EAACI Congress 2025 Marks Turning Point In Allergy, Immunology
KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) -- The leadership of European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is reflecting on what they describe as a pivotal moment for the field, a month after the conclusion of EAACI Congress 2025 in Glasgow. The congress is being hailed as a turning point in allergy and immunology, making headlines not only for its scale but also for the bold, forward-thinking message delivered by its leadership. Over 7,600 delegates attended. Held from June 13 to 16 at Scottish Event Campus, the event embraced the theme, 'Breaking Boundaries in Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology: Integrating Planetary Health for a Sustainable Future', according to a statement. 'This year's Congress was a turning point. We are entering an era where scientific innovation, equity in care, and environmental health must move forward together,' said EAACI President, Prof Maria Torres. Meanwhile, EAACI Vice President Congresses, Prof André Moreira said: 'The spirit of collaboration we witnessed in Glasgow was extraordinary. This energy is now translating into real-world initiatives and global partnerships.' The programme featured over 250 hours of lectures, workshops, and symposia, covering groundbreaking advances in drug allergy, T2 inflammation, paediatric asthma, and hereditary angioedema. A Presidential Symposium on antimicrobial resistance adopted a One Health approach, while a standout session on climate change and insect allergy spotlighted the ecological challenges reshaping patient care. Beyond the conference halls, the congress activated the city of Glasgow through community engagement initiatives. The Clinical Village at the Glasgow Science Centre welcomed the public for interactive allergy education, and the Beat Allergy Walk & Run raised funds for the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, exemplifying EAACI's commitment to public health and outreach. EAACI 2025 also reinforced its priorities in mentorship, digital health innovation, and patient empowerment, signalling a holistic approach to the future of allergy and clinical immunology.

Zai Lab Presents New Preclinical Data for ZL-1503, an IL-13/IL-31R Bispecific Antibody for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis, at EAACI Congress 2025
-Data highlights potential of ZL-1503 as a promising treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and other IL-13 and IL-31-driven diseases -Favorable preclinical safety profile, prolonged half-life and durable suppression of both inflammatory and pruritogenic pathways support advancement of ZL-1503 to IND-enabling studies -Zai Lab plans to file an IND for ZL-1503 for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis by the end of 2025 SHANGHAI & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) today announced new data from its preclinical study of ZL-1503, the Company's promising IL-13/IL-31R bispecific antibody, demonstrating its ability to simultaneously suppress the inflammatory and pruritogenic (itch-causing) pathways in atopic dermatitis (AD). The findings, featured during a poster presentation at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland, highlight the potential of ZL-1503 as a novel treatment option for moderate-to-severe AD. Medications that inhibit IL-4/IL-13 signaling have markedly improved the therapeutic landscape for AD. Certain AD symptoms are mediated by IL-31; however, they are only partially alleviated by IL-4/IL-13 inhibition. As a result, many patients experience slow and modest clinical responses to currently available medications. ZL-1503 was evaluated in a pilot preclinical study in non-human primates to assess its long-term effects on IL-31-mediated scratching and IL-13-induced signaling (pSTAT6). Key study results presented at the EAACI Congress 2025 include: An intravenous single dose of ZL-1503 (10 mg/kg, iv) completely inhibited IL-13-mediated pSTAT6 and IL-31-induced scratching for at least 76 days in all preclinical subjects. Two out of three subjects exhibited prolonged IL-13-mediated pSTAT6 inhibition for over 118 days, and one out of three subjects sustained IL-31-induced scratching inhibition for over 133 days. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of serum samples collected during the study revealed that ZL-1503 exhibited slow clearance, correlating closely pharmacodynamic (PD) responses, demonstrating strong PK/PD relationships in blocking IL-13 and IL-31 pathways in the preclinical model. ZL-1503 was well tolerated following weekly IV dosing up to 150 mg/kg. Additionally, in vitro studies showed that binding to one target did not affect ZL-1503's blocking effects on the other target. Details regarding the ZL-1503 poster presentation at EAACI Congress 2025 are as follows: Title: ZL-1503: A Bispecific Antibody Targeting Inflammatory and Pruritogenic Pathways with a Prolonged Serum Half-life and Sustained Activity in Non-human Primates Presenter: Linda Liu, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Biologics Discovery, Zai LabSession Title: Thematic Poster Session 18 (TPS18), Biologicals 01Date/Time: Friday, June 13, 2025, from 12:00 - 13:00 BSTAbstract Number and Location: n°000625 & Poster Prefix D1.365, Poster Zone About Zai Lab Zai Lab is an innovative, research-based, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company based in China and the United States.
