Nucala

Understanding Nucala® 

Nucala® (mepolizumab) is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to treat inflammatory diseases associated with high eosinophil levels. It works by targeting interleukin-5 (IL-5), a key protein involved in the production and survival of eosinophils, which contribute to inflammation in various conditions. By reducing eosinophil levels, Nucala® helps control symptoms and prevent disease flares in patients with eosinophilic-driven diseases.

How Nucala Works:

  • Inhibits IL-5, reducing the production and survival of eosinophils.
  • Lowers eosinophil levels, decreasing inflammation in affected tissues.
  • Helps prevent disease flares and improve symptom control in eosinophilic-driven conditions.

FDA Approvals:

  • Severe Eosinophilic Asthma: Approved on November 4, 2015
  • Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA): Approved on December 12, 2017
