Abstract
Atopic dermatitis and asthma are chronic Th2-driven inflammatory diseases; an important role in their pathogenesis is played by IL-4 and IL-13. Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against the α subunit of IL-4 and IL-4/IL-13 receptor complexes inhibiting both IL-4 and IL-13 pathways.1 It is indicated for the treatment of difficult-tothreat atopic dermatitis in adults and as an add-on maintenance therapy in moderate-to-severe asthma with a type 2 inflammation, characterized by eosinophilia, and/or elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide, inadequately controlled with high dose inhaled corticosteroids plus another medicinal product.2File | Dimensione | Formato | |
