Description | Ixekizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with neutralizing activity against IL-17A. Ixekizumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a recombinant mammalian cell line and purified using standard technology for bioprocessing. Ixekizumab is comprised of two identical light chain polypeptides of 219 amino acids each and two identical heavy chain polypeptides of 445 amino acids each, and has a molecular weight of 146,158 Daltons for the protein backbone of the molecule. |
Indication/Disease | For the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy |
Pharmacodynamics | No formal pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted with TALTZ. |
Mechanism of Action | Ixekizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with the interleukin 17A (IL-17A) cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-17 receptor. IL-17A is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Ixekizumab inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. |

Metabolism | NA |
Absorption | Ixekizumab reached peak mean (±SD) serum concentrations (Cmax) of 16.2 ±6.6 mcg/mL by approximately 4 days post dose. |
