FDA Approves Cosentyx for Hidradenitis Suppurativa Relief - 0 views

  •  
    The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Novartis drug, Cosentyx, (secukinumab) to treat moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in adults. HS is a chronic, progressive and painful disease which affects one in 100 people worldwide, and has limited treatment options. "Cosentyx is the only FDA-approved fully human biologic that directly inhibits interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a cytokine believed to be involved in the inflammation of HS," said the Swiss company. The FDA approval was based on robust Phase III data (SUNSHINE and SUNRISE studies) in which Cosentyx showed rapid relief from HS symptoms as early as Week 21.
