A few days ago, Eli Lilly announced that it would close its Dermira plant in Menlo Park, lay off 163 employees, and intend to sell the hyperhidrosis drug Qbrexza to Journey Medical.

Eli Lilly acquired Dermira, a dermatology company, in January 2020 for a total price of approximately US$1.

After a lapse of 16 months, Eli Lilly decided to abandon most of the investment portfolio obtained from this acquisition except Lebrikizumab, close the Dermira factory in Menlo Park, and sell the hyperhidrosis drug Qbrexza to Journey Medical.

The results of two important key trials show that Qbrexza can achieve a clinically significant improvement in sweat production.

Although Eli Lilly may lay off Dermira's employees, because Qbrexza is sold to Journey, Journey may also accept some of Dermira's former employees, but there is no exact news about how many employees will leave.

Although Dermira announced plans for plant closures and layoffs, recent news shows that the company's preclinical drugs have great potential.

In recent years, Eli Lilly has become more and more active in seeking solutions for skin diseases, especially atopic dermatitis.
