NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

lutikizumab

A dual-variable domain (DVD) immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1k) against the inflammatory cytokine human interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1a) and beta (IL-1b), with potential anti-inflammatory activity. Upon administration, lutikizumab targets, binds to, and neutralizes IL-1a/b thereby preventing the activity of IL-1a and IL-1b. This may inhibit IL1a/b-mediated inflammatory responses. This may reduce pain and slows tissue destruction and structural progression in diseases in which IL-1a/b are upregulated. IL1a/b, inflammatory mediators, play key roles in immune regulation and inflammatory processes.
