J&J: positive results for icotrokinra in psoriasis
(CercleFinance.com) - Johnson & Johnson announces positive results from a Phase 3 study of icotrokinra (JNJ-2113) for patients aged 12 and over with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The study met its primary endpoints, with 64.7% of patients achieving clear or almost clear skin and 49.6% achieving a 90% reduction in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) at 16 weeks, compared with 8.3% and 4.4% for placebo. These rates continued to increase at 24 weeks.
Safety data were consistent with previous studies, with a similar frequency of adverse events between icotrokinra and placebo.
Further results will be presented shortly.
Icotrokinra could meet patients' needs with daily oral therapy, it said.
