WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) Thursday announced that it will be regaining the full rights to REZPEG from Eli Lilly and Company. The company further plans to initiate a Phase 2b study in atopic dermatitis.
EZPEG evidenced a dose-dependent improvement over placebo for key efficacy measures of mean change in EASI, EASI-75, vIGA-AD scores, and Itch NRS ?4-point scales. These improvements were observed for an additional 36 weeks following the 12-week treatment period.
Howard W. Robin, President and CEO of Nektar said, 'We believe the strong data generated to-date for REZPEG in atopic dermatitis show the significant potential for REZPEG to emerge as an innovative new mechanism with the possibility of disease resolution in a growing biologic treatment field.'
