Lilly to Present Data Demonstrating Continued Scientific Advancements in Broad Dermatology Portfolio at AAD Annual Meeting
INDIANAPOLIS, March 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced that it will present data for Taltz(®) (ixekizumab) and mirikizumab at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) annual meeting taking place March 1-5, 2019 in Washington, DC.
The data include 20 abstracts for Taltz, featuring ten oral presentations and notable results from the UNCOVER-3 and IXORA-Q trials. Lilly will present long-term efficacy (4 years) and safety (exposures up to 5 years) data on Taltz in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, as well as data on onset of action, genital psoriasis and sustained efficacy and safety. These studies, which include seven presentations demonstrating real world evidence in addition to results from clinical trials, reflect the breadth of data collected on Taltz in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis.
Additionally, Lilly will present data regarding short- and long-term efficacy, safety and patient-rated outcomes for its investigational product, mirikizumab, in four abstracts from a Phase 2 study evaluating patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Lilly will also present two abstracts highlighting real world data on the healthcare resource utilization and costs associated with atopic dermatitis and a global investigator's assessment scale to help define a clinically meaningful response in the treatment of alopecia areata.
"At Lilly, we recognize the impact autoimmune diseases such as moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis have on patients' lives, and we're dedicated to leveraging our deep scientific expertise to find treatment options that best meet individual needs," said Lotus Mallbris, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of immunology development at Lilly. "By exploring treatments that inhibit IL-17A, IL-23 and JAK cytokines, Lilly is working to build a dermatology portfolio that will provide flexibility for dermatologists and their patients."
Studies, as well as the times and locations of the data sessions, are highlighted below.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE FOR TALTZ (ixekizumab) injection
Taltz is approved for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis. Taltz is also approved to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TALTZ
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Taltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Infections
Taltz may increase the risk of infection. In clinical trials of patients with plaque psoriasis, the Taltz group had a higher rate of infections than the placebo group (27% vs 23%). A similar increase in risk of infection was seen in placebo-controlled trials of patients with psoriatic arthritis. Serious infections have occurred. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a serious infection develops, discontinue Taltz until the infection resolves.
Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis
Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Taltz. Do not administer to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Taltz. Closely monitor patients receiving Taltz for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.
Hypersensitivity
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria (each <=0.1%), occurred in the Taltz group in clinical trials. Anaphylaxis, including cases leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post-marketing use with Taltz. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Taltz immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including exacerbations, occurred at a greater frequency in the Taltz group (Crohn's disease 0.1%, ulcerative colitis 0.2%) than in the placebo group (0%) during clinical trials in patients with plaque psoriasis. During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for onset or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunizations
Prior to initiating therapy with Taltz, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Taltz.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions (>1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, and tinea infections. Overall, the safety profile observed in patients with psoriatic arthritis was consistent with the safety profile in patients with plaque psoriasis, with the exception of influenza and conjunctivitis.

About Taltz(®
)Taltz (ixekizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with interleukin 17A (IL-17A) cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-17 receptor.((i)) IL-17A is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Taltz inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.(1)
About Mirikizumab
Mirikizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to the P19 subunit of interleukin 23. Mirikizumab is being studied for the treatment of immune diseases, including psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
