VAZALORE is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the activity of interleukin-36 receptor (IL-36R), thereby blocking IL-36-mediated inflammatory signaling.

2-4 hours (terminal half-life). Clinical context: Requires dosing every 6-8 hours for sustained effect; no accumulation with normal hepatic function.
4.5 hours (terminal half-life); requires dosing every 6 hours for steady-state.
Renal (primarily as glucuronide conjugates and inactive metabolites; <10% unchanged). Biliary/fecal elimination is negligible.
Renal excretion: 70% unchanged; hepatic metabolism: 20%; fecal elimination: 10%.
