Galderma to Highlight Latest Science and Innovation Across Its Product Portfolio at the 2022 AAD Annual Meeting

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma, the leading company solely dedicated to advancing the future of dermatology, announced it will be attending the 2022 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting to showcase its latest approved and investigational product updates. This includes clinical data presentations at its product theaters, advisory boards, and booth activities onsite as AAD returns in-person once more.

“We are excited to attend AAD to connect with the dermatology community and showcase our latest innovation and data across our complete dermatology portfolio,” said Baldo Scassellati Sforzolini, Global Head of Research & Development at Galderma. “Our presence underscores our commitment to developing and bringing to market dermatological solutions to address every skin need.”

A considerable amount of new data will be presented during the AAD Congress in the form of abstracts and oral presentations for nemolizumab, a first-in-class investigational monoclonal antibody directed against the interleukin-31 (IL-31) receptor, under clinical development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis.

The data for prurigo nodularis include efficacy data of nemolizumab and its impact on itch and sleep disturbance. An additional seven abstracts look at a variety of aspects of the disease including its prevalence, current treatment practices and the effect of the disease on sleep, mental health disorders and gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases. Three abstracts in atopic dermatitis look at the safety and efficacy of nemolizumab in adolescents and the impact of nemolizumab according to EASI and Scorad components.

Galderma will present thirteen study abstracts regarding its investigational monoclonal antibody that targets the IL-31 receptor, nemolizumab. Data comes from Phase 2 studies and real-world evidence. More details on Galderma’s activities can be found below.

About atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory skin disease, characterized by diffuse skin lesions and constant, severe disruptive itch.^[1],[2] Reported prevalence of AD varies greatly, ranging from 1% to 25% of the population depending on the geography and age range.^[3] AD can have a profound impact on patients’ quality of life, leading to sleep difficulties, psychological complications and causing secondary skin infections (bacterial and viral).^[4]

About prurigo nodularis
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a rare, potentially debilitating, chronic skin condition with thick skin nodules covering large body areas and associated intense unrelenting itch.^[5] While PN can occur at any age, it is most likely to affect people between the ages of 40 and 69, frequently leading to severe impairment in quality of life.^[6]

The global prevalence of PN is not well known as there are few studies describing the epidemiology of the condition. In the U.S., the latest estimate is that PN affects 52.9 people in every 100,000.^[4] In the European context, rates of between 0.65 and 11.1 per 10,000 population have been reported. In addition to natural variation, this relatively wide range of estimates is partly due to differences in case definition and the representativeness of the study populations.^[6]

About nemolizumab
Nemolizumab is an investigational agent under clinical development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
