Norvatis: New study shows Elidel® provides sustained control of eczema
The objective of the multinational study was to evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of Elidel in paediatric and adult patients with eczema of any severity, who had previously completed a six-month core study demonstrating the effectiveness of Elidel in controlling the acute signs and symptoms of atopic eczema. The extension study included 368 of these patients, who were treated for up to 18 months. Patients experienced sustained relief of their eczema symptoms (up to 18 months) when treated with Elidel in a naturalistic setting, i.e. in a clinical study that closely replicated real life. In the core study, 79.6% of patients who had used Elidel twice-daily experienced relief from the itching (pruritis) associated with mild to moderate eczema, defined as an improvement in symptoms to absent/mild pruritus.
