Utilizing the Crosstalk Among Chicoric Acid, 13-Cis Retinoic Acid(Aerosolized), Minocycline and Vitamin D as a Potent Quadrate Therapy for Treating Patients With Multidrug-resistant TB and Patient With Both Multidrug-resistant TB and COVID-19

Utilizing the Crosstalk Among Chicoric Acid, 13-Cis Retinoic Acid(Aerosolized), Minocycline and Vitamin D as a Potent Quadrate Therapy for treating patients with Multidrug-resistant TB and patient with both Multidrug-resistant TB and COVID-19 . A double-edged sword Clinical Study
I)Part of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major infectious disease killer globally. It affected 10 million and killed 1.4 million people in 2019 alone. The predicted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is an additional 190,000 TB deaths in 2020, and it is expected in the next 5 y that there will be up to a 20% increase in the global TB disease burden , stressing the critical need for new safe and effective drugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In addition, controlling multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) presents a huge public health challenge . New drug discovery could require several years with no guarantee but repurposing established may be useful to treat patients with tuberculosis . Here we demonstrate that we could utilize the crosstalk among Chicoric Acid, 13-Cis Retinoic Acid, Minocycline , and vitamin D as a novel quadrate therapy against TB.Drug-resistant tuberculosis represents a global emergency, requiring new drugs. Recently Minocycline was found to be highly potent in laboratory strains of Mycobacterium TB, and 30 drug-sensitive and multidrug/extensively drug-resistant clinical strains were susceptible to clinically attainable dosages. The lung concentration-time profiles of a 7 mg/kg/day human-equivalent minocycline dosage yielded bacterial kill rates comparable to first-line antituberculosis drugs. Extracellular bacilli were destroyed directly by minocycline. Minocycline also killed intracellular bacilli indirectly through granzyme A-driven apoptosis. Furthermore, minocycline showed dose-dependent antiinflammatory effect, suggesting that it may protect tuberculosis patients against immunopathology. A study showed that M. tuberculosis induced the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme involved in tryptophan catabolism, in macrophages and in the lungs of animals (mice and macaque) with active disease. In a macaque model of inhalation TB, suppression of IDO activity reduced bacterial burden, pathology, and clinical signs of TB disease, leading to increased host survival. This increased protection was accompanied by increased lung T cell proliferation, induction of inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue and correlates of bacterial killing . A recent study showed that Minocycline-induced significantly inhibition of IDO expression. But Minocycline-induced inhibition of IDO expression is retinoid-dependent. The combined treatment with minocycline and retinol, however, resulted in a striking, statistically significant decrease in IDO. Co-treatment with minocycline and retinol again resulted in decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels. A study showed that IL-6 inhibits IFN-γ induced autophagy in Mycobacterium (TB) H37Rv infected macrophages. As well as neutralization of endogenous IL-6 by anti-IL-6 antibody significantly enhances the IFN-γ mediated killing of the intracellular bacteria. Minocycline's anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through RAR signaling. Therefore, The combined treatment with minocycline and retinol is expected to effectively inhibit (TB) and its inflammatory complication, Fortunately, Retinoic Acid significantly inhibits the in vivo growth of M. tuberculosis and the development of tuberculosis. In addition to, 13-Cis RA and Chicoric Acid ( CA ) enhanced the cell surface expression of HLA-DR and CD14 molecules on U937 macrophages and prevented the growth of Mtb within macrophages. Moreover, 13-cis RA and CA, have increased NO generation compared to untreated control macrophages, significantly . Both drugs have a significant inhibitory effect on Mtb growth but CA at the highest concentration was more potent than 13-cis RA . Therefore we will use retinoic acid to induce the effect of Minocycline as well as its ability to inhibit tuberculosis in combination with CA .Recent data showed that Vitamin D support innate immune responses to Mycobacterium TB and Low vitamin D levels were associated with a 5-fold increased risk for progression to tuberculosis. Deficiency of vitamin D has long been implicated in activation of (TB) . Serum vitamin D in TB patients are lower than in healthy controls . Vitamin D has been found to speed up the clearance of (TB) bacteria from the lungs of people with multi-drug resistant TB, according to a study of 1,850 patients. It was showed that Vitamin D receptor (VDR) must form a heterodimer complex with retinoid X receptor (RXR) to regulate gene transcription. Retinol plays a crucial role in lung development and signaling the vitamin D pathway. 9-cis-retinoic acid, an active vitamin A metabolite and the ligand of RXR, assists VDR signaling and suppresses the degradation of circulating vitamin D.

Increasing antimicrobial resistance underscores the urgent need for new antibiotics with unique mechanisms. Type I signal peptidase (SPase I) is crucial for bacterial survival and a promising target for antibiotics. Herein we designed and synthesized innovative tetrahydroacridine-9-carboxylic acid derivatives by optimizing the initial hit compound SP11 based on virtual screening. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and bioactivity assessments identified compound C09 as a standout, showing excellent in vitro antimicrobial activity against MRSA and other multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. C09 targets SPase I with a favorable affinity, disrupts bacterial cell membranes, and eradicates biofilms, reducing resistance risk. In vivo tests in a murine MRSA skin infection model demonstrated significant efficacy. Additionally, C09 has good liver microsome metabolic stability, safe hemolytic activity and mammalian cytotoxicity, as well as a good in vivo safety profile. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of tetrahydroacridine-9-carboxylic acid derivatives as a novel class of antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria.

Article

Author: Yang, KeBing ; Gao, Fang ; Fu, XiaoHua ; Zheng, Min ; Zhang, JiaCheng ; Wang, ChengLu

Notable variations in semen parameters among non-smoking males have been documented post-COVID-19 pandemic. The role of smoking as a significant contributing factor to male infertility has been substantiated. Does the combined effect of smoking and SARS-CoV-2 infection impact male reproductive function? A prospective descriptive cohort study was performed using data from 90 smoking and 90 non-smoking males before and after coronavirus infection in a single center over a period of 3 months. Semen samples were collected before and within 15 days after COVID-19 infection, ensuring no more than three months elapsed between the two collections. The semen parameters evaluated included volume, concentration, progressive motility, normal morphology, and DNA fragmentation rate. Proteomic and metabolomic studies were further used to explore the differences between groups. Both non-smokers and smokers exhibited a marked reduction in sperm concentration, progressive motility, and normal morphology rate. Additionally, an increase in sperm DNA fragmentation index was noted for non-smokers and smokers. In the non-smoking group, dysregulation proteins including SEMG1, SEMG2 and DNAH5, and metabolites including L-glutamine, cis-9-Palmitoleic acid and Linoleamide were observed. In smokers, dysregulation proteins including SMCP, ROPN1B and IZUMO4, alongside metabolites including carnitine, gamma-Glutamylglutamic acid, and hypoxanthine were found. Comparative analysis between smoking and non-smoking patients post-COVID-19 also revealed significant differences in semen concentration, morphology and sperm DNA fragmentation rate. Dysregulated proteins including HSPA5, HSPA2 and PGK2, and metabolites such as acetylcarnitine, oxaloacetate and nicotinate were associated with impaired sperm function. Our study demonstrates that the virus also significantly compromises sperm quality in smoking males, who experience more pronounced declines post-infection compared to their non-smoking counterparts. This research underscores the necessity for comprehensive fertility assessments for smoking males after recovering from COVID-19.

Tuning RXR Modulators for PGC1α Recruitment

Article

Author: Ildefeld, Niklas ; Pabel, Jörg ; Heering, Jan ; Wolff, Sina ; Bitić, Anesa ; Marschner, Julian A. ; Sai, Minh ; Wein, Thomas ; Merk, Daniel ; Schwarzenbach, Roman ; Nawa, Felix ; Vietor, Jan

The molecular activation mechanism of the nuclear retinoid X receptors (RXRs) crucially involves ligand-induced corepressor release and coactivator recruitment which mediate transcriptional repression or activation. The ability of RXR to bind diverse coactivators suggests that a coregulator-selective modulation by ligands may open an avenue to tissue- or gene-selective RXR activation. Here, we identified strong induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α) binding to RXR by a synthetic agonist but not by the endogenous ligand 9-cis retinoic acid. Structure-guided diversification of this lead resulted in a set of three structurally related RXR agonists with different ability to promote PGC1α recruitment in cell-free and cellular context. These results demonstrate that selective modulation of coregulator recruitment to RXR can be achieved with molecular glues and potentially open new therapeutic opportunities by targeting the ligand-induced RXR-PGC1α interaction.

LEO Pharma Presents Late-Breaking Anzupgo® (delgocitinib) Cream Presentation at EADV 2024 Highlighting Results of Head-to-Head DELTA FORCE Trial in Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE)

BALLERUP, Denmark--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- NOT FOR UK USE – NOT INTENDED FOR UK MEDIA LEO Pharma A/S, a global leader in medical dermatology, today presented late-breaking data on the DELTA FORCE trial and shared six additional abstracts as part of the scientific program for Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream as a potential treatment for adult patients with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE), for whom topical corticosteroids are inadequate or inappropriate. The findings for delgocitinib cream have been delivered as part of one of LEO Pharma’s most extensive scientific programs to date at the 33 rd European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Amsterdam. 1-7 The 12-week head-to-head DELTA FORCE phase 3 clinical trial (N=513) evaluated the efficacy and safety of delgocitinib cream compared with oral alitretinoin capsules. 8 Alongside delgocitinib cream, alitretinoin is the only other treatment currently approved in the European Union to specifically treat severe CHE in patients who do not respond to topical corticosteroids. 9-11 Delgocitinib cream achieved the primary outcome measure of the trial, with a significantly greater least squares (LS) mean decrease in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) score from baseline to Week 12 (67.6) compared to alitretinoin (51.5, P<0.001). 1 The topical treatment also demonstrated superiority to alitretinoin across all key secondary outcome measures. This included a significantly greater proportion of delgocitinib cream patients achieving Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA)-CHE treatment success (TS) after 12 weeks (27.2%) compared to those receiving alitretinoin (16.6%; P=0.004). Patients who received delgocitinib cream also experienced fewer treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) (49.4%) compared to those receiving alitretinoin capsules (76.1%). 1 “ The completion of the DELTA FORCE study marks a significant milestone in our understanding of moderate to severe chronic hand eczema treatment,” said Kreesten Meldgaard Madsen, Chief Development Officer, LEO Pharma. “ With the full results now available, we have gained a new understanding of how topical treatment with delgocitinib cream compares to alitretinoin. This groundbreaking news forms just one part of the vast amount of data LEO Pharma is presenting at EADV 2024, all of which work to address the critical unmet needs of dermatology patients.” “ Alongside the results of DELTA FORCE, an extensive body of work, encompassing clinical trial data, real-world findings from both clinicians and patients, and a detailed biopsy analysis provides a multifaceted view of CHE and its treatment landscape,” said Alexander Egeberg, Head of Global Medical Affairs, LEO Pharma. “ T his data not only enhances our knowledge of CHE management but also potentially paves the way for a new topical option in clinicians’ therapeutic arsenal.” Additional novel investigational delgocitinib cream research: A post hoc analysis of 638 patients treated with delgocitinib cream across the DELTA 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials investigated the drug’s efficacy across 5 subtypes of CHE after 16 weeks of treatment. The following 5 CHE subtypes were built into the analysis: irritant contact dermatitis, vesicular hand eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic hand eczema and hyperkeratotic hand eczema. 2 Data from the large multi-national RWEAL study (N=1939) found that CHE patients often present with signs, symptoms and multiple aetiological subtypes. 3 This was presented at EADV alongside other RWEAL data that showed a significant proportion of patients had no other dermatological or atopic condition besides CHE, with fewer than half (43.8%) ever having atopic dermatitis. 4 Together, these data show that CHE is a distinct, complex condition with a significant unmet need. 3,4 Real-world findings from the population-based CHECK study found that the health-related quality of life of CHE patients is increasingly impaired at each step of the treatment ladder, with a mean Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 5.9 for participants reporting treatment with injectables, 6.6 for topical corticosteroids, and 3.0 for those not currently on treatment. 5 Qualitative analysis of DELTA 1 patient exit interviews (N=27) confirms the sizable real-world impact of CHE disease burden. An impact on daily living was reported by 96.3% of patients and 88.9% reported an impact on emotional wellbeing due to their CHE. 6 Another presentation examined the biopsy samples analysis of 41 patients and showed severe CHE was associated with a strong dysregulation of genes in various pathways involved in skin inflammation and barrier function. Treatment with delgocitinib cream appeared to normalize the inflammatory processes and restore skin barrier integrity by inhibiting JAK signalling pathways. 7 In addition to the data submitted, LEO Pharma will also present a symposium on Friday the 27 th of September, titled “ Chronic Hand Eczema Breaking the Silent Conversation”. The session will explore the role of patient voices when managing CHE. *ENDS* About the DELTA FORCE Trial DELTA FORCE was a 24-week, randomized, assessor-blinded, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3, two-arm trial to compare the efficacy and safety of delgocitinib cream twice-daily with oral alitretinoin capsules once-daily in adult participants with severe chronic hand eczema. 8 The primary endpoint of the trial was the change in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) score from baseline to Week 12. Participants assigned to receive delgocitinib cream applied the drug to the skin twice a day for 16 weeks. Participants assigned to receive alitretinoin capsules took the drug orally once a day for 12 weeks. All participants were permitted to continue for up to 24 weeks if the doctor considered that they were benefiting from the treatment. 8 About the DELTA 1, 2 and 3 Trials The primary objective for the randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, multi-center phase 3 clinical trials (DELTA 1 and DELTA 2) was to evaluate the efficacy of twice-daily applications of delgocitinib cream compared with cream vehicle in the treatment of adults with moderate to severe CHE. 12-14 The primary endpoint of the trials was the Investigator’s Global Assessment for chronic hand eczema treatment success (IGA-CHE TS) at Week 16. Treatment success was defined as an IGA-CHE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a two-step improvement from baseline. Additional IGA-CHE scores included 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), and 4 (severe). 12-14 Key secondary endpoints at Week 16 included reduction of itch and pain scores of ≥4 points measured by the Hand Eczema Symptom Diary (HESD) from baseline to Week 16, as well as at least 75% improvement from baseline and at least 90% improvement from baseline on the Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) at Week 16. The number of treatment-emergent adverse events from baseline to Week 16 defined the key safety endpoint of the trials. 12-14 Subjects who completed 16 weeks of treatment with delgocitinib cream or cream vehicle twice daily in trials DELTA 1 or DELTA 2 were offered to roll-over to the 36-week DELTA 3 Open-label, Multi-site Extension trial. The purpose of this extension trial was to evaluate the long-term safety of delgocitinib. 15 About the RWEAL study The RWEAL (Real-World trEatment & mAnagement of chronic hand eczema in cLinical practice) study is a medical chart review which involved (n=292) physicians from Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Patients ≥18 years of age with moderate to severe CHE treated with TCS in the past 12 months, or with TCS contraindication, were randomly selected from physician’s overall caseload in the preceding 12 months. Data on treatments used in the 12 months prior to the last visit was collected and analyzed descriptively. 3,4 The objective of the RWEAL study was to investigate treatment patterns in patients with moderate to severe CHE over 12 months, focusing on topical corticosteroid (TCS) therapy. 3,4 About the CHECK study CHECK (Chronic Hand Eczema epidemiology, Care, and Knowledge of real-life burden) is a population-based study which recruited (n=60,131) participants in six countries including Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK aged 18-69 via online panels. Participants were representative of the general population regarding sex, age, region, employment status, urban/rural setting, and, for the UK, ethnicity. 5,16 The objective of the CHECK study was to investigate and analyze self-reported disease severity, symptoms, and treatments in CHE. Furthermore, the study estimated the prevalence of CHE among adults aged 18 to 69 in the general population and described the prevalence according to key socio-demographic characteristics. The association and impact of CHE on exposures and occupation or household/leisure activities were also investigated. 5,16 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. 9,17 CHE is one the most common skin disorder of the hands with a prevalence rate of approximately 4.7%. 16 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic condition. 18 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. 10 CHE has been shown to cause psychological and functional burdens that impact patient quality of life, 19 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. 20 Furthermore, careers and earning potential have also been shown to be impacted by the burden of living with CHE. 21 About Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream 20 mg/g is an investigational topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for moderate to severe 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. 23 Anzupgo is currently approved in the European Union for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults for whom topical corticosteroids are inadequate or inappropriate. 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 cream for topical use in dermatological indications worldwide, excluding Japan, where JT retains rights.

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. 29,30 CHE is one the most common skin disorder of the hands with a prevalence rate of approximately 4.7%. 31 In a substantial number of patients, HE can develop into a chronic condition. 32 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. 33 CHE has been shown to cause psychological and functional burdens that impact patient quality of life, 34 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. 35 Furthermore, careers and earning potential have also been shown to be impacted by the burden of living with CHE. 36 About Atopic Dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions. 37 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation. 38 Type 2 cytokines, including IL-13, play an important role in the key aspects of atopic dermatitis pathophysiology. 37,38 Excessive IL-22 production is also known to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. 39 About Psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the skin in 125 million people worldwide. 40,41 Psoriasis is the result of skin barrier cell proliferation and the activation of cytokines (a family of proteins involved in immune responses) that cause inflammation. 42 About 80% to 90% of patients are affected by plaque psoriasis, the most common clinical form of psoriasis. 43 The symptoms of plaque psoriasis are itchy or painful raised scaly and inflamed plaques. Plaques may appear anywhere on the body, but often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows and torso. 43 About Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream Anzupgo ® (delgocitinib) cream 20 mg/g is a topical pan-Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for the treatment of moderate to severe CHE. It inhibits the activation of JAK-STAT signaling, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of CHE. 44 The pathophysiology is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation of the skin, and alterations of the skin microbiome. 45 Anzupgo is currently approved in the European Union for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE) in adults for whom topical corticosteroids are inadequate or inappropriate. 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 cream for topical use in dermatological indications worldwide, excluding Japan, where JT retains rights. About Adtralza ® (tralokinumab) / Adbry ® (tralokinumab-ldrm) Adtralza ® (tralokinumab), which is marketed under the tradename Adbry ® in the U.S., 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. 38,46 Adtralza ® specifically binds to the IL-13 cytokine, thereby inhibiting interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). 47 Adtralza ® 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, and South Korea. Adtralza ® is approved for use in adults with moderate to severe AD in the U.S., Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. About Kyntheum ® (brodalumab) Kyntheum ® (brodalumab) is a recombinant fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin IgG2 antibody that binds with high affinity to human IL-17RA and blocks the biological activities of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17A/F heterodimer, IL-17C and IL-17E (also known as IL-25), resulting in inhibition of the inflammation and clinical symptoms associated with psoriasis. IL-17RA is a protein expressed on the cell surface and is a required component of receptor complexes utilized by multiple IL-17 family cytokines. IL-17 family cytokine levels have been reported to be increased in psoriasis. IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-17A/F heterodimer have pleiotropic activities including the induction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-6, GROα, and G-CSF from epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts that promote tissue inflammation. IL-17C has been shown to induce similar responses as IL-17A and IL-17F in keratinocytes. Blocking IL-17RA inhibits IL-17 cytokine-induced responses resulting in normalization of inflammation in the skin. 48 Kyntheum ® is indicated in the European Union, Great Britain, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy. About temtokibart Temtokibart (LEO 138559) is an investigational monoclonal antibody that targets the IL-22RA1 receptor subunit, currently in Phase 2 development for the potential treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. 49 It blocks the IL-22RA1 subunit and thereby inhibits the effects of the IL-22 cytokine, and potentially also to some extent the effects of IL-20 and IL-24. 49 Temtokibart does not bind to the IL-22 cytokine itself. 49 LEO Pharma has obtained a worldwide exclusive license to develop and commercialize temtokibart from argenx. About LEO Pharma LEO Pharma is a global company dedicated to advancing the standard of care for the benefit of people with skin conditions, their families and society.

Leo Pharma prepares to come for the topical JAK market as Incyte's Opzelura cream launch cools off

None Watch out, Incyte. Leo Pharma and its JAK inhibitor cream delgocitinib are coming to disrupt the topical atopic dermatitis market, currently inhibited by Incyte’s approved Opzelura. With several positive studies in hand, including a recent phase 3 trial pitting the candidate against the current standard-of-care, Leo says its delgocitinib has growth driver potential. Now, the drugmaker will be “investing additional resources in accelerating the launch of this potential treatment to patients,” Leo said in its first quarter earnings release. The cream is currently under regulatory review in Europe. As for other markets including the U.S., Leo is “assessing ways” to bring the potential treatment to commercialization, it said. Delgocitinib has been marked in Japan by Japan Tobacco for four years now. Leo's evidence supporting the drug includes two phase 3 studies against a placebo cream and an open-label extension study proving its success in treating patients with moderate-to-severe chronic hand eczema. Most recently, delgocitinib went up against standard-of-care alitretinoin capsules, the only currently approved treatment for chronic hand eczema patients who do not respond to topical corticosteroids. In the DELTA FORCE study of 513 patients, Leo’s candidate proved a superior reduction in scoring on the Hand Eczema Severity Index at week 12 and week 24. It also trumped alitretinoin in two other secondary measures assessing treatment success and quality of life. “We are confident that with the DELTA FORCE study, delgocitinib cream may play a crucial role in expanding the options available for patients in this hard-to-treat condition,” chief development officer Kreesten Meldgaard Madsen said at the time. If the drug scores approval, it would compete with the only other marketed topical JAK inhibitor, Incyte’s Opzelura. That med is a cream version of the company’s popular JAK inhibitor Jakafi. Other than atopic dermatitis, Opzelura is also approved to treat vitiligo. Incyte is now moving to expand the Jakafi counterpart into pediatric atopic dermatitis use and expects to submit its bid for the indication this year along with “multiple data readouts,” head of R&D Pablo Cagnoni said on the company’s first-quarter earnings call. A pediatric nod would add some two million to three million eligible patients to the med’s reach, the company said. Opzelura and Jakafi brought Incyte to blockbuster fourth-quarter sales last year, reflecting what the company’s North America general manager Barry Flannelly called “one of the best recent dermatology launches” on Opzelura’s part following its 2021 approval. More recently over this year’s first quarter, sales for both Opzelura and Jakafi sank on a quarterly basis, missing analyst’s consensus. While Jakafi was impacted by higher inventory drawdown and Opzelura by Change Helathcare’s cyberattack, the explanations “still will not provide investors with data point to suggest there is upside to estimates in the near term,” analysts at William Blair wrote in a note to clients. Opzelura pulled first-quarter revenues of $86 million, dipping 21.5% from the fourth quarter.
