Mechanism of Action
Delgocitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, inhibits the activity of JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). JAK signaling involves recruitment of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) to cytokine receptors, and activation and subsequent localization of STATs to the nucleus, leading to the expression of cytokine-responsive genes to induce specific biological responses in target cells. The exact mechanism of action of delgocitinib in the treatment of moderate to severe CHE is currently not known.
