Vanik — A New Standard in Targeted Therapy

Vandoz Pharma is proud to introduce Vanik (vanelizumab-vxk), a first-in-class monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe relapsing eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) in adults whose disease is inadequately controlled with standard immunosuppressive therapy. Vanik delivers precision-targeted IL-5 receptor antagonism, addressing the underlying driver of disease with a profile designed for real-world patients.

This portal provides healthcare professionals and patients with comprehensive prescribing information, safety data, support program resources, and clinical tools to support informed treatment decisions.

Drug Overview & Clinical Profile

Vanik is engineered for precision. Below is a summary of its mechanism, available formulations, administration guidance, and storage requirements for clinical and pharmacy reference.

Mechanism of Action

Vanik is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the IL-5 receptor alpha subunit on eosinophils and basophils, inhibiting IL-5 signaling. This reduces eosinophil proliferation, differentiation, recruitment, and survival — directly targeting the immunopathologic cascade underlying EGPA.

Dosage Forms & Administration

Vanik is available as a 300 mg/2 mL (150 mg/mL) single-dose prefilled syringe and as a 300 mg lyophilized powder for IV infusion reconstitution. The recommended dose is 300 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks, administered by a healthcare professional or trained patient in an appropriate clinical setting.

Storage & Handling

Store Vanik refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Protect from light. Once removed from refrigeration, Vanik may be stored at room temperature up to 25°C (77°F) for a maximum of 14 days. Discard if not used within this period. Do not shake the prefilled syringe.

Indication at a Glance

Vanik is indicated for adult patients with moderate-to-severe relapsing EGPA who have demonstrated inadequate response to corticosteroids and/or other immunosuppressive agents. It is not indicated for the treatment of acute bronchospasm or status asthmaticus.

Key Clinical Evidence
