FDA Approves Wynzora Cream for Plaque Psoriasis

MC2 Therapeutics announces US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Wynzora Cream (calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064%) for once-daily treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults.

Wynzora Cream is based on PAD Technology, which enables stability of calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate in an aqueous formulation. Key features of PAD Technology formulations are high penetration of active ingredients to the target tissue, improved solubility and stability of active ingredients, high tolerability, and excellent treatment convenience. In the phase 3 trials conducted at multiple sites in the United States and the European Union, Wynzora Cream has demonstrated a combination of clinical efficacy, a favorable safety profile, and high convenience, offering overall better patient satisfaction in the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in the real-world setting.

WynzoraCream is applied to affected areas once daily for up to 8 weeks and not more than 100 g per week. Patients should stop treatment when the plaque psoriasis is under control, unless a health care provider gives other instructions.

MC2 Therapeutics also has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application in the European Union for Wynzora Cream (50 ยตg/g calcipotriol and 0.5 mg/g betamethasone [as dipropionate]) for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. For more information, visit www.mc2therapeutics.com.
