Galderma has announced it will be showcasing its latest scientific updates at the 31st European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) congress in Milan, September 7-10, 2022. These include on-site clinical data presentations, a symposia series and booth activities, all focusing on serving patients by providing options across the Therapeutic Dermatology, Dermo-cosmetics and Injectable Aesthetics categories. As the pure-play dermatology leader, Galderma’s significant presence at EADV reaffirms its commitment to delivering a truly innovative, science-based portfolio of premium cutting-edge brands and services.

The latest science presented by Galderma at EADV reflects the company’s significant investments in research and development with large trials across multiple indications for severe conditions such as prurigo nodularis, atopic dermatitis, acne, rosacea, non-melanoma skin cancer and onychomycosis. For over 40 years, Galderma has solely focused on dermatology and has proven to be one of the few players capable of providing not only best-in-class product solutions but also first-in-class solutions with new innovative modes of action. Today, Galderma is a leading scientific voice in these disease areas and remains committed to delivering further advances for patients with these and other severe skin concerns.

One of the most awaited updates from the company this year will be a focus on IL-31, a neuroimmune cytokine that has been demonstrated to be a central mediator in prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis. The cytokine acts as a bridge between the immune and nervous systems and plays a crucial role in igniting and fueling the pathophysiological aspects, including itch and inflammation1,2. Two symposia and eight scientific posters will examine the disease burden, the role of IL-31 in these inflammatory skin conditions and treatments under development.

Another area of focus for Galderma will be on sensitive skin, which affects a major portion of the population with over 70% of women reporting suffering from its effects3. With its strong consumer skin range dedicated to sensitive skin including Cetaphil and the recent acquisition of Alastin Skincare, Galderma understands the need for specifically designed treatments and personalized skincare regimes. At the EADV this year, Galderma, along with key opinion leaders, will be challenging the existing paradigms on sensitive skin and challenging the community on whether it should be considered as a standalone skin condition.

Other skin conditions that drive patients to their dermatologist are acne, rosacea, actinic keratosis and non-melanoma skin cancer, conditions that affect a significant cross-section of society. Galderma has been researching these conditions and bringing innovative products to patients and consumers for decades. At EADV, the company will present new data and host scientific meetings and discussions to look at novel patient-centered, holistic approaches in each of these areas to support the identification of the best personalized treatment regimens for each patient.

Galderma’s significant presence at EADV this year reflects its expertise across these common and often severe skin conditions and is testament to its commitment to advancing dermatology for every skin story.

 

“We look forward to engaging with the dermatology community at the
EADV congress to exchange information, share insights and
showcase our recent developments and data spanning the full
spectrum of dermatology. This reinforces our enduring commitment to
understanding the needs of patients and consumers and developing
truly innovative dermatological solutions.”

New ECCO data show subcutaneous (SC) infliximab (Remsima ™ SC) effectively recaptures and maintains disease control after drug holiday16.2.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release

Celltrion, Inc. today announced new data from a post-hoc analysis of the pivotal LIBERTY studies (LIBERTY-CD and LIBERTY-UC), showing that subcutaneous (SC) infliximab restored and maintained response in most Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with sustained efficacy, safety, and persistence through to Week 102.1 The data will be presented as a poster presentation at the 21st Congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO), to be held from February 18-21 in Stockholm, Sweden. “As immunogenicity is the most significant concern when restarting treatment with infliximab after an interruption, these results suggest that treatment persistence was maintained even in patients with immunogenicity,” said Dr. Marla Dubinsky, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the IBD Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “It's reassuring to see that not only can we effectively recapture disease control with a convenient subcutaneous option, but that t
