HELLERUP, Denmark, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UNION therapeutics A/S (UNION), a privately held, clinical stage, pharmaceutical development company focused on immunology, today announced ADESOS Phase 2b results selected as a late-breaking oral presentation at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV) Congress 2024 on September 25-28, 2024, in Amsterdam, Holland. New data from the ADESOS Phase 2b study of orismilast in AD will be presented by Prof. Dr. Eric Simpson.

The efficacy and safety results of orismilast from the Phase 2b ADESOS trial will also be presented as an poster. Additionally, one poster on the molecular effects in the skin of AD patients after oral orismilast treatment will be presented.

"Despite the current developments of new treatments in AD, there is a clear need for safe and efficacious oral treatments. Impact on patients' experience of itch and pain along with lesional improvements are key to determine the relevance of a treatment", says Prof. Dr. Eric Simpson. "I am excited to present the results from the Phase 2b ADESOS study at the EADV Congress 2024, showing that orismilast offers the promise as a novel treatment option in AD with early impact on patients' burden of disease, including significant itch reduction from 1 week of treatment."

"Additionally, we appreciate the opportunity to present two posters on ADESOS Phase 2b results and the molecular effects in the skin after treatment with orismilast, following the pioneering use of tape strips to analyze the effect on relevant disease biomarkers.

About orismilast

Orismilast is a next generation, high potency PDE4 inhibitor targeting the PDE4B/D subtypes linked to inflammation, demonstrating potent inhibition of Th1, Th2 and Th17 pathways. It acts early in the inflammation cascade, inducing a broad range of anti-inflammatory effects across multiple cytokines involved in many dermatological and immunological diseases.1) 

UNION is developing orismilast as an oral treatment across immunology. Based on the well-known safety profile of the PDE4 class, initially targeting best-in-class or first-in-class positions in atopic dermatitis (AD), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), psoriasis and ulcerative colitis (UC).

The FDA has cleared UNION's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for orismilast and granted Fast Track designation for orismilast for the treatment of moderate to severe AD as well as for the treatment of moderate to severe HS.
