FDA approves Bimzelx for treating severe skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa in adults.

The FDA has approved Bimzelx (bimekizumab-bkzx) for treating moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in adults. HS is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Bimzelx is the first drug to target both interleukin 17A and 17F, showing significant improvements in HS symptoms in clinical trials. This approval marks the fifth indication for Bimzelx in the U.S., following earlier approvals for conditions such as psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
