     Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, the main symptoms are severe itching and eczema lesions

    .

    It can cause severe itching, insomnia and social pressure due to visible lesions, and have a serious negative impact on the quality of life of patients
    .

    The cause of atopic dermatitis is due to skin barrier dysfunction and immune disorders
    .

    Recent studies have found that a variety of cells in the skin tissues of patients with atopic dermatitis overexpress IL-13
    .

    Adbry is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to IL-13 with high affinity
    .

    It can not only block the binding of IL-13 and IL-13Rα1, but also block the binding of IL-13 and IL-13Rα2
    .

    It was originally developed by AstraZeneca.
    LEO Pharma reached an agreement with AstraZeneca in 2016 to obtain Adbry's global development rights
    .

     ▲Adbry (TRAL in the picture) binds to IL-13 to block its binding to IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 (picture source: reference [2]) Adbry's approval this time is based on 3 key points 3 According to the positive safety and efficacy results of the phase trial, a total of about 2,000 adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis were enrolled
    .

    The safety data evaluation comes from data obtained from 5 randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
    In addition to the above 3 phase 3 clinical trials, it also includes a dose exploration trial and a vaccine response trial
    .

    All three key trials reached their primary endpoint at week 16, which was compared with placebo, Adbry (300 mg, once every 2 weeks as a monotherapy, or combined with topical corticosteroids as needed) reached EASI 75 (Eczema area and severity index improved by 75% or more from baseline), or IGA scores of 0 or 1 (representing complete or near complete skin symptoms), the proportion of patients was significantly higher
    .

    Moreover, the Adbry group was also significantly better than the placebo group on the key secondary endpoint of daily pruritus NRS response (≥4 points)
    .

    In terms of safety, Adtralza was well tolerated during treatment, and the overall frequency of adverse events was comparable to placebo
    .

    The most common adverse events were upper respiratory tract infections (mainly reported as the common cold), conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, and eosinophilia
    .

    "Today the FDA's approval of Adbry is a major milestone for LEO Pharma and the millions of patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
