Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Efmarodocokin alfa is a recombinant human IL-22-Fc IgG4 fusion protein that acts as an agonist of the heterodimeric Interleukin-22α1/10β receptor which is expressed by epithelial cells. It activates the IL-22 signaling pathway without inducing systemic inflammation or causing immunosuppression. Efmarodocokin alfa was developed for potential to treat infectious or inflammatory diseases [2]. The most advanced investigation of its clinical utility has been of its potential to induce repair of the intestinal epithelial damage that is caused by inflammatory bowel diseases [1].

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Efmarodocokin alfa was advanced to clinical studies to evaluate its potential to promote recovery of epithelial injury in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, and seperately to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Wound-healing and repair potential is under investigation for intractable diabetic foot ulcers. Efmarodocokin alfa has also been evaluated for potential to treat hospitalised patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; which causes widespread epithelial injury in the lungs, vasculature and other tissues).
