Edesa Biotech received FDA IND clearance to expand its Phase 2 EB06 study in vitiligo to the U.S., targeting moderate-to-severe nonsegmental vitiligo with a novel anti-CXCL10 monoclonal antibody. This distinguishes EB06 mechanistically from existing JAK inhibitors and places it in competition with other emerging vitiligo therapies.
