Abstract: BackgroundIncreased serum interleukin (IL)-33 predicts poor outcomes in patients hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We examined the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab, a monoclonal antibody that neutralises IL-33, in improving outcomes in ACCORD-2 (EudraCT: 2020–001736-95).MethodsACCORD-2 was an open-label, phase 2a study in adults hospitalised with COVID-19. Patients were randomised 1:1 to tozorakimab 300 mg+standard of care [SoC] or SoC alone. The primary endpoint was time to clinical res… Show more

“…Therefore, ATP/IL-33 co-sensing in infected lung tissues might be a potential mechanism explaining the hyperactivated MC phenotype in SARS-CoV2-infected individuals [14]. Confirming this, the role of activated MCs and of IL-33 in COVID-19 pathogenesis has been shown recently [21,25], demonstrating that released alarmins and MCs are indeed important for hyperinflammatory reactions in peripheral tissues. In this work, we show that in addition to ATP/IL-33 co-sensing, SCF is a further stimulus which enhances the hyperinflammatory MC phenotype.…”

“…Finally, tozorakimab, which can block signaling mediated by both reduced IL-33 and oxidized IL-33 (see Ref. [71]), has been tested in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia [72]; two phase 3 trials in COPD are ongoing. Successful completion of any of these clinical trials would provide essential verification of IL-33 and/or its receptor as key therapeutic targets in COPD.…”
