ICD 2025: New data demonstrate Nemluvio ® 's (nemolizumab) favorable safety profile and sustained and clinically meaningful improvements in symptoms of prurigo nodularis up to two years

Business Wire5 days ago

ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma (SIX: GALD) today announced data from a new interim analysis of a study investigating the long-term safety and efficacy of Nemluvio in moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis. The new data show Nemluvio is well tolerated and associated with sustained and clinically meaningful improvements in symptoms including itch and skin lesions, during prolonged treatment up to two years. 1 These new data will be presented as a late-breaking session at ICD, on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 08:30 AM CET.
Prurigo nodularis is a chronic, debilitating, and distinct neuroimmune skin disease characterized by the presence of intense itch and thick skin nodules, which have a substantial impact on patients' quality of life. 5-7 Nemluvio is the first approved monoclonal antibody that specifically targets the IL-31 receptor alpha, inhibiting the signaling of IL-31. 8,9,10 IL-31 is a neuroimmune cytokine that drives itch and is involved in inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and fibrosis in prurigo nodularis. 8-11 It is also the first and only biologic approved for prurigo nodularis as well as atopic dermatitis with four-week dosing intervals from the start of treatment. 9,10
The OLYMPIA long-term extension study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Nemluvio in patients with prurigo nodularis up to four years and includes 508 patients from the phase II trial or the phase III OLYMPIA 1 and 2 trials. 1 Results show that treatment with Nemluvio is associated with sustained and clinically meaningful improvements in symptoms of prurigo nodularis during prolonged treatment up to two years. 1 At Week 100 in evaluable patients, the interim analysis shows that:
More than 90% and 70% achieved at least a four-point improvement in itch, and being itch free or nearly itch free respectively, as measured by the Peak-Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale 1
At least 80% achieved 76‑100% healed pruriginous lesions 1
Approximately 75% reached clearance or almost-clearance of skin nodules when assessed using the Investigator's Global Assessment score 1
Nemluvio was well tolerated in the long-term treatment of prurigo nodularis and no new safety signals were identified in this study to date. 1
'These impressive results give us even more confidence in the value of nemolizumab – a much-needed innovative medicine that has the potential to deeply impact the prurigo nodularis treatment landscape. With this new treatment now approved in multiple markets including the EU and U.S., I'm thrilled to be able to see its meaningful impact in the real world.'

This follows presentation of results from the ARCADIA long-term extension study at the RAD Conference earlier this month, which showed that treatment with Nemluvio was well tolerated and associated with sustained and increased improvements in symptoms of atopic dermatitis during prolonged treatment up to two years. 4
Nemluvio was first approved in August 2024 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) for the treatment of adults with prurigo nodularis. 9 In December 2024, it was also approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, in combination with topical corticosteroids and/or calcineurin inhibitors when the disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies. 9 To date, Nemluvio is approved for both moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis by multiple regulatory authorities around the world, including the European Commission. Additional reviews and submissions are ongoing.
Galderma will also host a symposium at ICD, exploring the latest advances in addressing itch in both prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis. Separately, the company will share new data from across its Therapeutic Dermatology portfolio in acne, non-melanoma skin cancer, and rosacea.

New Data Show Delve Bio's Metagenomic Testing Delivers Broader, Deeper Pathogen Identification Compared to Traditional Testing

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Delve Bio, a pioneer in metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for infectious diseases, today announced data presented at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Microbe conference in Los Angeles showing the impact of metagenomic sequencing for transforming infectious disease diagnostics by offering advances compared to traditional microbiological testing. "Delve Bio's metagenomic sequencing technology enables clinicians to identify the cause of serious central nervous system infections when existing methods do not and speed is critical' said Brad Murray, chief executive officer of Delve Bio. Among the data presented at the meeting is a comparison of Delve's metagenomic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test, Delve Detect CSF, compared to a traditional PCR-based meningitis/encephalitis (ME) panel. The study reanalyzed samples from a diverse patient cohort previously tested using the ME panel. The data showed that mNGS can be used in conjunction with microbiological testing to increase diagnostic yield by identifying pathogens that are not detectable with traditional, pathogen-specific panel testing. The inclusion of mNGS tests like Delve Detect, which has a 48-hour turnaround time, can shorten time to diagnosis, enabling clinicians to initiate targeted therapies sooner. 'This study showed substantial agreement between Delve Detect and a syndromic PCR panel. But importantly, Delve Detect also identified pathogens that were not included on the PCR panel and would have been missed as causes of a patient's infection if mNGS were not included in the diagnostic workup,' said Benjamin Bradley, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of virology and molecular infectious diseases at ARUP Laboratories. 'This study supports including mNGS in the diagnostic workup for patients with complex central nervous system infections.' The study included 122 samples — 47 positive and 75 negative. Analysis showed that in comparison with the ME panel, Delve Detect CSF demonstrated approximately 10% higher positivity rate (48% vs. 38%), with an additive diagnostic yield of 24%. This added yield included detection of multiple co-infections, 16 unique organisms not included in the ME panel, and positive detections in 19 samples (25%) that were negative by the ME panel. Additionally, in samples that were negative by both tests, Delve Detect CSF showed high agreement (95%) with the ME panel, supporting the negative predictive value of mNGS. The company's full presence at ASM Microbe 2025 includes: Delve's chief medical officer Steve Miller, M.D., Ph.D. hosted A New Era: Metagenomic Sequencing for Comprehensive Pathogen Detection, exploring real world evidence, clinical cases and considerations for laboratory teams implementing mNGS. Presentation of a case report in a feature poster, Using Metagenomic Sequencing to Diagnose a Novel Moraxella CNS Shunt Infection in a Culture-Negative Case Presentation of data comparing the company's mNGS CSF test, Delve Detect, to a widely used, PCR meningitis/encephalitis panel as part of the session Assessing the Clinical Impact of Next-Generation Sequencing: Where Are We Now? 'These presentations at ASM highlight the transformation underway in infectious disease diagnostics. Delve Bio's metagenomic sequencing technology enables clinicians to identify the cause of serious central nervous system infections when existing methods do not deliver a diagnosis and speed is critical,' said Brad Murray, chief executive officer of Delve Bio. 'We're working to make this technology more widely available to neurologists, infectious disease physicians and laboratory teams so they can get patients the answers they need.' Conference attendees are also invited to visit Delve Bio at booth #1440 to learn more about the company's metagenomic platform, including Delve Detect and its proprietary bioinformatics platform Delve Decide. Delve Detect is Delve Bio's flagship metagenomic testing service, providing comprehensive pathogen detection with a 48-hour turnaround time after sample receipt and including access to Delve's Clinical Microbial Sequencing Board, an on-call team of infectious disease experts who review results in clinical context. About Delve Bio, Inc.

Exelixis Announces Zanzalintinib in Combination with an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Improved Overall Survival in STELLAR-303 Phase 3 Pivotal Trial in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced positive topline results from the STELLAR-303 phase 3 pivotal trial in which zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq ®) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) versus regorafenib in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population of patients with previously treated non-microsatellite instability (MSI)-high metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). These topline findings are from the final analysis conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee of one of the dual primary endpoints of the STELLAR-303 phase 3 trial. The trial will proceed to the planned final analysis for the other dual primary endpoint of OS in patients without liver metastases (non-liver metastases, NLM). The safety profiles of zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab and of regorafenib were generally consistent with what has been previously observed, and no new safety signals were identified. The ITT population consisted of all randomized patients, regardless of the presence of liver metastases. The NLM subgroup consisted of patients who did not have active liver metastases at baseline as determined by investigator assessment. 'The STELLAR-303 results, which showed a survival benefit with the combination of zanzalintinib and atezolizumab versus regorafenib across all randomized patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer, marks an important first milestone for our zanzalintinib pivotal development program,' said Amy Peterson, M.D., Executive Vice President, Product Development & Medical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer, Exelixis. 'We look forward to discussing the findings with regulatory authorities and presenting the detailed results at an upcoming medical conference.' Secondary endpoints of STELLAR-303 include progression-free survival, objective response rate and duration of response in the ITT population and in the NLM subgroup of patients. Exelixis plans to submit detailed results of STELLAR-303 for presentation at an upcoming medical conference. About STELLAR-303 STELLAR-303 (NCT05425940) is a global, multicenter, randomized, phase 3, open-label study that randomized 901 patients 1:1 to either zanzalintinib (100 mg) in combination with atezolizumab or regorafenib. The study includes patients with previously treated non-MSI-high metastatic CRC. The dual primary endpoints of the study are OS in the ITT population and in the NLM subgroup of patients. Presence of liver metastases at baseline for all enrolled patients was determined by investigator assessment. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, objective response rate and duration of response in the ITT population and in the NLM subgroup of patients. More information about the trial is available at About Zanzalintinib Zanzalintinib is a third-generation oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the activity of receptor tyrosine kinases implicated in cancer growth and spread, including VEGF receptors, MET, AXL and MER. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and in pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis and resistance to multiple therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors. With zanzalintinib, Exelixis sought to build upon its extensive experience with the target profile of cabozantinib, the company's flagship medicine, while improving key characteristics, including pharmacokinetic half-life. Zanzalintinib is currently being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, head and neck cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Zanzalintinib is an investigational agent that is not approved for any use and is the subject of ongoing clinical trials. About CRC CRC is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. 1 Approximately 154,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. with around 53,000 expected deaths from the disease in 2025. 1 CRC is most frequently diagnosed among people aged 65-74 and is more common in men and in people of non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native descent. 2 Nearly a quarter of CRC cases are diagnosed at the metastatic stage, at which point the five-year survival rate is just 16.2%. 2 The liver is the most common site for CRC metastasis. Liver metastases significantly impact survival, with a median five-year survival rate of less than 14% when treated with palliative chemotherapy. 3 About Exelixis Exelixis is a globally ambitious oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and regimens at the forefront of cancer care.

GE HealthCare drives innovation in theranostics with latest technological advances

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At this year's Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting, GE HealthCare is spotlighting the future of precision care with its innovative portfolio of theranostics-enabling solutions designed to help drive clinical and operational excellence. Making its debut, GE HealthCare's MIM Software introduces LesionID Pro with automated zero-click pre-processing i – an AI-powered innovation to help aid physician decision making and therapy response monitoring. 'Precision care is the future of oncology—and theranostics is at the heart of that future. The integration of advanced imaging and AI-powered software is accelerating the adoption of theranostics in clinical practice,' shares Shyam Srinivas, MD, PhD, Chief Share With cancer accounting for over 10 million deaths globally each year, ii the rise of precision care – particularly theranostics – is offering new hope to patients. By combining advanced diagnostic imaging and radiopharmaceuticals with targeted therapies, theranostics enables a personalized, patient-centric approach that may help improve disease detection, treatment accuracy, and overall quality of life. 'Precision care is the future of oncology—and theranostics is at the heart of that future. The integration of advanced imaging and AI-powered software is accelerating the adoption of theranostics in clinical practice,' shares Shyam Srinivas, MD, PhD, Chief of Nuclear Medicine, Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California, Irvine. 'With tools like GE HealthCare's Omni Legend, StarGuide, and MIM software at our disposal, we now have the ability to visualize disease with great clarity, quantify tumor burden efficiently, and make fast, informed decisions. These advancements are not only helping enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapy monitoring but are also opening the door to dosimetry—ultimately helping improve outcomes for our patients. This is precision care in action, and it's making a real difference in patients' lives.' Central to the practice of theranostics is molecular imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), which provides detailed, patient-specific insights to guide and monitor treatment. However, accessing these insights – like whole-body tumor burden, which represents the total amount of cancer is in the body – has traditionally required time-consuming manual analysis, resulting in clinical and operational challenges. In response, GE HealthCare's MIM Software is introducing LesionID Pro with automated zero-click pre-processing, i designed with AI-powered automation to help physicians access reliable whole-body tumor burden statistics without having to spend hours manually segmenting lesions, removing normal physiologic uptake, and registering multiple patient images for comparison. In addition to turning manual pre-processing into a zero-click experience, this new version of LesionID Pro comes with significant algorithm improvements that provide physicians with a precise whole-body tumor volume to review and finalize. Intuitive, user-friendly tools were intentionally designed with input from leading theranostics practitioners with the ultimate goal of making whole-body tumor burden analysis a practical clinical reality and help shorten physicians' time-to-report. 'At GE HealthCare, we are dedicated to providing clinicians the precision care tools needed for the adoption and practice of theranostics,' shares Jean-Luc Procaccini, President & CEO, Molecular Imaging & Computed Tomography, GE HealthCare. 'We designed our portfolio of precision care solutions to evolve with healthcare system needs and help support a patient's entire care journey – from the imaging equipment needed for a noninvasive look at a patient's anatomy and treatment monitoring, to novel radiopharmaceuticals used to diagnose and monitor disease and the systems required to produce them, to the software optimized to enable data-driven decision-making. In the hands of clinicians, these tools help advance the global practice of personalized medicine and help improve patient outcomes.' Also on display at #SNMMI25, as part of GE HealthCare's comprehensive portfolio of theranostics-enabling solutions for clinical and operational excellence, are the following innovations: MINItrace Magni, iii GE HealthCare's newest cyclotron technology, designed with a small footprint (about the size of a commercial refrigerator) and the goal of providing an easy-to-site, easy-to-install solution for the reliable, in-house production of commercial PET tracers and radiometals, including Gallium-68, used in diagnostic imaging to support personalized care plans. Adoption of such easy-to-site, easy-to-install technology may help enhance the capabilities of the healthcare system but also grant clinicians the ability to offer a variety of tracers to their patients and encourage the practice of precision care locally, helping fuel inhouse Theranostics capabilities. Omni Legend is a performance-focused PET/CT designed to evolve and help meet growing healthcare system demands by enabling clinicians to reduce dose by up to 40% iv while maintaining exceptional image quality. Supportive of the diagnostic portion of theranostics, the system continues to gain in popularity, representing the company's fastest-ever-selling PET/CT. v StarGuide is a digital SPECT/CT with a 12 CZT detector design that delivers high-quality 3D images and short scan times. Optimized for certain theranostic procedures, the system is designed to help clinicians pinpoint the size, shape, and position of lesions and monitor therapy with exceptional precision. Its flexibility in patient scanning and workflow efficiencies also support high patient throughput and help reduce complexity. For oncology patients, especially those in pain, short scans can help enhance comfort and overall experience. Aurora is an advanced dual-head SPECT/CT designed with excellent diagnostic capabilities vi and streamline workflows, offering clinicians excellent image quality and operational efficiency. Its CT has a 40 mm detector – twice the detector coverage compared to CTs of other hybrid systems vii – with the ability to reduce the dose up to 82%, viii support accurate quantitation, and help clinicians make the personalized care decisions that are at the heart of theranostics. Theranostics Pathway Manager Tile is an easy-to-use application, available on GE HealthCare's Command Center software, that is designed to simplify the time-consuming task of coordinating the theranostics care pathway. It does so by tracking patient readiness for therapy, eliminating the need for manual data gathering across disparate systems (e.g., labs, scheduling, ordering, spreadsheets), and providing a unified, up-to-date view of each patient's treatment journey. Oregon Health & Science University will be an early adopter. 'Every day counts when it comes to cancer care. The latest theranostics solutions will help our care teams more quickly and easily keep tabs on patient readiness and reduce patient coordination time—freeing up more time for clinicians to focus on direct patient care,' says Erik Mittra, M.D., Ph.D., professor of diagnostic radiology in the at Oregon Health & Science University. Altogether, GE HealthCare has the unique ability to provide solutions along every step of the theranostics care pathway. Our integrated portfolio of solutions provides clinicians with the isotopes, imaging, informatics, and molecular imaging agents necessary for the practice and advancement of precision care.
