EADV 2025: Almirall Drives Innovation in Skin CareAlmirall’s scientific presence at the 34th EADV congress reflects its broad portfolio of dermatological treatments and patient-centric approach – featuring 44 abstracts, two expert-led symposia on atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and an interactive booth.
Almirall, S.A. (ALM) a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to medical dermatology, is a major contributor to the 2025 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress (EADV) presenting new data across its broad portfolio of dermatological treatments including new real-world data of lebrikizumab on atopic dermatitis, new clinical data of tildrakizumab on psoriasis and tirbanibulin on actinic keratosis. The 34th EADV congress will take place from September 17 to 20 in Paris, France.
At the congress, Almirall contributes a total of 44 scientific abstracts focused on advancing patient care across the company’s broad portfolio of dermatological treatments including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, actinic keratosis, and hidradenitis suppurativa. With a strong emphasis on real-world evidence, patient-reported outcomes, and well-being, Almirall’s scientific programme includes multiple presentations, two expert-led symposia on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and an interactive exhibition booth supporting dermatologists in their daily practice and effective treatment choices for their patients.
“The EADV congress is one of the most important platforms for exchange and learning about scientific and clinical advances in Dermatology. The Almirall team is excited to engage in conversations with leading experts and researchers to advance skin science and to develop meaningful solutions for patients. We are looking forward to discussing our new real-world evidence and clinical data for treatments across our broad portfolio to improve health outcomes for patients and support dermatologists in everyday practice,”said Dr. Volker Koscielny, Almirall’s Chief Medical Officer.

Atopic Dermatitis: first real-world evidence study and new data on long-term efficacy and well-being of lebrikizumab
Almirall presents interim results from the ADlife study, offering – for the first time – real-world evidence on the treatment of atopic dermatitis with lebrikizumab, featuring 100 patients treated for 16 weeks. The ADlife study demonstrates lebrikizumab is highly effective in treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis with clinically relevant improvements in AD symptoms, already after 4 weeks of treatment, and a consistent safety profile. This data suggests that efficacy seen in randomized clinical trials translates well into the real-world setting – even in a more complex patient population.
New data from the long-term extension ADjoin study shows that out of the patients showing significant improvement of their AD symptoms at week 16, those responses remained sustained after two-years of continuous treatment with lebrikizumab, as measured by absolute scores which are considered clinically relevant as they show response regardless of baseline severity. Further supporting its long-term efficacy, improvements in patient reported outcomes, such as itch and sleep (measured by POEM) were also observed up to 3 years of treatment with lebrikizumab.
The ADvantage study – the first trial to utilize the WHO-5 Well-being Index in the assessment of an atopic dermatitis treatment – demonstrates the positive impact of lebrikizumab on holistic care for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who often show a significant impairment of their psychological well-being. Treatment with lebrikizumab was associated with improved psychological well-being in adult and adolescent patients to levels similar to a healthy population – already after 16 weeks – and were maintained for up to 52 weeks of treatment.
Results from the ADvocate 1 and 2 studies reinforce lebrikizumab’s ability to deliver high rates of both skin clearance and itch relief after 16 weeks of treatment. First results were observed as early as week 4 compared to placebo and were maintained through to 52 weeks after treatment was initiated. Improvements in both the severity of the skin condition and itch translate into meaningful improvements in patient‑reported outcomes in atopic dermatitis1.
Almirall’s symposium on atopic dermatitis, “Long-term control in Atopic Dermatitis: Elevating Therapeutic Goals” will be chaired by Prof. Sébastien Barbarot (France), and feature Prof. Tilo Biedermann (Germany), Prof. Richard Warren (UK), and Dr. Alessandra Narcisi (Italy). It will showcase new evidence on the role of IL-13 in AD pathogenesis, supporting the real-world evidence and the long-term efficacy of lebrikizumab delivering meaningful health benefits for patients.
“Our symposium will highlight the unmet needs in atopic dermatitis and the pivotal role of IL-13 in disease pathophysiology. Through long-term data from clinical trials, real-world evidence and clinical cases, we’ll discuss how systemic biologic therapies like lebrikizumab are transforming care for patients and healthcare professionals”, commented Prof. Sébastien Barbarot.
Psoriasis: advancing disease management and patient outcomes
Almirall will present new effectiveness data on tildrakizumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis from the real world ZODIPSO and CzATCH studies. These studies demonstrate high effectiveness of the treatment in high impact areas including nails, scalp, and the genital area.
The TIL-SENIOR study explores the needs of elderly patients and how treatment with biologics like tildrakizumab can address these and offer a meaningful therapeutic option, while the TIL-TWO study shows how patients with elevated body weight or high-burden of disease can benefit from treatment with tildrakizumab 200 mg.

The PROCARE-t study demonstrates high patient satisfaction with the psoriasis care provided by both hospital pharmacists and dermatologists during the treatment with tildrakizumab. Healthcare Professionals (HPCs) also expressed high satisfaction with the treatment showing the importance of multidisciplinary care in dermatology involving dermatologists and pharmacists.
New data from the PRO-SCALP study show that CAL/BPD PAD(TM) cream delivers significant symptom relief of mild-to-moderate psoriasis of the scalp – which is particularly challenging to treat. It also demonstrated the treatment achieving enhanced emotional well-being, and overall improvements in daily life for patients.
Almirall will also host a focused symposium on remaining unmet needs in psoriasis, “Psoriasis: Is there anything left to solve?”, Chaired by Prof. Jo Lambert (Belgium), with Dr. Andreas Pinter (Germany) and Dr. Pedro Mendes Bastos (Portugal).
R&D pipeline: new insights on the treatment of large areas affected by Actinic Keratosis (AK), and phase I data on novel treatment for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
Almirall will share new data from the TirbAKare study demonstrating tirbanibulin’s suitability for treating large skin areas of up to 100 cm2 affected by actinic keratosis. The results show that tirbanibulin provides statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in AK lesion count compared to vehicle at day 57 while offering a favorable safety profile. These results confirm tirbanibulin’s efficacy and tolerability, consistent with previous findings in controlled trials and real-world evidence when treating larger AK areas.
Late-breaker: Phase I data on LAD191, a monoclonal antibody targeting the Interleukin-1 Receptor Accessory Protein (IL-1RAP), in patients affected by Hidradenitis Suppurativa suggest a favorable safety and tolerability profile, along with early signs of clinical improvement supporting the continued development of this asset.
Advancing skin science at EADV 2025
Almirall’s booth at EADV (Pavilion 7.2, Booth D06) will offer visitors the opportunity to explore the latest innovations in dermatology and insights into patient needs through interactive educational content and global disease awareness initiatives. Highlights include: the global campaign, “Sanctuary Salon”, which educates about the impact of skin conditions on daily life and self-care, especially in the scalp area, a spotlight on the emotional burden experienced by AD patients, and the possibility for visitors contribute to a psoriasis patient association.
