Key Takeaways

  • Clinuvel has received final scientific advice from the EMA for its pivotal Phase III CUV107 study after over 12 months of regulatory dialogue including two formal submissions.
  • The 300-patient trial evaluating SCENESSE (afamelanotide) for non-segmental vitiligo is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2026, targeting adults and adolescents.
  • The EMA will apply a "totality of evidence" approach to evaluate efficacy, allowing Clinuvel to integrate data from multiple prior vitiligo studies alongside CUV107.
  • No approved therapies currently exist for patients with extensive depigmentation affecting more than 10% of total body surface area, representing a significant commercial opportunity for a first systemic treatment.
  • The EMA specifically advised that patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types IV-V-VI) would benefit first, establishing a defined priority population for the study.
