LEO Pharma presents new data on delgocitinib cream at EADV 2026 highlighting real-world outcomes in adults and new adolescent data in Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE)1.10.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

Interim results from the German REACHED study provide the first real-world evidence on the effectiveness of delgocitinib cream in adults with moderate to severe Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE), with 28.6% of patients assessed as clear or almost clear after eight weeks of treatment, from none at baseline.1 New post hoc analyses from the phase 3 DELTA TEEN trial show greater reductions in daily HESD itch and pain scores with delgocitinib cream than with cream vehicle in adolescents aged 12-17 with moderate to severe CHE.2 In an oral presentation, new post hoc analyses from DELTA TEEN show that a higher proportion of adolescents reported no impact on quality of life at Week 16 with delgocitinib cream than with cream vehicle (27.0% vs 0%)3

LEO Pharma presents new tralokinumab data at EADV 2026 highlighting real-world outcomes and quality of life in adults and adolescents with atopic dermatitis (AD) involving high-burden areas1.10.2026 10:30:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

New findings from a subgroup analysis of the 12-month TRACE study show that more than 70% of adults whose Atopic Dermatitis (AD) affected multiple high-burden areas – such as the head and neck, hands and feet, or genitals – had reduced involvement of those areas after 12 months of treatment with tralokinumab.1 New pre-specified and post hoc analyses from the phase 3 ADHAND trial show significantly greater improvements in quality of life, daily function and sleep at Week 16 with tralokinumab monotherapy than with placebo in adults with AD and moderate-to-severe hand involvement, with the two treatment groups separating within two weeks.2,3 In a post hoc analysis, adolescents aged 12-17 years treated across the phase 3 ECZTRA 6 trial and its ECZTEND extension, response rates remained high and stable through most of the extension period, and no new safety concerns were identified.5

LEO Pharma to showcase its broadest ever scientific program at EADV 202624.9.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

LEO Pharma will present 28 accepted abstracts at the 2026 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress, taking place from 30 September to 3 October in Vienna, Austria. The EADV 2026 program reflects the strength and breadth of LEO Pharma’s portfolio, showcasing what’s now and what’s next in medical dermatology with new evidence across nine disease areas, six routes of administration and nine modes of action; including biologic injectables, topical formulations, and covering data across established dermatology brands and new innovation. The program underscores LEO Pharma’s continued commitment to advancing medical dermatology through evidence that addresses both highly prevalent chronic skin diseases and complex or rare, hard-to-treat conditions with significant unmet needs.

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. If approved by the European Commission, Anzupgo® would become the first therapy in the EU specifically approved for adolescents with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema, a patient population for whom there are currently no specifically approved treatment options. 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

LEO Pharma announces FDA acceptance of dersimelagon NDA with Priority Review and closes acquisition from Tanabe Pharma18.9.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for dersimelagon for filing and granted it Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date expected by the end of February 2027. LEO Pharma has successfully closed the acquisition of dersimelagon from Tanabe Pharma, strengthening its late-stage pipeline and further leveraging its global dermatology platform. Dersimelagon is an investigational, once-daily oral melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) agonist for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP), two rare genetic skin diseases with significant unmet medical need.
