Eli Lilly And Co · FDA-approved approved Monoclonal antibody Under review Quality 10/100

Ebglyss (generic name: LEBRIKIZUMAB) is a Interleukin-13 Antagonist [EPC] Monoclonal antibody drug developed by Eli Lilly And Co. It is currently FDA-approved (first approved 2025) for Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Ebglyss works by binding to interleukin-13, a protein that promotes inflammation in the skin.

Lebrikizumab, also known as Ebgliss, is an interleukin-13 inhibitor, a type of antibody that targets the Interleukin-13 protein.

Mechanism of action

Lebrikizumab-lbkz is an IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity and slow off-rate to interleukin (IL)-13 and allows IL-13 to bind to IL-13Rα1 but inhibits human IL-13 signaling through the IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα1 receptor complex. IL-13 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in Type 2 inflammation, which is an important component in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. Lebrikizumab-lbkz inhibits IL-13-induced responses including the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and IgE. Lebrikizumab-lbkz-bound IL-13 can still bind IL-13Rα2 allowing subsequent internalization and natural clearance of IL-13.
