What is Ebglyss?
From the FDA label:Lebrikizumab-lbkz, an interleukin-13 antagonist, is an immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to interleukin (IL)-13 and inhibits IL-13 signaling. Lebrikizumab-lbkz is produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. Lebrikizumab-lbkz has an approximate molecular weight of 145 kDa. EBGLYSS (lebrikizumab-lbkz) injection is a sterile, preservative free, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow to slightly brown solution for subcutaneous use. EBGLYSS is available as either a 250 mg/2 mL single-dose prefilled pen or a single-dose prefilled syringe with needle shield. The EBGLYSS prefilled pen and prefilled syringe with needle shield are not made with natural rubber latex. Each prefilled pen or prefilled syringe delivers 250 mg lebrikizumab-lbkz in 2 mL solution which also contains glacial acetic acid (1.8 mg), histidine (6.2 mg), polysorbate 20 (0.6 mg), sucrose (119.6 mg) and Water for Injection.

Side effects
The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Conjunctivitis and Keratitis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Most common (≥1%) adverse reactions are conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, and herpes zoster. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying and controlled conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Atopic Dermatitis The safety of EBGLYSS was evaluated across 4 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trials in subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis including 3 phase 3 trials (ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, ADhere) and 1 phase 2 dose ranging trial (KGAF). In these 4 trials, mean age was 37 years; 50% of subjects were male; 62% were White, 13% were Black, and 20% were Asian. In terms of co-morbid conditions, in the phase 3 trials, 30% of the subjects had asthma, 50% had allergic rhinitis, 31% had food allergy, and 14% had allergic conjunctivitis at baseline. A total of 891 subjects were treated…
Warnings
Important safety information
Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema and urticaria, have occurred after administration of EBGLYSS. Discontinue EBGLYSS in the event of a serious hypersensitivity reaction. ( 5.1 ) Conjunctivitis and Keratitis: Report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to a healthcare provider. ( 5.2 ) Parasitic (Helminth) Infections: Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating EBGLYSS. If patients become infected while receiving EBGLYSS and do not respond to anti-helminth treatment, discontinue treatment with EBGLYSS until the infection resolves. ( 5.3 ) Vaccinations: Avoid use of live vaccines during treatment with EBGLYSS. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria, have been reported with use of EBGLYSS. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue EBGLYSS and institute appropriate therapy. 5.2 Conjunctivitis and Keratitis Conjunctivitis and keratitis adverse reactions have been reported in clinical trials. Conjunctivitis and keratitis occurred more frequently in atopic dermatitis subjects who received EBGLYSS compared to those who received placebo. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Most subjects with conjunctivitis or keratitis recovered during the treatment period [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Advise patients to report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider. 5.3 Parasitic (Helminth) Infections Patients with known helminth infections were excluded from participation in clinical studies. It is unknown if EBGLYSS will influence the immune response against helminth infections by inhibiting IL-13 signaling. Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating treatment with EBGLYSS. If patients become infected while receiving EBGLYSS and do not respond to antihelminth treatment, discontinue treatment with EBGLYSS until the infection resolves. 5.4 Vaccinations EBGLYSS may alter a patient’s immunity and increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to therapy with EBGLYSS, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines immediately prior to or during treatment with EBGLYSS. No data are available on the response to live vaccines.
