Ligelizumab (INN; development code QGE031) is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of severe asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria.[1] It is an anti-IgE that binds to IGHE an acts as an immunomodulator.[2][3]
This drug was developed by Novartis Pharma AG. Research funded by Novartis Pharma[4] concluded that Ligelizumab was more effective in treating chronic spontaneous urticaria than omalizumab or placebo.[5]
