ASLAN Pharmaceuticals Pte Ltd believes it has a competitive dosing profile for its IL-13 inhibitor eblasakimab in atopic dermatitis and other allergic inflammatory conditions, based on new Phase II results. But the company still needs to run Phase III trials and, even if the drug is eventually approved, it will face a fiercely competitive market dominated by Sanofi/Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s entrenched mega-blockbuster IL-4/IL-13 inhibitor Dupixent (dupilumab).

Key Takeaways

  • Phase IIb trial shows the highest dose of the IL-13 inhibitor eblasakimab in AD compares favorably to what was seen in clinical trials testing Dupixent.

Eblasakimab is the first biologic to demonstrate a competitive efficacy profile with once-monthly dosing in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis at 16...
