We really found them in the aughts is the sense that I got from scientists.

So if we understand what is happening in the body with these forms of itch, we can then go in and find ways to disrupt it. All different spots along those routes that we understand are being caught in that traffic snarl. It gives scientists a way to try to develop drugs or treatments that interrupt it.

And so the biggest advance that has been made recently are these kind of immune modulating drugs that block certain cytokines, which are proteins in the body that help that inflammatory process.

Yeah. So they increase the inflammatory response and they turn out to make the body more sensitive to itch. And scientists found some drugs that block two of them. And this drug... works really, really well with a kind of interesting panoply of conditions with asthma, with psoriasis, with issues that you might have with like your nasal passages even.

They're finding that possibly it could help with kind of chronic heart and lung problems also when there's inflammation. And it just smothers itch really, really well in people with certain forms of eczema.

There's now a bunch of these sort of similar types of drugs, and scientists are finding more and more of these drugs that are affecting cytokines and these cytokine pathways in the body and are turning down these itch dials.

One of the big ones, the first one that came out is a drug called dupixent, which is used commonly to treat asthma and atopic dermatitis, which is a form of eczema. It's a really common condition and can be absolutely miserable for folks. And it was really hard to treat the itching in that condition for a lot of people. And it turns out that dupixent works great.
