Background And Objectives: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an allelic disorder of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in which pathogenic variants in cause progressive worsening of motor dysfunction, muscle weakness and atrophy, and death due to respiratory and cardiac failure. BMD often has in-frame deletions that preserve the amino acid reading frame, but there are some cases with microvariants or duplications. In recent years, the importance of therapeutic development and care for BMD has been emphasized.

Xeligekimab (Jinlixi) is a recombinant human interleukin (IL)-17A-neutralizing immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 monoclonal antibody being developed by Genrix (Shanghai) Biopharmaceutical for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, axial spondyloarthritis and lupus nephritis. Xeligekimab binds to IL-17A and blocks its interaction with the IL-17A receptor, thereby inhibiting the release of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 and IL-6. On 27 August 2024, xeligekimab received approval in China for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
