On February 25, the marketing application of Akeso Biopharma's IL-4R antibody mandocimab injection was accepted by the NMPA.
In August 2025, Akeso announced that its IL-4R antibody, mandocizumab, had achieved all efficacy endpoints in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and planned to apply for market approval.
Based on inter-study comparisons (non-head-to-head), the efficacy data of mandocizumab is superior to that of the marketed product Dupixent, and it is being further expanded to adolescents.
Sanofi's IL-4R antibody, Dupixent, is the world's best-selling autoimmune drug, with sales of $18.5 billion in 2025.
