Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Systemic treatments for eczema: a network meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 23, 2020 Most studies were placebo-controlled and assessed only short-term efficacy of immunosuppressive agents.

Review, Journal: Targeting Granulocyte-Monocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Signaling in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Future Prospects. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 23, 2020 Mainly because of this reason, nowadays the development program of most GM-CSF blockers for RA has been discontinued, with the exception of otilimab, which is under evaluation in two phase III RCTs with a head-to head non-inferiority design against tofacitinib...Phase II trials are ongoing with the aim of evaluating mavrilimumab for the treatment of giant cell arteritis, and namilumab for the treatment of spondyloarthritis...This review aims to describe in detail the available evidence on the GM-CSF blocking pathway in RA management, paving the way to a possible alternative treatment for RA patients. Novel insights regarding the potential use of GM-CSF blockers for alternative indications will be also addressed.

Clinical, P3 data, Journal: Evaluation of Antibody Properties and Clinically Relevant Immunogenicity, Anaphylaxis, and Hypersensitivity Reactions in Two Phase III Trials of Tralokinumab in Severe, Uncontrolled Asthma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 19, 2020 P3 In STRATOS 1 and 2, ADA incidence was low, no differences were found between tralokinumab-treated and placebo groups in reporting of hypersensitivity reactions, and there were no Sampson criteria-evaluated anaphylaxis events with tralokinumab treatment. Together, the results suggest that tralokinumab treatment would not increase the risk for severe hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions.
