Novartis said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved
its drug Cosentyx for the treatment of the hidradenitis suppurativa
skin condition.
Novartis said late Tuesday that the approval of the drug is the
first of a new biologic treatment option for the condition in
nearly a decade.
The regulator's approval was based on data compiled in the
Sunshine and Sunrise Phase 3 study program, Novartis said.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and systemic skin disease
which causes boil-like bumps that can burst and cause scarring, the
company said.
Novartis said there has previously only been one other treatment
option for the condition.
