Frequently asked questions about Tozorakimab

What is Tozorakimab used for?

Tozorakimab is an investigational antibody being studied for respiratory conditions including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), viral lung infection and acute respiratory failure. It is also used in healthy participant trials to evaluate bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of different dosage forms.

Who makes Tozorakimab?

Tozorakimab is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company traded under the ticker AZN. The drug is currently in clinical development across multiple studies sponsored by the company.

What phase is Tozorakimab in?

Tozorakimab is in Phase 2 clinical development for COPD, with additional trials in Phase 1 for healthy participants and a Phase 3 trial for viral lung infection. It remains investigational and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Tozorakimab in?

Tozorakimab has been studied in several trials including NCT05624450, a Phase 3 study in patients hospitalised for viral lung infection requiring supplemental oxygen, and NCT06897748, a Phase 2 study in COPD patients with elevated eosinophils. Other trials include NCT06304961 and NCT06908577 in healthy volunteers.

Is Tozorakimab the same as Tozorakimab Dose Regimen 1?

Yes, Tozorakimab is also known as Tozorakimab Dose Regimen 1. This alternative name appears in clinical trial documentation to distinguish specific dosing schedules being evaluated in studies.

How does Tozorakimab work?

Tozorakimab is a monoclonal antibody, indicated by its -mab suffix, designed to target specific pathways involved in respiratory inflammation. As an antibody therapeutic, it is administered via subcutaneous injection and is being evaluated for its ability to modulate immune responses in conditions like COPD and viral infections.
