Results from transcriptomic (RNA Gene Expression) data now published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology:
• Prurigo Nodularis (PN) is a rare, potentially debilitating, chronic neuroimmune skin disease characterized by disfiguring skin nodules covering extensive areas of the body that cause intense itch.
• Nemolizumab is a first-in-class investigational monoclonal antibody that has been shown to block the signaling of IL-31, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of PN.
• The gene expression data published today provides valuable insight into the mechanism of action of nemolizumab and its positive role in addressing patients with moderate to severe PN.

• These data complement previously-published
