flag Kyowa Kirin regains global rights to experimental eczema drug rocatinlimab after Amgen exits due to low commercial potential and safety concerns.

flag Kyowa Kirin has regained global rights to rocatinlimab, an experimental atopic dermatitis treatment, after Amgen ended their collaboration due to strategic priorities. flag Despite rocatinlimab meeting key Phase 3 trial endpoints and showing sustained efficacy, Amgen cited weak commercial potential and safety concerns, including high rates of pyrexia and chills, as reasons for stepping back. flag Kyowa Kirin will now lead regulatory submissions in the U.S. and Japan, aiming for approval in early 2026, with the drug’s novel OX40-targeting mechanism seen as promising for long-term disease control.
