ABOUT ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC)Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, or colon, and rectum, in which the lining of the gastrointestinal tract becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This condition is the result of an overactive immune system. UC affects 3.3 million patients in the US, Europe and Japan2. Despite broad therapeutic options, remission rates are only 25-30%3 leaving most patients without satisfactory treatments. 15% of patients4 fail to respond to all therapies and undergo surgery as a last option.

RAD 2025: Long-Term Data on Nemluvio ® (nemolizumab) Demonstrate its Favorable Safety Profile and Sustained and Increased Improvements in Itch and Skin Lesions in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis up to Two Years
ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma (SIX: GALD) today announced two-year data from a new interim analysis of a long-term extension study investigating the safety and efficacy of Nemluvio in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. The data show that Nemluvio is well tolerated, with no new safety signals identified, reinforcing its rapid onset of action and demonstrating sustained and increased improvements in symptoms including itch and skin lesions with prolonged treatment up to two years. 1 These data will be presented in a late-breaker abstract at the Revolutionizing Atopic Dermatitis (RAD) Conference, taking place from June 6-7, 2025. BALDO SCASSELLATI SFORZOLINI, M.D., PHD. GALDERMA Expand Atopic dermatitis affects more than 230 million people worldwide. 3 Often reported as one of patients' most problematic symptoms, 87% of people with atopic dermatitis say they are seeking freedom from itch, with speed of itch relief therefore also prioritized by both patients and physicians. 4-7 Nemluvio is the first approved monoclonal antibody that specifically targets IL-31 receptor alpha, inhibiting the signaling of IL-31. 3,8,9 IL-31 is a neuroimmune cytokine that drives itch and is involved in inflammation and skin barrier dysfunction in atopic dermatitis. 8,10 Nemluvio is also the first and only biologic approved for atopic dermatitis as well as prurigo nodularis with four-week dosing intervals from the start of treatment, and the only option to move to eight-week dosing intervals for appropriate patients with atopic dermatitis. 9 'The relentless itch of atopic dermatitis is not just a symptom; it's a constant burden that disrupts sleep, concentration, and the simple joys of life. Nemolizumab has demonstrated its impact on both itch and skin lesions in atopic dermatitis extensively over the years, and these new data, demonstrating its benefit up to two years, add another layer of confidence to that.' PROFESSOR JONATHAN SILVERBERG Expand The ARCADIA long-term extension study was designed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of Nemluvio in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis up to five years and includes more than 1,900 patients who either completed the initial or maintenance period in ARCADIA 1 or 2, a previous phase II/IIIb study, or were newly enrolled adolescent patients. 1 Results to be presented at the RAD Conference will show that Nemluvio is associated with sustained and increased improvements in skin lesions, itch, sleep, and quality of life during prolonged treatment up to two years. 1 At week 104 in evaluable patients, the interim analysis shows that: More than 85% achieved a 75% reduction in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 1 Approximately 85% and 70% achieved an at least four-point improvement in itch, and being itch free or nearly itch free, respectively, when assessed using the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pruritus score. Improvements in sleep mirrored those in itch 1 Approximately 60% reached clearance or almost-clearance of skin lesions when assessed using the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score 1 Patients' quality of life improved over time, as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 1 Results also reinforce Nemluvio's rapid onset of action on itch and skin at Week 4, with 49% of patients who entered the long-term extension study naïve to Nemluvio achieving a 75% reduction in the EASI, and 69% achieving an at least four-point improvement in itch when assessed using the SCORAD VAS Pruritus score. 1 Nemluvio was well tolerated in the long-term treatment of atopic dermatitis and no new safety signals were identified. 1 Additional data from both the ARCADIA program in atopic dermatitis, as well as from the OLYMPIA open-label extension study in prurigo nodularis will be presented at RAD 2025, reinforcing Nemluvio's rapid impact on key symptoms of atopic dermatitis, and its long-term efficacy in prurigo nodularis. 11,12 Nemluvio was first approved in August 2024 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) for the treatment of adults with prurigo nodularis. 9 In December 2024, it was also approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, in combination with topical corticosteroids and/or calcineurin inhibitors when the disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies. 9 To date, Nemluvio is approved for both moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis by multiple regulatory authorities around the world, including the European Commission. Additional regulatory submissions and reviews are ongoing. More details on Galderma's scientific presentations at RAD can be found here. About Nemluvio Nemluvio was initially developed by Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. In 2016, Galderma obtained exclusive rights to the development and marketing of nemolizumab worldwide, except in Japan. In Japan, nemolizumab is marketed as Mitchga ® and is approved for the treatment of prurigo nodularis, as well as pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis in pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients. 13,14 About atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is a common, chronic, and flaring inflammatory skin disease, characterized by persistent itch and recurrent skin lesions. 3,15,16 It affects more than 230 million people worldwide. 3 It is the most common inflammatory skin disease, impacting almost four times more people than psoriasis. 17 Important Safety Information Indications: NEMLUVIO ® (nemolizumab-ilto) is a prescription medicine used: to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis or AD) in combination with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical) when the eczema is not well controlled by topical therapies alone. It is not known if NEMLUVIO is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 12 years of age. to treat adults with prurigo nodularis. It is not known if NEMLUVIO is safe and effective in children with prurigo nodularis under 18 years of age. Do not take NEMLUVIO if you are allergic to nemolizumab-ilto or to any ingredients in NEMLUVIO.

ERA Congress: Long-term data show sustained efficacy and safety of zigakibart in patients with IgA nephropathy
VIENNA, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New 100-week data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of zigakibart, an investigational anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody, reinforce its potential as a disease-modifying treatment for IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Findings presented today at the 62nd ERA Congress demonstrate sustained proteinuria remission, stable kidney function, and a reassuring safety profile. IgAN is the most common form of glomerular disease worldwide and a frequent cause of chronic kidney disease. Its pathogenesis is marked by inflammation and progressive kidney damage, which can lead to kidney failure. Many patients are unaware they have the condition until significant kidney damage has occurred, and 50% of IgAN patients will ultimately develop kidney failure. By targeting the APRIL pathway and reducing production of pathogenic galactose-debecause ofgA1), zigakibart addresses a key driver of disease progression. "Zigakibart is designed to intercept the initiating factor in IgAN pathogenesis, offering a new approach that may halt or significantly delay progression", explained lead investigator Professor Jonathan Barratt. The ADU-CL-19 trial included 40 adults with biopsy-confirmed IgAN and persistent proteinuria despite stable supportive therapy. Patients received zigakibart every two weeks via intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection, in addition to maximally tolerated renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) unless RASi-intolerant – demonstrating efficacy beyond standard care. At Week 100, proteinuria was reduced by 60% from baseline. Over half of patients (55%) reached <500 mg/24 h, and 31% achieved <300 mg/24 h, indicating deeper remission. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remained stable across subgroups. "The consistency of eGFR stabilisation over 100 weeks, even across proteinuria response groups, is particularly encouraging," said Prof. Barratt. Treatment also led to sustained reductions in serum immunoglobulins, including a 74% drop in IgA and pathogenic Gd-IgA1, consistent with APRIL pathway inhibition. Zigakibart was well tolerated throughout. Most adverse events were mild or moderate, with no treatment-related serious infections or discontinuations. Infections were the most common AEs; the study coincided with a high prevalence of COVID-19. This is the longest duration of eGFR stabilisation reported for an anti-APRIL agent in IgAN. "These long-term results build confidence in zigakibart as a potential cornerstone therapy for IgAN," said Prof. Barratt. "We're excited to see how the upcoming Phase 3 trials will further define its role." The global Phase 3 BEYOND study is now evaluating zigakibart in a broader population, with primary proteinuria endpoints at 40 weeks and long-term kidney function through 104 weeks.

Royals make 2 crucial roster moves before Tigers clash
The post Royals make 2 crucial roster moves before Tigers clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Kansas City Royals are set to meet the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium. Before the series starts, the Royals are making two notable moves that will affect the pitching staff. Advertisement On Friday, the Royals reinstated starter Seth Lugo from the IL. The corresponding move was to add reliever Lucas Erceg to the 15-day IL with a lower back strain. Erceg has been one of the top right-handed relievers in the leagues over the last few seasons. The right-hander has a 1.96 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, and one save this season. He is not the closer, but he has closer stuff for a team that has an above-average bullpen. The Royals are not winning games at the rate they had hoped for before the campaign began, however, this team is on the right path to being a playoff contender. Kansas City will want Erceg back healthy as soon as possible to help get them back over the hump. Lugo is making his return to the bump tonight. He turned starter with the San Diego Padres two seasons ago after a long career as a New York Mets reliever. He wanted to prove that he could start, and the right-hander benefited from that change, being named a 2024 All-Star for the Royals. Lugo is off to another strong start in 2025. The Royals' starter is 3-4 with a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, has 42 K's, 15 walks in 56.2 innings. His last start came again st the Boston Red Sox where he pitched a quality start. In 6.0 innings, he allowed six hits, three runs, two homers, and K'd up five. However, the Royals would lose 3-1. That game was May 11, and Lugo will now be fresh after two weeks of recovering from a finger sprain. Kansas City is expected to get starter Cole Ragans back soon from injury as well. The Tigers are sending out starter Casey Mize, who has been on a tear this season. This matchup has the makings of being a great game.
