Key Points:

  • Corvus Pharmaceuticals announced updated results from an early-stage study of soquelitinib, an oral treatment for eczema with potential to outperform existing therapies like Dupixent.
  • After eight weeks, 75% of participants taking soquelitinib achieved at least a 75% improvement in skin lesion severity (EASI 75), compared to 20% in the placebo group.
  • Additionally, 33% of treated participants attained clear or almost clear skin after eight weeks, while none in the placebo group reached this outcome.
