Why NUCALA?

Patients treated with NUCALA spent significantly longer time in remission by the end of the 1-year study. And more patients had fewer relapses and a lower daily dose of oral steroids as well.

*"Complete remission" was defined as no active vasculitis and a prednisone or prednisolone dose less than or equal to 4 mg per day.
†"Relapse" was defined as worsening symptoms that required increased steroid dose, and/or increase in dose or start of immunosuppressants, and/or hospitalization.

NUCALA is different: it’s a biologic

Most patients with EGPA are first treated with corticosteroids, such as prednisone. Some patients taking corticosteroids are able to achieve remission, but some may experience relapses and require additional medicines to treat their EGPA.

When NUCALA is added to your current treatment plan, it can help reduce your symptoms and flares related to EGPA. NUCALA may also make it possible for your doctor to reduce your steroid dose. Over half the patients who were being treated with NUCALA were able to have their doctors lower their dose of oral steroids to 7.5 mg a day or less—and 1 out of 5 patients no longer required oral steroids at all.

Results may vary. Ask your doctor about taking NUCALA.
