Description
Lebrikizumab is a novel monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin (IL)-13 with high affinity and a slow dissociation rate.We assayed serum from select patients enrolled in ADvocate1 and ADvocate2 to determine the impact of lebrikizumab on circulating biomarkers and pathways relevant to atopic dermatitis (AD) and to assess the correlation between key biomarkers and clinical measures of improvement.At baseline, IL-13, CC motif chemokine ligand (CCL)13, CCL17, CCL22, total immunoglobulin (Ig)E, IL-5, and periostin were elevated in patients with moderate-to-severe AD versus healthy controls (p Selective inhibition of IL-13 with lebrikizumab monotherapy induced progressive inhibition of systemic biomarkers and pathways of type 2 inflammation, which correlated with clinical measures of improvement in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.NCT04146363 and NCT04178967.
