  • Delgocitinib cream data will include the final results of the Phase 3 head-to-head DELTA FORCE trial,1 as well as a wide range of findings on delgocitinib cream and moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE).3-9
  • Results from the long-term ECZTEND tralokinumab-ldrm trial identified no new safety signals in adults and adolescent patients (aged 12 years and over with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD)) treated for up to 6 years.2
  • New data also includes results from the TRACE study on tralokinumab-ldrm in adults with moderate to severe AD on hands and feet, and genitals.10

MADISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LEO Pharma Inc., a global leader in medical dermatology, will present a comprehensive catalog of new data around investigational delgocitinib cream in the treatment of adults with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) and Adbry® (tralokinumab-ldrm) in the treatment of patients 12 years of age or older with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The findings are being presented across 18 posters at the 2024 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference taking place from Oct. 24-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.


Delgocitinib cream is an investigational topical pan-JAK inhibitor for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe CHE, who have had an inadequate response to, or for whom topical corticosteroids are not advisable. Presentations on delgocitinib cream will include results from the 24-week DELTA FORCE trial that compared the efficacy and safety of topical delgocitinib cream with oral alitretinoin capsules in adults with severe CHE.1

Tralokinumab-ldrm is marketed in the U.S. as Adbry for patients 12 years of age or older with moderate to severe AD whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. New data includes results from the TRACE study on tralokinumab-ldrm in adults with moderate to severe AD on hands and feet, and genitals,10 as well as results from the long-term ECZTEND tralokinumab-ldrm trial that identified no new safety signals in adults and adolescent patients (aged 12 years and over with moderate-to-severe AD) treated for up to 6 years.2

“We are proud to present new data, which will help further understanding of how to meet the unique needs of patients living with atopic dermatitis and chronic hand eczema,” says Shannon Schneider, LEO Pharma VP Medical Affairs, North America. “The depth of LEO Pharma data being presented at the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference this year truly showcases our leadership in the medical dermatology space, our commitment to driving innovation and ambition to advance the standard of care for patients.”

Fall Clinical is the latest major dermatology congress in which LEO Pharma has produced a steady flow of industry news. These developments underscore a commitment to advancing scientific innovation and development in medical dermatology, with the aim of making a fundamental difference for people living with challenging skin conditions.

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.11,12 CHE is one of the most common skin disorders of the hands with a prevalence rate of approximately 4.7%.13 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic condition.14 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.15

CHE has been shown to cause psychological and functional burdens that impact patient quality of life,16 with approximately 70% of individuals who live with severe CHE admitting to problems in performing everyday activities, and suffering disruption in their daily life due to the condition.17 Furthermore, careers and earning potential have also been shown to be impacted by the burden of living with CHE.18

About atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions.19 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation.20 Type 2 cytokines, including IL-13, play an important role in the key aspects of atopic dermatitis pathophysiology.21

About delgocitinib cream

Delgocitinib cream is an investigational, 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.22 The pathophysiology is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation of the skin, and alterations of the skin microbiome.22 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 approved in Europe. 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.20 Tralokinumab-ldrm specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby inhibiting interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2).23

Tralokinumab-ldrm is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe AD in adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older in the European Union, Canada, Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, the U.S., and Saudi Arabia. Tralokinumab-ldrm is approved for use in adults with moderate to severe AD in Switzerland and Japan.
