LEO Pharma presented new tralokinumab data at EADV 2026, highlighting real-world outcomes and quality of life improvements in adults and adolescents with atopic dermatitis (AD) involving high-burden areas.
Subgroup analysis from the TRACE study showed significant reductions in affected high-burden areas (head and neck, hands and feet, genitals) after 12 months of tralokinumab treatment.
ADHAND trial data demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life and hand eczema impact scale (HEIS) scores for tralokinumab monotherapy compared to placebo.
Long-term disease control and safety data in adolescents showed stable outcomes over approximately three years across ECZTRA 6 and ECZTEND trials.
