- Adbry is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human interleukin-13 (IL-13) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2)1,9
- IL-13 is a naturally occurring cytokine of the Type 2 immune response. Adbry inhibits the bioactivity of IL-13 by blocking IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα receptor complex. Adbry inhibits IL-13-induced responses, including the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and IgE1
Adbry is a targeted biologic therapy and is not an
immunosuppressant or a steroid.1

PHARMACODYNAMICS1
Adbry:
- Was associated with decreased concentrations of Th2 and Th22 immunity biomarkers in the blood, such as thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), periostin, IL-22, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum IgE
- Decreased expression of keratin 16 and Ki-67 in atopic dermatitis skin
- Upregulated protein expression of loricrin
- Suppressed expression of genes in the Th2 pathway, including CCL17, CCL18, and CCL26, as well as markers of Th17- and Th22-regulated genes in lesional skin
The clinical relevance of these biomarkers is not fully understood.
DESCRIPTION1
- Adbry, an interleukin-13 antagonist, is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody. Tralokinumab-ldrm is produced in mouse myeloma cells by recombinant DNA technology, consists of 1326 amino acids, and has a molecular weight of approximately 147 kilodaltons
- Adbry (tralokinumab-ldrm) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution for subcutaneous use supplied as a single-dose prefilled syringe with needle guard in a siliconized Type-1 clear glass syringe. None of the components of the prefilled syringe or the needle guard are made with natural rubber latex
- Each prefilled syringe delivers 150 mg Adbry in 1 mL and the inactive ingredients: acetic acid (0.3 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.1 mg), sodium acetate trihydrate (6 mg), sodium chloride (5 mg), and Water for Injection, at an approximate pH of 5.5
