- Almirall advances scientific leadership in medical dermatology with new data across atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, actinic keratosis and acne, reinforcing its commitment to improving patient outcomes.
- More than 15 posters will be presented at the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, including 9 on lebrikizumab, new analyses for tirbanibulin, two on tildrakizumab showing the final 2 year results of the POSITIVE study on patient wellbeing, and new results and analysis for sarecycline.
Almirall S.A. (ALM), a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to medical dermatology, is presenting a broad range of clinical and real-world data across its portfolio at the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting. The company's presence includes more than 15 scientific posters, led by 9 lebrikizumab presentations in atopic dermatitis (AD), new analyses on tirbanibulin (AK), two on tildrakizumab from the POSITIVE study, and two sarecycline pooled Phase 3 evaluations in acne.
"Our goal is to bring meaningful, evidence-based treatment options to people living with skin diseases. The breadth of data we are sharing at AAD 2026 from long-term results and real-world evidence for lebrikizumab to clinically relevant AK endpoints with tirbanibulin reflects our commitment to rigorous science, patient-centred outcomes, and strong collaboration with dermatology partners," said Dr. Volker Koscielny, Almirall's Chief Medical Officer
"AAD is an important moment each year to demonstrate our dedication to advancing medical dermatology and patient care. The new data we are sharing underline the real progress made across multiple skin diseases, and our commitment to bringing dermatologists evidence that supports better decision-making and better care for their patients," said Paul Rittman, President General Manager, Almirall U.S.
Almirall's presence at AAD 2026 is an important opportunity to connect with healthcare professionals, partners, and industry peers. AAD 2026 is a leading international forum for medical dermatology expertise and collaboration and takes place March 27-31 in Denver, Colorado.

About Klisyri (tirbanibulin) ointment, 1%:
INDICATION
KLISYRI is a microtubule inhibitor indicated for the topical field treatment of actinic keratosis on the face or scalp.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Ophthalmic Adverse Reactions
Klisyri may cause eye irritation. Avoid transfer of the drug into the eyes and to the periocular area during and after application. Wash hands immediately after application. If accidental exposure occurs, instruct patient to flush eyes with water and seek medical care as soon as possible.
Local Skin Reactions
Local skin reactions, including severe reactions (erythema, flaking/scaling, crusting, swelling, vesiculation/pustulation, and erosion/ulceration) in the treated area can occur after topical application of Klisyri. Avoid use until skin is healed from any previous drug, procedure, or surgical treatment. Occlusion after topical application of Klisyri is more likely to result in irritation.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions (incidence =2%) were local skin reactions, application site pruritus, and application site pain.

About Seysara (sarecycline) tablets:
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
SEYSARA (sarecycline) tablet 60/100/150 mg, is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older.
Limitations of Use:Efficacy of SEYSARA beyond 12 weeks and safety beyond 12 months have not been established. SEYSARA has not been evaluated in the treatment of infections. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria as well as to maintain the effectiveness of other antibacterial drugs, SEYSARA should be used only as indicated.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
SEYSARA is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- Like other tetracyclines, SEYSARA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If SEYSARA is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking SEYSARA, the patient should be informed of the potential hazard to the fetus and treatment should be stopped immediately.
- The use of SEYSARA during tooth development (second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown).
- Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. If Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (antibiotic associated colitis) occurs, discontinue SEYSARA.
- Central nervous system side effects, including light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo, have been reported with tetracycline use. Patients who experience these symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and may disappear when the drug is discontinued.
- Intracranial hypertension in adults and adolescents has been associated with the use of tetracyclines. Clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision and papilledema. Although signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension resolve after discontinuation of treatment, the possibility for sequelae such as visual loss that may be permanent or severe exists. Concomitant use of isotretinoin and SEYSARA should be avoided because isotretinoin, a systemic retinoid, is also known to cause intracranial hypertension.
- Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using SEYSARA.
- Bacterial resistance to tetracyclines may develop in patients using SEYSARA. Because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of SEYSARA, it should only be used as indicated.
- As with other antibiotic preparations, use of SEYSARA may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, SEYSARA should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reaction (incidence =1%) was nausea: SEYSARA 3.1% vs placebo 2.0%.

About Ilumya (tildrakizumab-asmn):
INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ILUMYA (tildrakizumab-asmn) is indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ILUMYA is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to tildrakizumab or to any of the excipients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity
Cases of angioedema and urticaria occurred in ILUMYA-treated subjects in clinical trials. If a serious allergic reaction occurs, discontinue ILUMYA immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
Infections
ILUMYA may increase the risk of infection. Treatment with ILUMYA should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated.
Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing ILUMYA in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving ILUMYA to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and consider discontinuation of ILUMYA until the infection resolves.
Pretreatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis
Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with ILUMYA. Do not administer ILUMYA to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering ILUMYA. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of ILUMYA in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Patients receiving ILUMYA should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.
Immunizations
Prior to initiating therapy with ILUMYA, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Patients treated with ILUMYA should not receive live vaccines.
Adverse Reactions
The most common (=1%) adverse reactions associated with ILUMYA treatment that were more frequent than in the placebo group are upper respiratory infections, injection-site reactions, and diarrhea.
