As per the official meeting minutes, “In light of earlier SEC recommendation dated 15.02.2022, firm presented Phase III CT report of Abrocitinib 100 mg and 200 mg Tablets before the committee.”

After detailed deliberation, the committee considered the Phase III clinical trial result of Abrocitinib 100 mg and 200 mg Tablets as presented by the firm.

Abrocitinib is a selective Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in patients who are candidates for systemic therapy. The purpose of the Phase III trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug in the target population.

The committee’s latest recommendation did not specify any objections, queries, or additional conditions, suggesting that the Phase III data was accepted as presented.
