Frequently asked questions about Sonelokimab

What is Sonelokimab?

Sonelokimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed by MoonLake Immunotherapeutics for immunology indications. It is in Phase 3 clinical development for psoriatic arthritis and hidradenitis suppurativa. It has not been approved by the FDA and remains under clinical study.

What is Sonelokimab used for?

Sonelokimab is being studied for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Phase 3 trials are evaluating it in adults with psoriatic arthritis, including patients with an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy, and in adults and adolescents with hidradenitis suppurativa.

What does Sonelokimab target?

Sonelokimab targets both IL-17A and IL-17F, two cytokines involved in inflammatory signaling. By binding both cytokines, the antibody is designed to inhibit IL-17 pathway driven inflammation. This dual IL-17A and IL-17F targeting distinguishes it from antibodies that neutralize only IL-17A.

Who is developing Sonelokimab?

Sonelokimab is being developed by MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MLTX. The company is running the Phase 3 clinical program for the antibody across psoriatic arthritis and hidradenitis suppurativa indications.

What phase is Sonelokimab in?

Sonelokimab is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 program includes trials in psoriatic arthritis and hidradenitis suppurativa, with both placebo-controlled and long-term extension designs.

What clinical trials is Sonelokimab in?

Phase 3 trials include NCT07223138, a long-term study in psoriatic arthritis, NCT07007637, a long-term study in hidradenitis suppurativa, NCT06768671, the VELA-TEEN study in adolescents with hidradenitis suppurativa, and NCT06641089, which evaluates Sonelokimab in psoriatic arthritis patients with an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapy.

Is Sonelokimab the same as M1095?

Yes, Sonelokimab is also known as M1095. Both names refer to the same investigational monoclonal antibody developed by MoonLake Immunotherapeutics. Readers searching for M1095 will find the same Phase 3 program in psoriatic arthritis and hidradenitis suppurativa.
