About EBGLYSS

About EBGLYSS

EBGLYSS, a targeted IL-13 inhibitor, presents a new opportunity for a first-line biologic following prescription topical therapy for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults and pediatric patients ages 12 and older who weigh ≥ 40kg1

Studied globally
Efficacy and safety were well studied in 1720 patients worldwide1,2

*After a 16-week Q2W induction period or when adequate response is achieved.1

IL=interleukin; Q2W=every 2 weeks; Q4W=every 4 weeks.

Who should you consider for treatment with EBGLYSS?

Patients like Alex,* who have moderate-to-severe AD and are struggling to control signs and symptoms with topical treatments1

Man standing in field

*Hypothetical patient example.

Consider a patient who is:

  • Experienced with topicals and has likely not yet tried a biologic1
  • Stuck in a cycle of inflammation3
  • Driven to control their disease long-term
  • Uncomfortably reminded of their AD because of the daily management it requires3,4

You want to help alleviate the presence of their AD with a treatment
that offers lasting relief with
monthly (Q4W) maintenance dosing1

SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria, have been reported with use of EBGLYSS. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue EBGLYSS and institute appropriate therapy.

EBGLYSS selectively targets a key cytokine1,5

EBGLYSS binds with high affinity to IL-131,6

Illustration for the mechanism of action of EBGLYSS(TM) lebrikizumab-lbkz

AD is an IL-13 dominant disease5,7-9

  • EBGLYSS selectively binds to IL-13, preventing formation of the IL-4R⍺/IL-13R⍺1 receptor complex and inhibiting IL-13 signaling1,6-10
  • EBGLYSS potently neutralizes IL-13 with a high binding affinity and slow dissociation rate1,6,10*
  • Dissociation rate refers to the rate at which EBGLYSS separates from IL-13.6
  • IL=interleukin; R⍺=receptor, alpha.

The relationship between the mechanism of action and clinical outcomes has not been determined.

IL-13 is implicated as a primary cytokine tied to the pathophysiology of AD, and EBGLYSS selectively targets IL-131

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindication: EBGLYSS is contraindicated in patients with prior serious hypersensitivity to lebrikizumab-lbkz or any excipients of EBGLYSS.

Warnings and Precautions

Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria, have been reported with use of EBGLYSS. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue EBGLYSS and institute appropriate therapy.

Conjunctivitis and Keratitis
Conjunctivitis and keratitis adverse reactions have been reported in clinical trials. Conjunctivitis and keratitis occurred more frequently in atopic dermatitis subjects who received EBGLYSS compared to those who received placebo. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Most subjects with conjunctivitis or keratitis recovered during the treatment period. Advise patients to report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider.

Parasitic (Helminth) Infections
Patients with known helminth infections were excluded from participation in clinical studies. It is unknown if EBGLYSS will influence the immune response against helminth infections by inhibiting IL-13 signaling. Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating treatment with EBGLYSS. If patients become infected while receiving EBGLYSS and do not respond to antihelminth treatment, discontinue treatment with EBGLYSS until the infection resolves.

Vaccinations
EBGLYSS may alter a patient’s immunity and increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to therapy with EBGLYSS, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines immediately prior to or during treatment with EBGLYSS. No data are available on the response to live vaccines.

Adverse Reactions

The most common (≥1%) adverse reactions are conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, and herpes zoster.

EBGLYSS is available as a 250mg/2mL subcutaneous injection prefilled pen or prefilled syringe.

INDICATION

EBGLYSS is indicated for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 40 kg with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. EBGLYSS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
