Meda's Zyclara approved in the EU
Sweden-based Meda (OMX: MEDA A) yesterday announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Zyclara (imiquimod 3.75% cream), a patented product for the treatment of actinic keratosis. The approval is valid in all European Union countries.
"Skin cancer is increasing and it is important to develop and improve the treatment of actinic keratosis. Zyclara is unique since it can treat large areas of the skin", said Anders Lonner, chief executive of Meda.
Actinic keratosis (AK), early skin carcinoma in situ is an under-diagnosed and under-treated disease and the number of affected patients is increasing. There is a close regional coexistence of invisible (subclinical AK lesions) as well as clinical visible AK lesions on areas of sun exposed skin - a phenomenon which is called field cancerization, the company noted.
