Limitations of Use: Efficacy of SEYSARA beyond 12 weeks and safety beyond 12 months have not been established. SEYSARA has not been evaluated in the treatment of infections. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria as well as to maintain the effectiveness of other antibacterial drugs, SEYSARA should be used only as indicated. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS SEYSARA is contraindicated in persons who have shown hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Like other tetracyclines, SEYSARA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If SEYSARA is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking SEYSARA, the patient should be informed of the potential hazard to the fetus and treatment should be stopped immediately. The use of SEYSARA during tooth development (second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-gray-brown). Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. If Clostridium difficile Associated Diarrhea (antibiotic associated colitis) occurs, discontinue SEYSARA. Central nervous system side effects , including light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo, have been reported with tetracycline use. Patients who experience these symptoms should be cautioned about driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and may disappear when the drug is discontinued. Intracranial hypertension in adults and adolescents has been associated with the use of tetracyclines. Clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision and papilledema. Although signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension resolve after discontinuation of treatment, the possibility for sequelae such as visual loss that may be permanent or severe exists. Concomitant use of isotretinoin and SEYSARA should be avoided because isotretinoin, a systemic retinoid, is also known to cause intracranial hypertension. Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction has been observed in some individuals taking tetracyclines. Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using SEYSARA. Bacterial resistance to tetracyclines may develop in patients using SEYSARA. Because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of SEYSARA, it should only be used as indicated. As with other antibiotic preparations, use of SEYSARA may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, SEYSARA should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction (incidence ≥1%) was nausea: SEYSARA 3.1% vs placebo 2.0%. Please see full Prescribing Information. About Ilumya (tildrakizumab-asmn): INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ILUMYA (tildrakizumab-asmn) is indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. CONTRAINDICATIONS ILUMYA is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to tildrakizumab or to any of the excipients. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Cases of angioedema and urticaria occurred in ILUMYA-treated subjects in clinical trials. If a serious allergic reaction occurs, discontinue ILUMYA immediately and initiate appropriate therapy. Infections ILUMYA may increase the risk of infection. Treatment with ILUMYA should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing ILUMYA in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving ILUMYA to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and consider discontinuation of ILUMYA until the infection resolves. Pretreatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with ILUMYA. Do not administer ILUMYA to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering ILUMYA. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of ILUMYA in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Patients receiving ILUMYA should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment. Immunizations Prior to initiating therapy with ILUMYA, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Patients treated with ILUMYA should not receive live vaccines. Adverse Reactions The most common (≥1%) adverse reactions associated with ILUMYA treatment that were more frequent than in the placebo group are upper respiratory infections, injection-site reactions, and diarrhea.

Almirall Institutional Event Shanghai The biopharmaceutical company’s presence in Shanghai, China is dedicated to life science innovation and business development with a focus on programs and technologies that are complementary to its in-house R&D expertise. The successful collaboration with Simcere for the development of an interleukin 2 mutant fusion protein (IL-2muFc) initially targeting alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis is a blueprint for future collaborations. Almirall’s commercial presence in China is expanding through a second agreement with a local partner for the commercialisation of a product for the treatment of acne. SHANGHAI & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Almirall, S.A. (ALM), a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to medical dermatology based in Barcelona, today holds an institutional event to inaugurate new offices in the Jing’an district in Shanghai, China. The presence of Almirall in Shanghai (Almirall Shanghai Pharmaceutical Consulting Co. Ltd) is dedicated to creating additional opportunities for innovation in medical dermatology, combining the company’s strong in-house R&D capabilities with Chinese collaborations. The event entitled “ Advancing innovation in dermatology with partnerships in China ” gathers leaders of the pharmaceutical industry in China, institutional representatives from China and Spain, and future and current partners to discuss opportunities for collaboration to further advance innovation in life sciences that enable the development of innovative treatments in medical dermatology to benefit patients and the medical community around the world. The opening of the new Shanghai offices comes at a time when China is accelerating its life sciences capabilities and licensing deals in the pharma sector. As Almirall is expanding its leadership in medical dermatology through a trajectory of sustained growth and margin expansion, the company’s R&D and commercial expertise represent valuable capabilities for future Chinese partners with innovative technologies who are looking to commercialise them globally. Back in 2022, Almirall established its successful Chinese partnership with Simcere on the development of an interleukin 2 mutant fusion protein (IL-2muFc) initially targeting alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis. Since then, the two companies have worked closely to advance the clinical development of this innovative therapy. Almirall’s continued investment in its in-house R&D capabilities remains strongly focused on its R&D centre in Sant Feliu de Llobregat (Barcelona, Spain) where the majority of the pipeline development for the company will continue. “As a leader in medical dermatology, we at Almirall are proud to combine the commercialisation of our broad portfolio of dermatology products with a sustained focus on innovation that enables us to develop novel treatments aimed at further supporting patients and the medical community. The inauguration of our new offices in Shanghai today underlines our collaborative approach to innovation and is a recognition of the life science potential in China. We continue to invest in growing our in-house R&D capabilities in Barcelona, while the complementary work in China will allow us to broaden our innovation potential through new partnerships. The successful collaboration we have with Simcere in alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis is a blueprint for this work.” Carlos Gallardo, Almirall Chairman and CEO “ Congratulations to Almirall on establishing an office in China and expanding its presence in the country. This milestone reflects the further development of the cooperation between China and Spain in the field of innovative medicines. Simcere will continue to work closely with Almirall to pursue synergistic innovation and advance the global clinical development of the interleukin 2 mutant fusion protein project. We look forward to bringing new therapeutic options to patients worldwide suffering from different autoimmune diseases.” Zhou Gaobo, Chief Investment Officer of Simcere Pharmaceutical Group In 2025, China and Spain celebrated the 20th anniversary of their comprehensive strategic partnership. Since then, bilateral relations have entered a new phase with the adoption of the Action Plan on Strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (2025–2028) , which highlights the pharmaceutical sector as a key priority. The collaboration between Almirall and Simcere stands as a prominent example of a partnership aligned with this strategic framework between the two countries. Almirall’s R&D pipeline Almirall’s continued investment in its leading R&D capabilities, and the medical dermatology pipeline are closely aligned with the company’s long-term view on its contributions and commitment to positively impact patients and society and with further growing its leadership in medical dermatology. Almirall invested more than 1bn Euros into R&D in medical dermatology over the last 10 years, and in 2025 Almirall continued to invest around 12.5% of net sales in R&D. Almirall’s pipeline currently consists of developmental assets that target a broad range of dermatological diseases with currently three ongoing proof-of-concept (PoC)/Phase II studies including an anti-IL-1RAP monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting hidradenitis suppurativa, an IL-2muFc mutant fusion protein targeting alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis - the latter led by Almirall's partner Simcere. Additional pipeline programs are expected to progress into phase II/PoC studies in the next 12 months including an anti-IL-21 monoclonal antibody targeting hidradenitis suppurativa. Almirall’s collaboration with Simcere was initiated in 2022 with the program to progress the preclinical-stage drug candidate for autoimmune diseases—the interleukin-2 mutant fusion protein (IL-2muFc) —developed by Simcere, which Almirall has global development and commercialisation rights for outside China. Since then, the two companies have worked closely to advance the clinical development of this innovative therapy. The program has now progressed to Phase II clinical trials in both China and the United States. Commercialisation of dermatology products in China Based on Almirall’s end-to-end expertise and China’s growing demand for advanced treatments in medical dermatology, the company also focused on giving patients access to its existing products through partnerships with local commercialisation expertise. Almirall and Cutia have a license agreement for the commercialisation of Almirall’s topical finasteride product which is already available in China for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. More recently, Almirall signed an agreement with Sinomune for the commercialisation of sarecycline which was recently approved by the regulatory authorities in China for the treatment of acne. The presence of senior managers of both companies at the inauguration event is a strong signal for Almirall’s focus on supporting patients and the medical community in China with access to impactful treatments in dermatology.
