Active ingredient

Spesolimab

Spesolimab is a humanised antagonistic monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody blocking human IL36R signalling. Binding of spesolimab to IL36R prevents the subsequent activation of IL36R by cognate ligands (IL36 α, β and γ) and downstream activation of pro-inflammatory pathways.
