What is Adbry (tralokinumab-ldrm) for?

How does Adbry (tralokinumab-ldrm) work?
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy skin cells.[2,3]
The active substance in Adbry, tralokinumab, binds to the cytokine interleukin-13 (IL-13). IL-13 is a protein that is found to be increased in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis. By blocking IL-13’s action, Adbry helps reduce the inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis.[2,3]
