Mepolizumab, a comprehensible monoclonal antibody that inhibits interleukin-5 (IL-5), offers a new therapeutic option for a subset of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) marked by eosinophilic inflammation. Despite the success of conventional inhaled therapies, a significant proportion of COPD patients continue to experience exacerbations. This review discusses the mechanism, clinical trials, safety profile, and future potential of mepolizumab, the first and only FDA-approved biologic for COPD.
美泊利珠单抗是一种可理解的抑制白细胞介素-5（IL-5）的单克隆抗体，为一部分以嗜酸性粒细胞炎症为特征的慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者提供了一种新的治疗选择。尽管传统吸入疗法取得了成功，但仍有相当一部分COPD患者继续经历病情加重。本综述讨论了美泊利珠单抗的作用机制、临床试验、安全性概况以及未来潜力，它是首个也是唯一一个获美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准用于COPD的生物制剂。
