Frequently asked questions about Pimecrolimus

What is Pimecrolimus used for?

Pimecrolimus is a small molecule used for atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema. It is being developed by Viatris Inc. (VTRS) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. The drug is being studied for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients as young as 3 months of age.

What does Pimecrolimus target?

Pimecrolimus is a topical calcineurin inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the enzyme calcineurin, which plays a role in the activation of T-cells and the inflammatory response. This mechanism helps to reduce the inflammation and itching associated with atopic dermatitis.

Who makes Pimecrolimus?

Pimecrolimus is being developed by Viatris Inc., a global healthcare company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker VTRS. The company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating atopic dermatitis.

What phase is Pimecrolimus in?

Pimecrolimus is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total of 3,072 participants enrolled across studies in the United States, Germany, Dominican Republic, and Honduras.

What clinical trials is Pimecrolimus in?

Pimecrolimus has two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT00120523 is a 5-year safety study in infants aged 3 to 12 months with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, enrolling 2,418 participants. NCT03107611 is a bioequivalence study comparing Pimecrolimus cream 1% to Elidel cream 1% in patients aged 8 years and older, enrolling 654 participants.

Is Pimecrolimus the same as Elidel?

Pimecrolimus is the active ingredient in Elidel cream. The bioequivalence study NCT03107611 compared Pimecrolimus cream 1% to Elidel cream 1% to determine if the generic version is equivalent to the brand-name product. Both contain the same active ingredient at the same concentration.
