FDA News Recap: 5 Approvals to Know from the First Half of 2025

The first half of 2025 has unfolded during a period of uncertainty in public health. From ongoing pressure on healthcare systems to workforce shortages and shifting regulatory dynamics, challenges remain on nearly every front. Yet even amid these headwinds, the pace of medical innovation continues—and in some cases, accelerates. The 

 has cleared a series of approvals in 2025 that not only respond to long-standing clinical needs but also redefine what’s possible across multiple therapeutic areas.

This year has already brought forward treatments that could reshape standards of care for millions. From a GLP-1 therapy extending its benefits into kidney disease, to the first new class of non-opioid acute pain relief in over two decades, 2025 has seen approvals that combine clinical impact with public health relevance. Meanwhile, a needle-free option for pediatric anaphylaxis brings greater access and safety, while a new injectable PrEP for HIV prevention promises to dramatically improve adherence. And in dermatology, the first targeted therapy for bullous pemphigoid introduces precision treatment for a historically underserved autoimmune population.

These 5 approvals, listed below in chronological order, stand out not just for their novelty, but for their real-world potential to ease disease burden, improve quality of life, and expand access. In a healthcare environment marked by complexity and rapid change, they are reminders that innovation is still moving forward—sometimes quietly, but decisively.

Q2 coverage of dermatology has included new findings related to atopic dermatitis and 

, in addition to exclusive interviews with leading dermatology experts on emerging therapies and clinical insights. The team also published multiple recaps of recent conferences, capturing the most relevant data and discussions.

The following list is a comprehensive overview of some of Q2’s most impactful stories in dermatology, reflecting the wide scope of progress made thus far in skin disease research and treatments during this period:

Notable Attributes of Icotrokinra for Adolescents with Psoriasis, with Lawrence Eichenfield, MD

In this interview from Q2, Lawrence Eichenfield, MD, discussed data released by Johnson & Johnson from a subgroup analysis of the ICONIC-LEAD study that had been presented at the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) Annual Meeting. Eichenfield described the data that demonstrated that adolescents with moderate-to-severe psoriasis given once-daily icotrokinra (JNJ-2113) attained higher rates of clear or almost clear skin at the 16-week mark compared to placebo.

Roflumilast Foam 0.3% for Scalp, Body Psoriasis Effective, Safe for Patients

Another notable study from Q2 showed positive phase 3 results on the safety and efficacy of roflumilast foam 0.3% (Zoryve) as a monotherapy for patients with psoriasis of the scalp and body. These results, demonstrating rapid and significant relief following treatment, were the conclusion of the phase 3 ARRECTOR study, authored by such investigators as Melinda Gooderham, MD, MSc, medical director at the SKiN Centre for Dermatology. Gooderham and the coauthors expressed, following the analysis, that before their work, topical therapeutic options for scalp psoriasis had been limited by efficacy, by formulation, and/or by safety.

Baricitinib Confirmed Safe and Efficacious for Treating Alopecia Areata

Long-term findings from the integrated safety analysis of patients with severe alopecia areata in the BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 clinical trial program, spanning up to 4 years, were released and reinforced the established efficacy and safety profile of baricitinib over an extended period. Baricitinib, an oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has been approved by the regulatory bodies of many different countries for several rheumatologic and dermatologic disorders, as well as for COVID-19.

Azathioprine Effective for Patients with Recalcitrant, Severe Alopecia Areata

 in Q2 demonstrated that azathioprine is an efficacious systemic treatment for individuals living with recalcitrant and severe alopecia areata, according to research authored by Susan Farshi and Parvin Mansouri, from the Skin and Stem Cell Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran. Farshi and Mansouri’s study participants came from the dermatology clinic at Imam Hospital and the Skin and Stem Cell Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The team's prospective study involved the tracking of patients living with alopecia areata over a 10-year timeframe.

Lebrikizumab Leads to Atopic Dermatitis Improvements in Patients with Skin of Color

New phase 3b findings on lebrikizumab (Ebglyss) released in Q2 highlighted the drug’s efficacy for atopic dermatitis in adult and adolescent patients with skin of color, as well as results in itch and disease severity improvements over 24 weeks. This late-breaking data resulted from the open-label ADmirable study and was presented at the 2025 Revolutionizing Atopic Dermatitis (RAD) Annual Meeting in Nashville. It was led by such authors as Andrew F. Alexis, MD, MPH, professor of clinical dermatology and vice-chair for diversity and inclusion at Weill Cornell Medicine. Alexis and colleagues had noted the lack of robust data prior to the ADmirable study informing the diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis in patients with skin of color.

Upadacitinib Effective for Disease Clearance, Itch in Older Adults with Atopic Dermatitis

In new data presented at RAD 2025, older adults with atopic dermatitis aged ≥ 65 years treated with oral upadacitinib 15 mg as a once-daily monotherapy were shown to attain optimal skin clearance and relief from itch, along with notable quality of life and sleep improvements. These data on older adults ≥65 years with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis were the result of 140 weeks of evaluation in the phase 3 Measure Up 1 and 2 analyses.

DermaSensor Aids PCPs in Spotting Skin Cancer

Recent findings from Q2 in the pivotal DERM-SUCCESS study, along with a companion utility study, provided strong clinical support for DermaSensor, a handheld skin cancer assessment device that was cleared for primary care by the FDA in 2024. The DERM-SUCCESS analysis had assessed the diagnostic performance of DermaSensor, a noninvasive, elastic scattering spectroscopy device, for melanoma and keratinocyte carcinoma detection within primary care settings. This evaluation was carried out in 22 clinics within the US and Australia, with adult patients with skin lesions suspected of malignancy by primary care physicians (PCPs) being involved between August 2020 - December 2021.

Investigators Develop AI Model That Can Predict Nail Psoriasis

Investigators from the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nurnberg in Germany have developed a convolutional neural network, designed to automatically and objectively score the severity of patients’ nail psoriasis with high reliability and no need for image standardization. Psoriasis is known to often impact nails, given their categorization as dermal appendages. Additionally, there is an estimated total of 80-90% of individuals who eventually present with nail involvement who already have psoriasis.

Role of Inflammation and Atopic Presentations in EoE

The role of inflammation in EoE is complex, as inflammation serves beneficial functions in health but becomes problematic when excessive. In EoE, chronic inflammation manifests through multiple pathways, including symptomatic presentation, distinctive endoscopic findings, and characteristic histologic changes. The tissue shows increased eosinophil infiltration along with epithelial proliferation and progressive fibrosis. While establishing direct correlations between inflammation severity and symptom intensity remains challenging in research models, clinical evidence strongly suggests that reducing eosinophil levels and healing inflammatory processes leads to symptom improvement in patients.

The primary concern with untreated inflammation centers on preventing long-term complications. Chronic inflammatory processes can result in structural damage including esophageal strictures, recurrent food impactions, and, in pediatric cases, potential malnutrition affecting growth and development. This understanding drives the therapeutic focus on controlling inflammation to prevent irreversible complications while addressing immediate symptomatic relief.

EoE demonstrates strong associations with other atopic conditions, reflecting its position within the broader spectrum of type 2 inflammatory disorders. Patients commonly present with comorbid conditions, including eczema, asthma, food allergies, and allergic rhinitis, though the severity and combination of these conditions vary significantly among individuals. This atopic overlap creates opportunities for earlier detection, as gastroenterologists often receive referrals from allergy specialists, and conversely, patients with established atopic diseases represent a higher-risk population for EoE development. The multidisciplinary approach between gastroenterology and allergy specialists becomes crucial for comprehensive care. Additionally, there is significant potential for improved early detection through systematic screening, particularly in primary care settings where patients with known atopic conditions should routinely be questioned about swallowing difficulties, as many patients normalize these symptoms or attribute them to familial patterns rather than seeking appropriate medical evaluation.

Panelists discuss how inflammation in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) correlates with symptoms and long-term complications such as strictures, while emphasizing the importance of screening patients with other atopic conditions such as eczema, asthma, and food allergies for potential EoE given the shared type 2 inflammatory process.

Clinical Features of EoE and Overall Prevalence

This clinical discussion features gastroenterology experts reviewing the evolving management of EoE, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches. The panel includes specialists from major academic medical centers discussing adult and pediatric perspectives on this increasingly recognized condition.

In adults, EoE primarily presents as dysphagia, where patients experience difficulty swallowing with food “slowing down” or not passing easily. A significant subset presents with acute food impaction requiring emergency intervention, though these patients typically have ignored earlier warning signs. Many patients unconsciously develop adaptive behaviors over years, including avoiding certain foods, cutting food into smaller pieces, chewing excessively, prolonging mealtimes, using liquids or sauces to aid swallowing, and modifying food textures. These compensatory mechanisms often mask the severity of symptoms, making diagnosis challenging as patients may deny swallowing difficulties when directly questioned.

Pediatric presentations vary by developmental stage. Younger children may exhibit feeding difficulties, food refusal, or reluctance to advance to age-appropriate textures, with parents often needing to encourage eating. Adolescents present similarly to adults with dysphagia and food impaction, but pill-swallowing difficulties serve as an important diagnostic clue. Children often report symptoms that parents are unaware of when questioned directly. Growth problems occur in approximately 16% of pediatric cases, though many children maintain adequate nutrition through adaptive eating strategies. The epidemiology of EoE shows rapidly increasing prevalence from 1 in 2000 fifteen years ago to current estimates of 1 in 700 or higher. This increase appears to outpace diagnostic awareness, suggesting environmental factors, early-life antibiotic or antacid exposure, and interactions with other atopic conditions may contribute to disease development beyond improved recognition alone.

Panelists discuss how eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) presents with dysphagia and adaptive eating behaviors in adults and feeding difficulties in children and has increasing prevalence rates potentially driven by environmental factors and early life exposures rather than just improved awareness.

Chang explains the importance of collaboration between gastroenterologists and allergists in EoE care and praises recent ACG guidelines on disease management.
