Description Lebrikizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to bind specifically to IL-13 and is currently in development for asthma. Anti-IL13 has been demonstrated to bind to human IL-13 with high affinity and neutralizes the functional activities of human IL-13. Preclinical studies suggest that IL-13 is a key mediator of asthma responses, including airway inflammation, obstruction and hyper-reactivity.
Development Status Phase II clinical trials evaluating lebrikizumab for asthma are ongoing.
