Boehringer Ingelheim announced that SPEVIGO® (spesolimab) has been recognized as Best Orphan/Rare Diseases Solution of 2023 by the Galien Foundation.
Prix Galien Foundation fosters, recognizes and rewards excellence in scientific innovation to improve the state of human health. In 2022 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved spesolimab as a treatment option for GPP flares in adults and the European Medicine Agency granted a conditional market authorization as first-in-class treatment option for GPP flares in adults.
Late-breaking data from the EFFISAYIL™ 2 trial presented in 2023 showed that spesolimab prevents GPP flares. It significantly reduced the risk of occurrence of GPP flares by 84% over 48 weeks compared to placebo. Furthermore, the trial with 123 patients demonstrated no flares after Week 4 of spesolimab treatment in the high dose group1. Boehringer Ingelheim has submitted spesolimab for regulatory approval based on these data to, not only provide patients with a specific treatment for GPP flares but moving forward also for the prevention of flares.
