FDA OKs Lilly 'EBGLYSS for Atopic Dermatitis

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EBGLYSS™ (lebrikizumab-lbkz), a targeted IL-13 inhibitor, for the treatment of adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled despite treatment with topical prescription therapies.1 Eczema inflammation under the skin can lead to symptoms seen and felt on the outside. EBGLYSS works by targeting eczema inflammation throughout the body that can lead to dry, itchy and irritated skin.

EBGLYSS 250 mg/2 mL injection can be used with or without topical corticosteroids and is dosed as a single monthly maintenance injection following the initial phase of treatment. The recommended initial starting dose of EBGLYSS is 500 mg (two 250 mg injections) at Week 0 and Week 2, followed by 250 mg every two weeks until Week 16 or later when adequate clinical response is achieved; after this, maintenance dosing is a single monthly injection (250 mg every four weeks).
