flag FDA approves Opzelura cream for children 2–11 with uncontrolled atopic dermatitis.

flag The FDA has approved Opzelura cream 1.5% (ruxolitinib) for children aged 2 to 11 with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis not well-controlled by other topical treatments or when they’re not recommended. flag It’s the first topical JAK inhibitor approved for this age group, offering a nonsteroidal option for short-term, noncontinuous use. flag Approval is based on the phase 3 TRuE-AD3 trial, showing significantly better results than placebo in treatment success and eczema improvement. flag Upper respiratory tract infection was the most common side effect, with no new safety concerns. flag The drug, developed by Incyte, provides a new treatment option for a chronic condition affecting children’s quality of life.
