Itepekimab (REGN-3500) is an IgG4 monoclonal antibody against IL-33. Itepekimab reduced airway inflammation and related tissue damage in preliminary clinical studies. Itepekimab has potential effects in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and atopic dermatitis (AD)[1][2][3][4].
Itepekimab can bind IL-33 with high affinity and prevent the binding of ST2 D3 domain to IL-33, thus preventing the formation of IL-33/ST2/IL-1RAcP signaling complex and blocking the production of airway inflammatory mediator[4].Itepekimab also binds with subnanomolar affinity to different IL-33 cleavage variants, blocks NF-kB signaling in reporter cell lines, and prevents cytokine release from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell[4].
Itepekimab ameliorates type 1 and type 2 lung inflammation and prevents characteristic lung remodeling in mice. Itepekimab prevents IL-33/ST2/IL-1RAcP complex formation and reconstitutes ciliated cells in a mouse model of persistent airway inflammation[4].
