Nucala can now be used in adults for the treatment of a rare autoimmune disease, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, which causes vasculitis, an inflammation in the wall of blood vessels. EGPA, formerly known as Churg Strauss Syndrome, is a condition characterized by asthma, high levels of a type of white blood cell and inflammation in blood vessels.
The FDA first approved Nucala in 2015 to treat patients with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype.
