NICE recommends Ebglyss for NHS use
UK health technology assessor the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended Ebglyss (lebrikizumab) for use in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in the National Health Service (NHS) in England.
Marketed by Spain’s largest drugmaker, Almirall (BME: ALM), lebrikizumab is indicated for the treatment of adult and adolescent patients (12 years and older with a body weight of at least 40 kg) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), who are candidates for systemic therapy. The treatment was approved by the European Commission and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in December 2023.
In the UK, around 5.2 million adults (7.7%, 18-74 years) and 2.5 million children (18%, 0-17 years) have moderate or severe atopic dermatitis, also commonly referred to as atopic eczema.
