†28% of people taking NUCALA had one or more flares or withdrew from the study, compared to 56% of people not taking NUCALA. Flares defined as worsening of signs/symptoms of HES or increase in blood eosinophil levels (on at least 2 exams) that required an increase in steroids and/or other HES therapy.

  • What is NUCALA?

    NUCALA is a prescription medicine for the treatment of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) in people who are 12 years old or older. NUCALA helps reduce HES symptoms and prevent flares.

    Is NUCALA a steroid?

    • It’s not a steroid like prednisone; it’s a biologic
    • It is the first approved treatment for patients with HES that targets eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that is elevated in HES

  • What else should you know about NUCALA?

    Eosinophils are a normal part of your immune system, but in higher numbers, they can lead to inflammation. NUCALA helps reduce eosinophils in the blood, so it treats a source of HES.
