Novartis Reports Cosentyx P-III trial met 1 & 2 EPs for Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
Shots:
- Novartis has reported that Cosentyx met all 1 & 2 EPs in the P-III trial in adults with PMR
- The global P-III (REPLENISH) trial showed that Cosentyx (secukinumab) significantly improved sustained remission at Wk 52 in PMR pts vs PBO, with a reduced steroid dose and a safety profile consistent with prior use. Conducted across 27 countries, the study tested Cosentyx 300mg or 150mg plus a 24-wk steroid taper. Results support Cosentyx as a potential new targeted treatment for PMR, a common inflammatory disease in adults 50+. Data will be presented at a future medical congress and submitted to regulators in H1’26
- Cosentyx is a fully human biologic that blocks interleukin-17A, a key driver of inflammation in various immune-mediated diseases
