LEO Pharma receives positive CHMP opinion recommending Anzupgo® (delgocitinib) cream for adolescents with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema in the EU18.9.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended expanding the use of Anzupgo® (delgocitinib) cream to adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema for whom topical corticosteroids are inadequate or inappropriate.
