Detailed Information

How it works

Tezspire is a monoclonal antibody that targets thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a key molecule involved in initiating airway inflammation. By blocking TSLP, Tezspire may help reduce inflammation that plays a role in severe asthma, typically in patients who are not well controlled on other treatments.

Clinical applications

Tezspire is indicated for add-on maintenance treatment in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) with severe asthma. It may be helpful regardless of patients’ eosinophil levels, making it an option for a wide range of severe asthma types. According to the registration information, it should be prescribed after evaluating individual medical history and asthma severity.
