The Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, Swissmedic, has approved Anzupgo®, making it the first topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor specifically indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE) in adults who have had an inadequate response to topical corticosteroids, or for whom potent to very potent topical corticosteroids are not advisable.(1) The approval will bring a new treatment option to approximately 4.7% of adults in Switzerland living with CHE, a condition with a high unmet need for which no specifically approved topical treatment was previously available.(2,3) In addition to the results of the DELTA 1,2 and 3 trials, the marketing approval is supported by the head-to-head DELTA FORCE trial of Anzupgo against oral alitretinoin capsules, the only other existing specifically approved treatment for severe CHE.(4-7)
