Belgian pharmaceutical company UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB) and US dermatological firm Dermira (Nasdaq: DERM) have presented new 48-week data from three Phase III trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) in adults with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

The data was presented at the ongoing 26th European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Switzerland, and includes findings from the CIMPASI-1, CIMPASI-2 and CIMPACT trials.

CIMPASI-1 and CIMPASI-2 are randomized, blinded, parallel group, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials that have previously reported statistically and clinically significant improvements at week 16 in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis treated with Cimzia compared to placebo.
