Pfizer said a Phase 2 study of tilrekimig met its key goals in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, the most common form of eczema, and that it plans to accelerate the drug candidate into Phase 3 development.

Pfizer on Monday said tilrekimig showed a statistically significant increase in the percentage of participants achieving at least a 75% reduction in a measure of the extent and severity of eczema.

The New York drugmaker said tilrekimig was well-tolerated, with a favorable safety profile and no dose-dependent safety signals.

Pfizer said a pivotal study of tilrekimig in atopic dermatitis is on track to start this later year. The company is also studying tilrekimig in a Phase 2 trial in asthma and recently launched a Phase 2b/3 study of tilrekimig in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
