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
