PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Feb. 17, 2017 - We at Zoetis are pleased that the European Medicines Agency, Committee for Veterinary Products for Medicinal Use, adopted a positive opinion for Cytopoint™ at their February meeting.

Upon full approval, Cytopoint would become the first monoclonal antibody licensed for veterinary use in the European Union. It is indicated for the treatment of clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs.

Lokivetmab, the active substance in Cytopoint, is a caninised monoclonal antibody that specifically targets canine interleukin-31, a key cytokine in canine atopic dermatitis.

We look forward to the decision of the European Commission on our application for marketing authorization of Cytopoint.
