Incyte announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Opzelura (ruxolitinib) cream, marking it as the first approved treatment for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo within the European Union.
This approval is based on positive Phase 3 trial results showing substantial improvements in facial and total body repigmentation with the treatment. Approximately 29.8% and 30.9% of patients achieved a 75% improvement in facial vitiligo after 24 weeks of treatment. The cream is designated for use in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older, addressing a significant unmet need for patients suffering from this chronic autoimmune disease.
No serious treatment-related side effects were reported, although acne at the application site was noted as a common reaction.
