INDIANAPOLIS, March 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced results from a first-of-its-kind study of lebrikizumab specifically designed for people with skin of color and moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, commonly called eczema. In this study, treatment with lebrikizumab, an investigational medicine, showed improvement in skin clearance and itch relief. These late-breaking results from a Phase 3 study are being presented today at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting. The lebrikizumab efficacy results from this trial are consistent with data in other Phase 3 studies, which further reinforces lebrikizumab's potential to be a first-line biologic treatment following topical prescription therapies for people across a range of skin tones with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. "People with skin of color are disproportionately affected by atopic dermatitis, often experiencing more severe symptoms, a delay in diagnosis and a lengthier timeframe to find appropriate treatment. They also have been historically underrepresented in clinical trials, which means we have lacked data pertaining to the treatment of patients with skin of color," said Andrew Alexis, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Clinical Dermatology and Vice Chair for Diversity and Inclusion in the Department of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medicine, a dermatologist at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and lead study investigator. "With these initial results, Lilly is taking a step toward investigating the needs of people with skin of color affected by atopic dermatitis." The initial 16-week data from this study evaluated 50 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and darker skin tones as measured by the Fitzpatrick scale¶, including people who self-identify as Black or African American (80%), Asian (14%), American Indian or Alaska Native (6%). Of the 50 patients, 11 also self-identified as Hispanic/Latinx (22%) with the remaining 39 self-identifying as non-Hispanic/Latinx (78%). All patients received lebrikizumab 500-mg subcutaneously initially and at two weeks followed by 250-mg subcutaneously every two weeks to Week 16. Results at 16 weeks were consistent with the 16-week results from the ADhere and ADvocate 1 & 2 studies. 68% of people experienced significant improvement of at least 75% in disease extent and severity (EASI-75)*. 46% of people experienced at least 90% improvement in disease extent and severity (EASI-90)†. 39% of people achieved clear or almost clear skin (IGA 0,1)‡ with a reduction of at least two points from baseline. 55% of people experienced clinically meaningful itch relief (PNRS ≥4-point improvement)§. No new safety signals were observed and there were no serious adverse events reported. The study also included a physician assessment of changes in post-inflammatory pigmentation using the newly developed PDCA-Derm™ scale. Full efficacy and safety results from the study will be shared at future congresses. "Lebrikizumab is the first investigative treatment for atopic dermatitis to disclose robust efficacy data specifically for people with skin of color, who may experience barriers to treatment or inequitable care," said Mark Genovese, M.D., senior vice president of Immunology Development at Lilly. "Through clinical trials like this, we hope to deliver more breakthroughs to make life better for people who have been underserved." Lilly is committed to finding solutions to elevate care and improve treatment outcomes for all people living with dermatologic conditions, including addressing the unmet needs of people with skin of color. The company's work to advance health equity in dermatology is focused on engaging in impactful research that improves patient care, supporting health care providers with education to increase awareness of dermatologic diseases in patients with skin of color, and empowering the patient voice so patients can make their needs known and actively partner to find meaningful solutions. Specific to clinical research, Lilly continues to engage in efforts to involve a more diverse range of participants in clinical trials and establish clear, measurable goals to drive progress. Lilly has exclusive rights for development and commercialization of lebrikizumab in the U.S. and the rest of the world outside Europe. Lilly's partner Almirall S.A. has licensed the rights to develop and commercialize lebrikizumab for the treatment of dermatology indications, including eczema, in Europe. *EASI=Eczema Area and Severity Index, EASI-75=75 percent reduction in EASI from baseline to Week 16 † Eczema Area and Severity Index ≥ 90 percent Reduction ‡ IGA=Investigator's Global Assessment 0 or 1 ("clear" or "almost clear") § PNRS=Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale in participants with a baseline PNRS of ≥ 4 ¶ Fitzpatrick phototype describes the amount of melanin pigment in the skin by determining constitutional color and the effect of exposure to ultraviolet radiation and "darker skin tone" is defined as IV-VI on the scale About ADmirable ADmirable (NCT05372419)1 is a Phase 3b, open-label, 24-week study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab in adult and adolescent patients with skin of color and moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and defining innovative objective measures of pigment, erythema, and post-inflammatory hyper and hypopigmentation. Patients enrolled in the ADmirable study received lebrikizumab 500-mg subcutaneously initially and at two weeks followed by 250-mg every two weeks until Week 16.2 These interim data, which were analyzed before the completion of the 24-week study, represent primary and secondary endpoints from the study at 16 weeks. About Lebrikizumab and Clinical Development Program Lebrikizumab is an investigational, monoclonal antibody that targets IL-13 with high binding affinity and slow dissociation rate, to specifically prevent the formation of the IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα heterodimer complex and subsequent signaling, thereby inhibiting the biological effects of IL-13.3-5 The cytokine IL-13 is key in atopic dermatitis, driving the type-2 inflammatory loop in the skin, leading to skin barrier dysfunction, itch, skin thickening and infection.6,7 The lebrikizumab Phase 3 program consists of five key global studies evaluating over 1,300 patients, including two monotherapy studies (ADvocate 1 and 2), a combination study with topical corticosteroids (ADhere), as well as long-term extension (ADjoin) and adolescent open label (ADore) studies. Further data results from a study dedicated to people with skin of color (ADmirable) and patients previously treated with dupilumab (ADapt) are expected to be shared in late 2024.

MADISON, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- NOT FOR UK USE – NOT INTENDED FOR UK MEDIA LEO Pharma A/S, a global leader in medical dermatology, today unveiled new data analyzing the long-term therapeutic response of treatment with Adbry ® (tralokinumab-ldrm) in adults (18 years and above) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The findings are being shared via an e-poster at the 82 nd American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Congress in San Diego, California. 1 The results are part of a wide-ranging data program from LEO Pharma at AAD, with eight abstracts accepted in total for the meeting, showcasing an ongoing commitment to advancing the standard of research in medical dermatology. “ The data presented for Adbry at AAD further builds upon an established, wide-ranging collection of clinical evidence that aims to improve the support for those living with moderate-to-severe AD,” said Brian Hilberdink, EVP and President, Region North America, LEO Pharma. “ Following the expansion of our indication in the U.S. late last year for Adbry to encompass pediatric patients aged 12 to 17 years old, this data is the latest, positive step on our ongoing mission to maximize the treatment options available for as many people as possible who live with this condition.” The post hoc analysis included 347 adults (18 years and above) with moderate-to-severe AD who were continuously treated with Adbry for 52 weeks in the phase 3 ECZTRA 1 and 2 trials and subsequently for up to 152 weeks in the ECZTEND open-label extension trial. 1 Assessments in this analysis focused on timepoints after Week 16 in ECZTEND to allow for re-normalization of response rates due to variable time between the last treatment in the parent trial and the first treatment in ECZTEND. 1 The analysis showed that more than 70% of patients who continued treatment with Adbry in ECZTEND maintained a stable Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score (≤7, no to mild disease) at ≥80% of days and over half of responders maintained stable EASI ≤7 at 100% of days for up to three years. 1 “ For patients to gain genuine control over their AD, it is critical that disease fluctuations are controlled and safety is established for this long-term approach,” said Dr. Andrew Blauvelt, Blauvelt Consulting, LLC, Lake Oswego, U.S., and International Coordinating Investigator (ICI) of the ECZTEND trial. “ This new analysis demonstrates the benefits of the long-term use of Adbry for adults who live with this chronic condition.” About atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions. 3 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation. 4 Type 2 cytokines, including IL-13, play an important role in the key aspects of atopic dermatitis pathophysiology. 3,4 Excessive IL-22 production is also known to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. 5 About Adbry ® (tralokinumab-ldrm) Adbry ® (tralokinumab-ldrm), which is marketed outside of the U.S. under the tradename Adtralza ® (tralokinumab), 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. 4,6 Adbry ® specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby inhibiting interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). 7 Adbry 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. About the ECZTEND - Long-Term Extension (LTE) Trial ECZTEND (Long-term Extension Trial in Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis Who Participated in Previous Tralokinumab Trials) is an ongoing Phase 3, long-term, five-year, open-label, single-arm extension trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Adbry in patients with atopic dermatitis who participated in the previous Adbry monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2), the combination therapy Adbry plus TCS trial (ECZTRA 3), the Drug-drug interaction (DDI) trial (ECZTRA 4), the vaccine trial (ECZTRA 5), the adolescent trial (ECZTRA 6), the oral cyclosporine A trial (ECZTRA 7), the combination therapy Adbry plus TCS trial in Japanese subjects (ECZTRA 8), and the Adbry monotherapy skin barrier function trial (TraSki). Patients were permitted to enter ECZTEND after completion of the parent trial regardless of their treatment response or whether they were treated with Adbry or placebo. 2,8 U.S. INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is ADBRY?

Bunick Abstract #: 51523 E-poster 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. 9,10 HE is the most common skin disorder of the hands 11 with a one-year prevalence rate of approximately 9%. 12 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic disease. 11 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. 13 About atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions. 14 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation. 15 Type 2 cytokines, including IL-13, play an important role in the key aspects of atopic dermatitis pathophysiology. 15,16 Excessive IL-22 production is also known to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. 17 About congenital ichthyosis Congenital ichthyosis (CI) is a group of rare genetic keratinization disorders that can lead to dry, thickened, and scaling skin. 18-21 Most cases of ichthyosis are inherited, but some types develop in association with genetic syndromes or diseases, such as Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 22,23 People living with CI may have limited range of motion, chronic itching, an inability to sweat normally, high risk of secondary infections, and impaired eyesight or hearing. 18-21 About delgocitinib Delgocitinib cream is an investigational, potential first-in-class, topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for CHE. It inhibits the activation of JAK-STAT signaling, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of CHE. 24 Delgocitinib has not been approved by any health authority. The pathophysiology is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation of the skin, and alterations of the skin microbiome. 25 LEO Pharma is currently developing delgocitinib in a cream formulation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults, which is currently not approved by any health authority. 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), which is marketed outside of the U.S. under the tradename Adtralza ® (tralokinumab), 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. 15,16 Adbry ® specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby inhibiting interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). 26 Adbry 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.

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. 27 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. 27 Temtokibart does not bind to the IL-22 cytokine itself. 27 LEO Pharma has obtained a worldwide exclusive license to develop and commercialize temtokibart from argenx.
