: Andrew Blauvelt Poster Presentation Safety of tralokinumab for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in patients with up to 4.5 years of treatment: an updated integrated analysis of eight clinical trials. Author: Kristian Reich Poster presentation 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.12,13 HE is the most common skin disorder of the hands14 with a one-year prevalence rate of approximately 9%.15 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic disease.14 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.16 About atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions.17 AD is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation.18 The type 2 cytokine, IL-13, has been identified as a key cytokine in lesional and non-lesional skin and it plays an important role in atopic dermatitis pathophysiology, including immune dysregulation, skin-barrier dysfunction and itch.19,20 About delgocitinib Delgocitinib is an investigational topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It inhibits the activation of JAK-STAT signaling, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of CHE.21 The pathophysiology is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation of the skin, and alterations of the skin microbiome.22 LEO Pharma is currently developing delgocitinib in a cream formulation for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults. 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 for topical use in dermatological indications worldwide, excluding Japan, where JT retains rights. About Adbry® (tralokinumab-ldrm) Adbry® (tralokinumab-ldrm) is a high-affinity 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.11,19 Adbry specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby preventing the interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 subunit of the Type 2 receptor and inhibiting the subsequent downstream IL-13 signaling.23,24 Adbry, which is marketed outside of the U.S. under the tradename Adtralza® (tralokinumab), is approved for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients (12 years and above) with moderate-to-severe AD in the U.S., Canada, the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Great Britain, and South Korea. Adtralza is approved for use in adults with moderate-to-severe AD in Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and Japan. U.S. INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is ADBRY?
