Information on authorisation
The medicinal product Bimzelx, which contains the active substance bimekizumab, is a solution for injection in a pre-filled syringe.
Bimzelx is used in adults for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, a skin disease whose symptoms include pain, itching and scaly patches of skin. Bimzelx relieves these and other symptoms of the disease.
In deciding whether to authorise the medicinal product Bimzelx, containing the active substance bimekizumab, Swissmedic took into account the assessment of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) regarding certain aspects such as the clinical data, as well as the corresponding product information.
Since the assessment of the clinical data was based on the assessment report of a foreign authority, the preconditions for a SwissPAR (Swiss Public Assessment Report) and a resulting Public Summary SwissPAR are not fully met. Swissmedic refers to the authorisation by the foreign reference authority.
