Elanco Achieves Key European Approval for Zenrelia Launch

Elanco Makes Strides with Zenrelia Approval in Europe
Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) is thrilled to announce that Zenrelia™ (ilunocitinib) has received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products (CVMP). This news heralds the potential marketing authorization for the innovative product within a swift timeframe of 60 days.
The CVMP's positive assessment emphasizes the efficacy of Zenrelia in alleviating pruritus related to allergic dermatitis in dogs, as well as treating clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis. Importantly, this recommendation was founded on robust data showcasing quality, safety, efficacy, and an advantageous benefit-risk balance. Elanco is eager to ensure that the labeling will align with approvals in other regions where the product is already in circulation—once the European Commission formalizes the endorsement.
Dr. Ellen de Brabander, Executive Vice President of Innovation and Regulatory Affairs at Elanco, expressed enthusiasm about this significant milestone, indicating that Zenrelia is the company’s most rapidly globalized product, with eight major regulatory approvals anticipated over a mere 18-month span. She highlighted the successful results from a head-to-head non-inferiority study against existing treatments in the market, declaring, "With millions of itchy dogs struggling for comfort, we're excited to offer a new solution to veterinarians across Europe."
Looking ahead, Elanco anticipates launching Zenrelia soon after receiving marketing authorization, with plans for availability in the marketplace before the present quarter concludes. The product is currently on sale in countries such as Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United States, with further approvals expected in Australia and the United Kingdom next year.
These developments mark a pivotal moment for Elanco as it seeks to enhance the quality of life for pets through advanced medical solutions. The company’s path is characterized by innovation and a deep commitment to animal health, aligning with its vision of enriching lives through food and companionship.
