OPZELURA was applied twice daily for 8 weeks and was applied by patients on areas of the skin where they had eczema, including sensitive ones such as the face. OPZELURA is only for use on affected areas that cover up to 20% of the body, as directed by your healthcare provider. OPZELURA is for use on the skin only. Do not use in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Stop using OPZELURA when signs and symptoms (e.g., itch, rash, and redness) of eczema resolve. Talk to your healthcare provider if you don't see an improvement within 8 weeks.

OPZELURA was studied in 2 double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trials. This means that participants received either OPZELURA or just the vehicle—a cream with no active ingredients. Participants were not told which they received. More than 1200 people with mild to moderate eczema participated in these trials for 8 weeks, with 20% of participants ranging in age from 12-17 years old.

WERE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS IN THE 8-WEEK CLINICAL TRIALS?

The most common side effects of OPZELURA include: common cold (nasopharyngitis), diarrhea, bronchitis, ear infection, increase in a type of white blood cell (eosinophil) count, hives, inflamed hair pores (folliculitis), swelling of the tonsils (tonsillitis), and runny nose (rhinorrhea).

*Individual results may vary. OPZELURA is not for everyone.

RESULTS AT ONE YEAR

After the original 8-week studies ended, patients were given the choice to continue using OPZELURA as needed if their eczema signs and symptoms returned for up to one year.*

In two clinical studies, more than 75% achieved clear or almost clear skin when using OPZELURA as needed, at 1 year.

*This was a less rigorous part of the study where patients and their physicians knew they were using an active treatment, which could have affected the results.

WERE THERE SIDE EFFECTS WITH ONE YEAR OF AS-NEEDED USE?

The most common side effects of OPZELURA include: upper respiratory tract infection, common cold (nasopharyngitis), headache, bronchitis, influenza, inflammation of the nasal passages (rhinitis), atopic dermatitis, and asthma. These side effects were observed in at least 2% of people using OPZELURA in the 8-week studies and as needed for up to one year. Serious side effects can also occur.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATION
Indication and Usage

OPZELURA is a prescription medicine used on the skin (topical) for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate eczema (atopic dermatitis) in non-immunocompromised adults and children 12 years of age and older whose disease is not well controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not recommended.

The use of OPZELURA along with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or strong immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclosporine is not recommended.

It is not known if OPZELURA is safe and effective in children less than 12 years of age with atopic dermatitis.

Important Safety Information

OPZELURA is for use on the skin only. Do not use OPZELURA in your eyes, mouth, or vagina.

OPZELURA may cause serious side effects, including:

Serious Infections: OPZELURA contains ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib belongs to a class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. JAK inhibitors are medicines that affect your immune system. JAK inhibitors can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Some people have had serious infections while taking JAK inhibitors by mouth, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have been hospitalized or died from these infections. Some people have had serious infections of their lungs while taking OPZELURA. Your healthcare provider should watch you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with OPZELURA.

OPZELURA should not be used in people with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. You should not start using OPZELURA if you have any kind of infection unless your healthcare provider tells you it is okay. You may be at a higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster) while using OPZELURA.

Increased risk of death due to any reason (all causes): Increased risk of death has happened in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and are taking a medicine in the class of medicines called JAK inhibitors by mouth.

Cancer and immune system problems: OPZELURA may increase your risk of certain cancers by changing the way your immune system works. Lymphoma and other cancers have happened in people taking a medicine in the class of medicines called JAK inhibitors by mouth. People taking JAK inhibitors by mouth have a higher risk of certain cancers including lymphoma and lung cancer, especially if they are a current or past smoker. Some people have had skin cancers while using OPZELURA. Your healthcare provider will regularly check your skin during your treatment with OPZELURA. Limit the amount of time you spend in the sunlight. Wear protective clothing when you are in the sun and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Increased risk of major cardiovascular events: Increased risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death have happened in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and taking a medicine in the class of medicines called JAK inhibitors by mouth, especially in current or past smokers.

Blood clots: Blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) can happen in some people taking OPZELURA. This may be life-threatening. Blood clots in the vein of the legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) and lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) have happened more often in people who are 50 years of age and older and with at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor taking a medicine in the class of medicines called JAK inhibitors by mouth.

Low blood cell counts: OPZELURA may cause low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), low red blood cell counts (anemia), and low white blood cell counts (neutropenia). If needed, your healthcare provider will do a blood test to check your blood cell counts during your treatment with OPZELURA and may stop your treatment if signs or symptoms of low blood cell counts happen.

Cholesterol increases: Cholesterol increase has happened in people when ruxolitinib is taken by mouth. Tell your healthcare provider if you have high cholesterol or triglycerides.

  • have had shingles (herpes zoster)
  • have or have had hepatitis B or C
  • live, have lived in, or have traveled to certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Southwest) where there is an increased chance for getting certain kinds of fungal infections.

  • think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as: fever, sweating, or chills, muscle aches, cough or shortness of breath, blood in your phlegm, weight loss, warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body, diarrhea or stomach pain, burning when you urinate or urinating more often than usual, feeling very tired.
