Public Summary SwissPAR – Klisyri®

Public Summary SwissPAR dated 27.04.2022

Klisyri® (active substance: tirbanibulin)

First authorisation in Switzerland: 3 February 2022

Medicinal product (ointment) for the treatment of non-hyperkeratotic, non-hypertrophic actinic keratosis on the face or scalp in adults.

Information on authorisation

Klisyri has been authorised for the treatment of adults with non-hyperkeratotic (not heavily keratinised), non-hypertrophic (flat) actinic keratosis on the face or scalp. Actinic keratosis refers to skin lesions, usually chronic damage to the horny epidermis, caused by exposure to sunlight.

In deciding whether to authorise the medicinal product Klisyri, Swissmedic took into account the assessments of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the corresponding product information. Since the assessment of the clinical data was based on the assessment reports of the foreign partner authorities, the preconditions for a SwissPAR (Swiss Public Assessment Report) and a resulting Public Summary SwissPAR are not fully met. Swissmedic refers to the authorisation of the foreign comparator product. www.fda.gov
