To summarize recent advances in interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 blockade in the treatment of asthma. Historically, anti-cytokine therapies have historically been unsuccessful in the treatment of asthma because of the heterogeneity of asthma. Recent advances in our understanding of asthma pathophysiology and our increased ability to phenotype patients has led to the identification of asthmatic subsets (endotypes) that are most likely to respond to anti-cytokine therapy. Several new biologic therapies targeting IL-13 or both IL-4 and IL-13 signaling are currently in clinical trials both types of therapies have demonstrated therapeutic benefit. Anti-IL-4/13 therapies, guided by knowledge of an individuals’ underlying pathophysiology, are a promising class of therapies for treatment of asthma.
