Adbry (tralokinumab)
Tralokinumab is an interleukin-13 (IL-13) inhibitor that blocks IL-13–induced responses (eg, release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, IgE). It is indicated for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults who are not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or in whom those therapies are not advisable.
Results from the phase 3 ECZTRA clinical trials showed tralokinumab to be superior to placebo at 16 weeks of treatment and tolerated for up to 52 weeks. Br J Dermatol. 2021 Mar;184(3):437-449
