How does Dupilumab work?


Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits signaling by interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptors. Thereby, the active ingredient reduces the inflammatory processes and symptoms that occur in atopic dermatitis, certain forms of asthma and COPD, as well as other diseases that are associated with high concentrations of IL-4 and IL-13.
