Proteologix’s lineup includes PX128, a bispecific antibody that targets both IL-13 plus TSLP. PX128 is poised to advance into phase 1 development for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and asthma. Similarly, PX130, another bispecific antibody targeting IL-13 and IL-22, is in preclinical stages aimed at addressing moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma are heterogeneous conditions characterized by diverse pathogenic pathways across different patient groups. Therefore, targeting multiple pathways could enhance efficacy and potentially achieve remission. PX128 addresses IL-13-mediated Th2-driven skin inflammation, a pivotal pathway in both AD and asthma, and also targets TSLP, contributing to tissue inflammation in these diseases. Likewise, PX130 mitigates IL-13-mediated Th2 skin inflammation and additionally inhibits IL-22 to help restore the skin barrier and prevent inflammation from external factors like allergens. Both products are designed for less frequent dosing, offering greater convenience for patients. Collectively, these treatments highlight a strategic endeavor to build a portfolio of unique and synergistic bispecific antibodies.

Beyond PX128 and PX130, the acquisition will equip J&J with additional bispecific antibody programs applicable to a range of diseases, further enhancing the firm's capability to develop innovative bispecific therapies.

“Incorporating Proteologix bispecific antibodies into our portfolio marks a crucial initial step towards our commitment to individuals with AD,” stated Candice Long, Worldwide Vice President, Immunology, Johnson & Johnson. “We intend to broaden our impact, providing advanced and more targeted treatment options for those living with various immune-mediated conditions, thereby helping them achieve sustainable, symptom-free remission.”
