Nemolizumab is an experimental drug for the treatment of itching in people with atopic dermatitis.[1] It is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the interleukin-31 receptor A.[2] Results of a Phase II clinical trial were published in March 2017.[3]

Nemolizumab was invented by Chugai, who sold an exclusive license for the drug's development and worldwide marketing (except Japan and Taiwan) to Galderma in 2016.[4]
