Drug Overview
Cinqair (reslizumab; Teva) is a humanized monoclonal antibody which targets interleukin (IL)-5. IL-5 has been shown to play a key role in the maturation, growth, and chemotaxis of eosinophils, which are inflammatory white blood cells implicated in a number of allergic diseases, including asthma. Cinqair gained US and EU approvals for use in asthma in an IV formulation in March 2016 and August 2016, respectively. Teva is also developing a subcutaneous formulation of Cinqair, which is in Phase III.
