Nektar plans to move forward with Rezpeg and will initiate a Phase 2b study in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in 2023. The company will also explore other auto-immune indications for the development plan for Rezpeg. Rezpeg evidenced a dose-dependent improvement over placebo for key efficacy measures of mean change in EASI, EASI-75, vIGA-AD scores, and Itch NRS greater than or equal to4-point scales. These improvements were observed for an additional 36 weeks following the 12-week treatment period.
