P/E: 73.9Score: 75Market cap: $470.55B

AbbVie's adalimumab (Humira) was the first biologic approved for hidradenitis suppurativa and still defines first-line treatment, while its risankizumab (Skyrizi) competes in psoriatic arthritis — both were used as active reference arms in MoonLake's own trials.

P/E: 38.8Score: 78Market cap: $1.11T

Lilly's ixekizumab (Taltz) is an IL-17A inhibitor prescribed for psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis and plaque psoriasis, the rheumatology and dermatology indications sonelokimab is being developed for beyond hidradenitis suppurativa.

P/E: 17.1Score: 82Market cap: $24.86B

Incyte is bringing povorcitinib, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, through late-stage trials in hidradenitis suppurativa, competing for the same patients with a pill rather than an injection.

UCB S.A.UCB

UCB's bimekizumab (Bimzelx) blocks the same IL-17A and IL-17F cytokines as sonelokimab and is already approved for hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriatic arthritis, the two indications MoonLake is bringing to market.

Novartis AGNVS

Novartis sells secukinumab (Cosentyx), the IL-17A inhibitor approved in 2023 for hidradenitis suppurativa and widely used in psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis, addressing the same dermatology and rheumatology prescribers MoonLake targets.

    MoonLake Says Lead Drug Shows Durable Response, Eyes FDA Filing

    MoonLake Immunotherapeutics announced promising Phase 3 results for its lead drug in Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), showing a 62% HiSCR75 response rate at Week 40. This durable response rate suggests strong efficacy. Crucially, the company received feedback from the FDA that supports a potential path to filing without requiring additional trials. This significantly de-risks the development timeline and accelerates the path to market. Investors are likely to view this news favorably, anticipating a potential new treatment option and a strong commercial opportunity.
