Results of a social media listening study of women of childbearing age with epilepsy underscore the need for HCPs to provide relevant information at critical time points to support shared decision-making2A quality-of-life survey administered to caregivers of individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) suggests improved understanding of caregiver definitions of normal and disruptive experiences can help researchers prioritize areas of focus to improve outcomes3Study shows prolonged seizures are a key driver in worsening quality of life for people with epilepsy and their caregivers4Pharmacokinetic data from Phase 1 study shows alprazolam administration via the Staccato® hand-held device is an efficient delivery route currently being studied for stereotypical prolonged seizures5New efficacy data on FINTEPLA® (fenfluramine) as a treatment for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS)6

32 scientific abstracts reflect ongoing commitment to improving outcomes for people living with epilepsiesData include the use of FINTEPLA® (fenfluramine)1 oral solution in seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, BRIVIACT® (brivaracetam) CV2 and VIMPAT® (lacosamide) CV3 in focal-onset seizures, and *Staccato[®] alprazolam4 (investigational treatment) for acute on-demand seizure management, plus latest updates from UCB's pipeline programsAdditional focus on the impact of epilepsy on aspects of everyday life, including research exploring epilepsy and sleep, epilepsy and motherhood, and the consequences of prolonged seizures on the quality of life of patients and caregivers

ACR Convergence 2024 marks UCB's first presentation of data in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) since the recent approvals of BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) in these indications in the U.S.New two-year data demonstrated sustained improvements in clinical and patient-reported outcomes in PsA, nr-axSpA, and AS patients treated with BIMZELXUCB will present 19 BIMZELX abstracts, including two oral presentations, across PsA, nr-axSpA, and AS, as well as plaque psoriasis (PSO)

UCB will contribute 14 presentations, including an oral presentation, selected to feature across the AANEM and MGFA meeting, emphasizing UCB's leadership in neuromuscular researchPresentations showcase new data for UCB's gMG treatments, including post hoc analyses highlighting the long-term safety and efficacy of ZILBRYSQ® (zilucoplan)1 and RYSTIGGO® (rozanolixizumab-noli) 2

BRUSSELS, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB), a global biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it will be presenting results from across its portfolio in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) at the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) annual meeting and the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Scientific Session taking place October 15—18, 2024 at the Savannah Convention Center in Savannah, Georgia, U.S.

First Phase 3b study in psoriatic arthritis to evaluate the superiority of an IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor to an IL-23 inhibitorThis first head-to-head study in psoriatic arthritis to use ACR50 at Week 16 as a primary endpointStudy underscores UCB's belief in BIMZELX with top-line results expected in 2026

ATLANTA, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB, a global biopharmaceutical company, today announced the start of BE BOLD, a head-to-head Phase 3b study, comparing BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx), an interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F inhibitor, with SKYRIZI® (risankizumab), an IL-23 inhibitor, in the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). BE BOLD is the first head-to-head study in PsA evaluating the superiority of an IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor to an IL-23 inhibitor.

Clinically meaningful improvements observed with BIMZELX over one year of treatment were maintained up to two years (Week 96)At Week 96, over eight in 10 patients treated with BIMZELX achieved HiSCR50, over seven in 10 achieved HiSCR75, and over four in 10 achieved HiSCR100*Approximately one in three patients treated with BIMZELX reported minimal or no impact of the disease on their health-related quality of life over two years*

ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB, a global biopharmaceutical company, today announced the first presentation of two-year data from the Phase 3 studies, BE HEARD I and BE HEARD II, and their open-label extension, evaluating the efficacy and safety of BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx), an interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F inhibitor, in adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).1 These new data are presented today as a late-breaking platform presentation at the 33rd European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, September 25–28, 2024.

Responder analyses demonstrated that approximately nine out of 10 patients treated with BIMZELX who achieved PASI90 at Year 1, and over seven out of 10 patients who achieved complete skin clearance (PASI100) at Year 1, maintained this response to Year 4Switching adalimumab, secukinumab, or ustekinumab PASI90 non-responders to BIMZELX led to most patients (over 70 percent) rapidly achieving and maintaining PASI90 for up to four years, and a large proportion (over 40 percent) achieved complete skin clearance based on a post-hoc analysis

With three new indications, BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) is the first and only IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor approved in the U.S. for the treatment of four chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseasesApproval in active PsA is supported by two Phase 3 studies in which BIMZELX showed statistically significant improvements vs. placebo at Week 16 in both joint and skin symptoms, across biologic-naïve and TNF inhibitor-inadequate responder populations, which were sustained to Week 52Approvals in active nr-axSpA and active AS are supported by two Phase 3 studies, in which BIMZELX showed statistically significant improvements vs. placebo in signs and symptoms at Week 16, which were sustained to Week 52
