Patients with severe Th2 type asthma often have a steroid resistant phenotype and are
prone to acute exacerbations. Current novel therapies have only marginal therapeutic
effects. One of the hypotheses for lack of major efficacy in most patients is targeting only one
redundant pathway leaving others active. Hence, we have designed and developed novel
highly potent bispecific anti-TSLP/IL13 antibodies called Zweimabs (monovalent bispecific)

Abstract
Patients with severe Th2 type asthma often have a steroid resistant phenotype and are prone to acute exacerbations. Current novel therapies have only marginal therapeutic effects. One of the hypotheses for lack of major efficacy in most patients is targeting only one redundant pathway leaving others active. Hence, we have designed and developed novel highly potent bispecific anti-TSLP/IL13 antibodies called Zweimabs (monovalent bispecific) and Doppelmabs (bivalent bispecific) that concurrently inhibits the signaling by these two cytokines.
