Front cover story Innovation is at the heart of all we do Katherine, pictured left, is one of a team of scientists continuing to develop Nucala after almost 20 years of focused R&D, including nine distinct patient studies. Nucala is a monoclonal antibody that stops IL-5 from binding to its receptor on the surface of eosinophils. In people with asthma, eosinophils – a type of white blood cell – cause inflammation in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe and increasing the risk of asthma attacks. The 2015 European and US regulatory approvals of Nucala – the first-in-class approved targeted biologic therapy for people with eosinophilic-driven severe asthma – consolidates GSK’s leading global position in respiratory medicine.
