How SPEVIGO Works

Spesolimab-sbzo is a humanized monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 antibody that binds specifically to the interleukin-36 receptor (IL36R). This binding prevents the receptor from being activated by its ligands, which include IL-36 alpha, beta, and gamma. By inhibiting this signaling, the drug blocks the downstream activation of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic pathways.
