Nemolizumab, sold under the brand name Nemluvio, is a medication used for the treatment of prurigo nodularis.[1] It is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the interleukin-31 receptor A.[1][2]
Nemolizumab was invented by Chugai, who sold an exclusive license for the drug's development and worldwide marketing (except Japan and Taiwan) to Galderma in 2016.[3]
Nemolizumab was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2024.[2][4][5]
Medical uses
[edit]Nemolizumab is indicated for the treatment of adults with prurigo nodularis.[1][2]
History
[edit]The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved nemolizumab based on evidence from two clinical trials (OLYMPIA 1 and OLYMPIA 2) of 560 participants with prurigo nodularis.[2] The trials were conducted at 132 sites in 16 countries including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[2] The trials included 99 participants inside the United States.[2] Among the 560 enrolled participants, all of them were evaluated for efficacy (Intent-to-Treat population) and 556 participants were evaluated for safety.[2] In both trials, participants with prurigo nodularis were randomized to receive nemolizumab or placebo.[2] Participants weighing less than 90 kilograms (200 lb) in the nemolizumab group received subcutaneous injections of nemolizumab 60 mg at week 0, followed by 30 mg injections every four weeks.[2] Participants weighing 90 kilograms (200 lb) or more in the nemolizumab group received subcutaneous injections of nemolizumab 60 mg at week 0 and every four weeks.[2]
