Abstract

 Lebrikizumab (Ebglyss®) is a subcutaneous recombinant humanized IgG4 anti-IL-13 monoclonal antibody developed by Almirall S.A. and Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). In November 2023, lebrikizumab was approved in the EU for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in adults and adolescents 12 years and older with a body weight of at least 40 kg who are candidates for systemic therapy. In December 2023, lebrikizumab was approved  in the UK for the same indication. Lebrikizumab is under regulatory review for the treatment of AD in the USA, Switzerland, Japan and Australia. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of lebrikizumab leading to this first approval for AD.
