NEMLUVIO
NEMLUVIO (nemolizumab-ilto) is an interleukin-31 receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of adults with prurigo nodularis. It is also approved for adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. For atopic dermatitis, the medication is used in combination with topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors when the disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies.
How NEMLUVIO Works
Nemolizumab-ilto is a humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody that inhibits IL-31 signaling by binding selectively to the interleukin-31 receptor alpha (IL-31 RA). IL-31 is a naturally occurring cytokine involved in pruritus, inflammation, epidermal dysregulation, and fibrosis. By blocking this receptor, the drug inhibits IL-31-induced responses, including the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
