What is Nemluvio?

From the FDA label:Nemolizumab-ilto, an interleukin-31 receptor alpha (IL-31RA) antagonist, is a humanized monoclonal modified immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody with a molecular weight of approximately 144 kDa. Nemolizumab-ilto is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. NEMLUVIO (nemolizumab-ilto) for injection is a sterile, preservative-free, white lyophilized powder in a dualchamber, single-dose, prefilled pen for subcutaneous use. One chamber contains 30 mg of nemolizumab-ilto with inactive ingredients arginine hydrochloride (9.5 mg), poloxamer 188 (0.15 mg), sucrose (25.8 mg), trometamol (0.10 mg), and tris hydrochloride for pH adjustment. The diluent, water for injection, is in the other chamber. Following reconstitution, each prefilled pen delivers 30 mg/0.49 mL of nemolizumab-ilto with a pH of 6.7 to 7.3.
