Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is pathogenically driven by type-2 inflammation. Interleukin-13 (IL-13) plays a central role in AD pathogenesis, as confirmed by the clinical efficacy of agents that selectively block IL-13, although their therapeutic value and place-in-therapy are incompletely defined.
Areas covered: This review article aimed to describe preclinical and clinical data regarding selective IL-13 inhibitors investigated in AD. In particular, we discuss the clinical outcomes obtained with lebrikizumab and tralokinumab, which are in a more advanced phase of development.
Expert opinion: Biological agents that neutralize IL-13 have demonstrated clinical benefits in treating AD with excellent safety profiles. Robust clinical evidence exists in support of tralokinumab, which underwent phase III trials, met the predefined primary endpoints, and is approaching the market. In contrast, clinical trial testing for lebrikizumab needs to be completed to fully assess its therapeutic potential.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy (1471-2598; 1744-7682) is a MEDLINE-indexed, international journal publishing peer-reviewed research across all aspects of biological therapy.
Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical industries and others closely involved in the development and application of biological therapies for the treatment of human disease.
The journal welcomes:
Reviews covering therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, peptides and proteins, gene therapies and gene transfer technologies, cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine
Drug evaluations reviewing the clinical data on a particular biological agent
Original research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on biological agents and biotherapeutic-based studies with a strong link to clinical practice
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
