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.

The positive CHMP opinion is supported by results from DELTA TEEN, a phase 3 trial investigating the efficacy and safety of Anzupgo® in adolescents with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema.1
