CONTRAINDICATIONS
EBGLYSS is contraindicated in patients with prior serious hypersensitivity to lebrikizumab-lbkz or any excipients of EBGLYSS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
5
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria, have been
reported with use of EBGLYSS. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs,
discontinue EBGLYSS and institute appropriate therapy.
5.2 Conjunctivitis and Keratitis Conjunctivitis and keratitis adverse reactions have been reported in clinical trials.
Conjunctivitis and keratitis occurred more frequently in atopic dermatitis subjects who received EBGLYSS compared to those who received placebo. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Most subjects with conjunctivitis or keratitis recovered during the treatment period [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Advise patients to report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider.
5.3 Parasitic (Helminth) Infections
Patients with known helminth infections were excluded from participation in
clinical studies. It is unknown if EBGLYSS will influence the immune response
against helminth infections by inhibiting IL-13 signaling.
Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating treatment with EBGLYSS. If patients become infected while receiving EBGLYSS and do not respond to antihelminth treatment, discontinue treatment with EBGLYSS until the infection resolves.
5.4 Vaccinations
EBGLYSS may alter a patient’s immunity and increase the risk of infection
following administration of live vaccines. Prior to therapy with EBGLYSS,
complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization
guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines immediately prior to or during
treatment with EBGLYSS. No data are available on the response to live
vaccines.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: · Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] · Conjunctivitis and Keratitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying and controlled
conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug
cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug
and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Atopic Dermatitis
The safety of EBGLYSS was evaluated across 4 randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled, multicenter trials in subjects with moderate-to-severe
atopic dermatitis including 3 phase 3 trials (ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, ADhere)
and 1 phase 2 dose ranging trial (KGAF). In these 4 trials, mean age was 37
years; 50% of subjects were male; 62% were White, 13% were Black, and 20% were
Asian. In terms of co-morbid conditions, in the phase 3 trials, 30% of the
subjects had asthma, 50% had allergic rhinitis, 31% had food allergy, and 14%
had allergic conjunctivitis at baseline.
A total of 891 subjects were treated with EBGLYSS for at least 1 year in the
atopic dermatitis development program.
ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, and KGAF compared the safety of EBGLYSS monotherapy to
placebo. ADhere compared the safety of EBGLYSS + TCS to placebo + TCS through
16 weeks. All subjects from the phase 3 trials were allowed to enroll in the
long-term extension study.

In the monotherapy trials (ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, and KGAF) through Week 16,
the proportion of subjects who
discontinued treatment due to adverse events was 2.4% in the EBGLYSS 250 mg
every 2 weeks group and 1.8% in the placebo group. In the TCS trial (ADhere)
through Week 16, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment due to
adverse events was 2.1% in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks + TCS group and 0%
in the placebo + TCS group. The most common adverse reactions leading to
discontinuation of EBGLYSS compared to the placebo group were
conjunctivitis and keratitis (0.6% vs. 0.3%), and injection site reactions
(0.2% vs. 0) in the monotherapy trials; and conjunctivitis (0.7% vs. 0), and
injection site reactions (0.7% vs. 0) in the TCS trial.
Eosinophilia
Increased post-baseline blood eosinophils were observed at a higher frequency
in EBGLYSS-treated subjects compared to placebo. During the first 16 weeks,
eosinophilia (>5000 cells/mcL) was observed in 0.4% in the EBGLYSS-treated
subjects and 0% in subjects receiving placebo. Blood eosinophil elevations
were generally transient and did not result in discontinuation.
Safety Weeks 16 to 52
Among those EBGLYSS-treated subjects who responded at Week 16 and who were re-
randomized in the maintenance period of the monotherapy trials ADvocate 1 and
ADvocate 2, a total of 113 and 118 subjects received EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2
weeks or every 4 weeks, respectively. The safety profile of EBGLYSS 250 mg
every 4 weeks was generally consistent with EBGLYSS every 2 weeks during Weeks
16 to 52. The safety profile of EBGLYSS during maintenance treatment was
generally consistent with the safety profile observed through Week 16.
Specific Adverse Drug Reactions
Conjunctivitis and Keratitis
Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Most cases of
conjunctivitis and keratitis were mild or moderate in severity and recovered
or resolved without treatment interruption or discontinuation.
During the initial 16-week treatment period of the monotherapy trials,
conjunctivitis, including allergic conjunctivitis, was reported by 61 subjects
(10%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks group and 10 subjects (3%) in the
placebo group. In the TCS concomitant therapy trial, conjunctivitis was
reported by 7 subjects (5%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks + TCS group
compared to 0% in the placebo + TCS group. During the 16-week placebo-
controlled induction
Reference ID: 5446553
This label may not be the latest approved by FDA. For current labeling information, please visit https://www.fda.gov/drugsatfda
period, 68 subjects reported 73 events of conjunctivitis. All events were
nonserious and mild or moderate in severity. Conjunctivitis led to treatment
discontinuation in 3 subjects. The exposure adjusted incidence rate of
conjunctivitis for subjects treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks was 30.6
events per 100 patient years through Week 16 (KGAF, ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2,
ADhere).
During the maintenance treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ADvocate 1
and ADvocate 2) from 16 to 52 weeks, conjunctivitis, including allergic
conjunctivitis, was reported by 2 subjects (1.8%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every
2 weeks group and 12 subjects (10.1%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 4 weeks
group, compared to 5 subjects (8.3%) in the placebo group. During the
maintenance treatment period, 14 subjects treated with EBGLYSS reported 18
events of conjunctivitis. All events were mild or moderate in severity.
Conjunctivitis led to treatment discontinuation in 2 subjects in the EBGLYSS
250 mg every 4 weeks group. The exposure adjusted incidence rate of
conjunctivitis for subjects treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks was 18.3
events per 100 patient years and for those treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 4
weeks was 20.6 events per 100 patient years through Week 52 (ADvocate 1,
ADvocate 2, ADhere + the long-term extension study).
During the initial 16-week treatment period of the monotherapy trials,
keratitis, including atopic and vernal keratoconjunctivitis, was reported by 4
subjects (0.6%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks group and 1 subject (0.3%)
in the placebo group. In the TCS concomitant therapy trial, vernal
keratoconjunctivitis was reported by 1 subject (0.7%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg
every 2 weeks + TCS group, compared to 0% in the placebo + TCS group. During
the 16-week placebo-controlled induction period, 5 subjects reported 7 events
of keratitis. All events were nonserious and mild or moderate in severity.
Keratitis led to treatment discontinuation in 2 subjects. The exposure
adjusted incidence rate of keratitis for subjects treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg
every 2 weeks was 2.2 events per 100 patient years through Week 16 (KGAF,
ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2, ADhere).
During the maintenance treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ADvocate 1
and ADvocate 2) from 16 to 52 weeks, atopic keratoconjunctivitis was reported
by 1 subject (0.8%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg every 4 weeks group, and vernal
keratoconjunctivitis was reported by 1 subject (0.9%) in the EBGLYSS 250 mg
every 2 weeks group, compared to 0% in the placebo group. One (0.9%) event of
severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis in an EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks subject
led to treatment discontinuation. The exposure adjusted incidence rate of
keratitis for subjects treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks was 1.0 event
per 100 patient years and for those treated with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 4 weeks
was 0.7 events per 100 patient years through Week 52 (ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2,
ADhere + the long-term extension study).
Injection Site Reactions
Injection site reactions were reported by 3% of the EBGLYSS group and 1% of
the placebo group in the first 16 weeks of the monotherapy trials. Incidence
of injection site reactions declined with continued treatment. Most events
were mild or moderate and recovered without treatment discontinuation.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Available data on lebrikizumab-lbkz use in pregnant women are insufficient to
evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or
other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Transport of human IgG antibody
across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses and peaks during the
third trimester; therefore, lebrikizumab-lbkz may be transmitted from the
mother to the developing fetus. In animal reproduction studies, no effects on
embryo-fetal development were observed after subcutaneous administration of
lebrikizumab-lbkz to cynomolgus monkeys during organogenesis at doses up to 18
times the human exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) (see
Data).
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse
outcomes. The background risk of major
birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the
U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects
and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%,
respectively.
Report pregnancies to Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979).
Reference ID: 5446553
This label may not be the latest approved by FDA. For current labeling
information, please visit https://www.fda.gov/drugsatfda
Data Animal Data In an embryofetal development study, no malformations or
embryofetal toxicity were observed in fetuses from pregnant cynomolgus monkeys
administered lebrikizumab-lbkz during organogenesis at doses up to 150 mg/kg
initial dose followed by 50 mg/kg per week by subcutaneous injection, which
was associated with plasma exposure (Cavg,ss) approximately 18 times the human
exposure at the MRHD. Lebrikizumab-lbkz crossed the placenta in monkeys.
In a prenatal and postnatal development study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys
were administered lebrikizumab-lbkz during organogenesis to parturition at
doses up to 150 mg/kg initial dose followed by 50 mg/kg per week by
subcutaneous injection, which was associated with plasma exposure (Cavg,ss)
approximately 18 times the human exposure at the MRHD. No embryofetal toxicity
or malformations, or effects on morphological, functional, or immunological
development were observed in the infants from birth through 6 months of age.
8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of lebrikizumab-
lbkz in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on
milk production. Endogenous IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred in
human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited
systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to lebrikizumab-lbkz are unknown.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered
along with the mother’s clinical need for EBGLYSS and any potential adverse
effects on the breastfed infant from EBGLYSS or from the underlying maternal
condition.
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of EBGLYSS have been
established in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who weigh at least
40 kg with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not
adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those
therapies are not advisable. A total of 372 pediatric subjects were exposed to
EBGLYSS with 270 subjects exposed to EBGLYSS for at least one year. The safety
and effectiveness were generally consistent between pediatric and adult
subjects [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Studies (14.1)].
The safety and effectiveness of EBGLYSS have not been established in pediatric
patients younger than 12 years of age and pediatric patients 12 years and
older who weigh less than 40 kg.
8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 1348 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic
dermatitis exposed to EBGLYSS, a total of 123 were 65 years or older, and 29
subjects were 75 years or older. Clinical studies of EBGLYSS did not include
sufficient numbers of subjects 65 years of age and older to determine whether
they respond differently from younger adult subjects [see Clinical
Pharmacology (12.3)].
10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdosage, contact Poison Control
(1-800-222-1222) for the latest
recommendations and monitor the patient for any signs or symptoms of adverse
reactions and institute appropriate symptomatic treatment immediately.
11 DESCRIPTION Lebrikizumab-lbkz, an interleukin-13 antagonist, is an
immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to interleukin (IL)-13
and inhibits IL-13 signaling. Lebrikizumab-lbkz is produced in Chinese Hamster
Ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. Lebrikizumab-lbkz has an
approximate molecular weight of 145 kDa.
EBGLYSS (lebrikizumab-lbkz) injection is a sterile, preservative free, clear
to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow to slightly brown solution for
subcutaneous use. EBGLYSS is available as either a 250 mg/2 mL single-dose
prefilled pen or a single-dose prefilled syringe with needle shield. The
EBGLYSS prefilled pen and prefilled syringe with needle shield are not made
with natural rubber latex.
Each prefilled pen or prefilled syringe delivers 250 mg lebrikizumab-lbkz in 2
mL solution which also contains glacial acetic acid (1.8 mg), histidine (6.2
mg), polysorbate 20 (0.6 mg), sucrose (119.6 mg) and Water for Injection. The
pH is 5.4 6.0.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Lebrikizumab-lbkz is an IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity
and slow off-rate to interleukin (IL)-13 and allows IL-13 to bind to IL-13R1
but inhibits human IL-13 signaling through the IL-4R/IL-13R1 receptor complex.
IL-13 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in Type 2
inflammation, which is an important component in the pathogenesis of atopic
dermatitis. Lebrikizumab-lbkz inhibits IL-13-induced responses including the
release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and IgE. Lebrikizumab-lbkz-
bound IL-13 can still bind IL-13R2 allowing subsequent internalization and
natural clearance of IL-13.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In clinical studies, lebrikizumab-lbkz reduced the levels of serum periostin,
total immunoglobulin E (IgE), CC chemokine ligand (CCL)17 [thymus and
activation-regulated chemokine (TARC)], CCL18 [pulmonary and activation-
regulated chemokine (PARC)], and CCL13 [monocyte chemotactic protein-4
(MCP-4)]. The clinical relevance of these biomarkers is not completely
understood.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Lebrikizumab-lbkz steady-state exposure following either a subcutaneous dose
of 250 mg every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks in patients with atopic dermatitis
are presented in Table 2. Lebrikizumab-lbkz exposure increases
doseproportionally over a subcutaneous dose range of 37.5 to 500 mg.
Lebrikizumab-lbkz steady state is achieved at Week 4 following the approved
recommended loading doses.

Absorption Following a single subcutaneous 250 mg dose of lebrikizumab-lbkz,
peak serum concentrations were achieved approximately 7 to 8 days post dose.
The absolute bioavailability for a subcutaneous dose was approximately 86%.
Injection site locations did not influence the absorption of lebrikizumab-
lbkz.
Distribution The lebrikizumab-lbkz steady-state volume of distribution is 5.14
L.
Metabolism/Elimination Lebrikizumab-lbkz is expected to be degraded into small
peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as
endogenous IgG.
The lebrikizumab-lbkz half-life is 24.5 days and clearance is 0.154 L/day.
Lebrikizumab-lbkz exhibits linear elimination that is independent of dose.
Specific Populations Age, Sex, Race Age, sex, or race did not have a
significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of lebrikizumab-lbkz.
Weight Lebrikizumab-lbkz trough concentrations were lower in subjects with higher body weight.

Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment Specific clinical pharmacology
studies to evaluate the effects of renal impairment and hepatic impairment on
the pharmacokinetics of lebrikizumab-lbkz have not been conducted.
Lebrikizumab-lbkz, as a monoclonal antibody, is not expected to undergo
significant hepatic or renal elimination. No clinically significant
differences in the pharmacokinetics of lebrikizumab-lbkz were observed in
patients with mild or moderate renal impairment.
Drug Interaction Studies The effect of lebrikizumab-lbkz on the PK of co-
administered medications has not been studied.
12.6 Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the
sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods
preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in
the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in
other studies, including those of EBGLYSS or of other drug products.
Antibodies to lebrikizumab-lbkz developed in 4/145 (2.8%) of subjects treated
with EBGLYSS 250 mg every 2 weeks followed by 250 mg every four weeks during
the 12-month treatment period in EBGLYSS studies. Most of these antibodies
were neutralizing and of low titer. Similar results were observed in pediatric
subjects who received EBGLYSS up to 12 months. The presence of anti-drug
antibodies was not associated with changes to pharmacokinetics, efficacy, or
safety of lebrikizumab-lbkz. The clinical relevance of these findings is
unknown because of the low occurrence of ADA.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Animal studies have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or
mutagenic potential of lebrikizumab-lbkz.
No effects on fertility parameters such as reproductive organs, reproductive
hormones or menstrual cycle length were observed in sexually mature female
cynomolgus monkeys that were administered intravenous doses of lebrikizumab-
lbkz up to 25 mg/kg/week for 37 weeks, which was associated with plasma
exposure (Cavg,ss) approximately 15 times the human exposure at the MRHD. No
effects on reproductive organs or sperm analysis were observed in sexually
mature male cynomolgus monkeys that were administered subcutaneous doses of
lebrikizumab-lbkz up to 25 mg/kg/week for 13 weeks, which was associated with
plasma exposure (Cavg,ss) approximately 11 times the human exposure at the
MRHD.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Atopic Dermatitis
Three multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials,
ADvocate 1, ADvocate 2 and ADhere (NCT04146363, NCT04178967, NCT04250337)
enrolled a total of 1062 subjects 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-
severe atopic dermatitis not adequately controlled by topical medication(s)
and who were candidates for systemic therapy. A total of 148 subjects (14%)
were 12 to <18 years who weighed at least 40 kg and 914 (86%) were adult
subjects. Disease severity was defined by an Investigator’s Global Assessment
(IGA) score 3 in the overall assessment of AD lesions on a severity scale of 0
to 4, an Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score 16 on a scale of 0 to 72,
and a minimum body surface area involvement of 10%.
At baseline, 50% of subjects were male, 63% were White, 11% were Black or
African American, and 21% were Asian; 12.8% identified as Hispanic or Latino,
63% of subjects had a baseline IGA score of 3 (moderate AD) and 37% of
subjects had a baseline IGA of 4 (severe AD). The baseline mean EASI was 29,
and the baseline Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was 7 on a scale of 0-10.
Of all subjects, 99% had received prior treatment for AD.
In all three trials, subjects in the EBGLYSS group received subcutaneous
injections of EBGLYSS 500 mg at Week 0 and at Week 2, followed by 250 mg every
other week (Q2W) through Week 16.
To evaluate the maintenance and durability of response in the monotherapy
trials (ADvocate 1 and ADvocate 2), subjects originally randomized to EBGLYSS
who achieved an IGA score of 0 or 1, or at least a 75% reduction in EASI from
baseline [EASI-75] at Week 16 and did not require rescue therapy were re-
randomized to an additional 36 weeks of either a maintenance dose of EBGLYSS
250 mg Q2W (every 2 weeks), EBGLYSS 250 mg Q4W (every 4 weeks), or placebo.
Reference ID: 5446553
This label may not be the latest approved by FDA. For current labeling information, please visit https://www.fda.gov/drugsatfda
Subjects who did not achieve IGA 0 or 1 or EASI-75 at Week 16 or subjects who required rescue therapy during the first 16 weeks were treated with open-label EBGLYSS 250 mg Q2W.
In the concomitant therapy trial (ADhere), subjects received EBGLYSS + TCS or placebo + TCS. Topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) were permitted for sensitive areas only, such as the face, neck, intertriginous and genital areas.
All three trials assessed the primary endpoint, the proportion of subjects who achieved an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and at least a 2-point improvement from baseline at Week 16. Other evaluated outcomes at Week 16 included the proportion of subjects with EASI-75 and EASI-90, and improvement in itch severity as defined by a reduction of at least 4 points on an 11-point Pruritus NRS. ADvocate 1 and ADvocate 2 also evaluated the maintenance and durability of response through Week 52.
The results of the EBGLYSS monotherapy trials (ADvocate 1 and ADvocate 2) are presented in Table 3.

Examination of age, sex, and White, Asian, Black or African American race
subgroups did not identify differences in response to EBGLYSS among these
subgroups. The database was not large enough to adequately assess differences
in effects in other races. The results in the concomitant therapy trial
(ADhere) at Week 16, where subjects received EBGLYSS + TCS or placebo + TCS
were consistent with the results in the monotherapy trials (ADvocate 1 and
ADvocate 2). Maintenance and Durability of Response (Week 16 to Week 52)
EBGLYSS-treated subjects achieving IGA 0 or 1 or EASI-75, and who did not
receive rescue therapy at Week 16 were rerandomized to 36 weeks of maintenance
treatment with EBGLYSS 250 mg Q2W, EBGLYSS 250 mg Q4W, or placebo in ADvocate
1 and ADvocate 2. The results are presented in Table 4.
