Overview

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disorder that causes skin inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and chronic pruritus. It is estimated to affect up to 20% of adults and children worldwide, and is frequently associated with other atopic conditions such as asthma or allergic rhinitis. While AD is a heterogenous condition with a variety of apparent genetic and environmental causes, it is primarily driven by the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-13 (IL-13). Tralokinumab is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeted against IL-13. It neutralizes IL-13 activity by inhibiting its ability to bind with receptors, thus helping to alleviate AD symptoms. Tralokinumab was first approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis by the EMA in June 2021, under the brand name Adtralza (Leo Pharma), and was subsequently approved in Canada in October 2021 and the US in December 2021.
