Meda AB (MDABF), a specialty pharma company, announced the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Zyclara in the European Union. Zyclara, or imiquimod 3.75% cream, is a patented product for the treatment of actinic keratosis. The approval is valid in all EU countries.
The company said Actinic keratosis, or AK, early skin carcinoma in situ is an under-diagnosed and under-treated disease and the number of affected patients is increasing. Meda claimed Zyclara is to date the first clinically proven treatment option, which can detect and eliminate subclinical as well as clinical AK lesions on large areas of the skin.
