Carlumab (alternate identifier CNTO 888 [1] ) is a discontinued human recombinant monoclonal antibody (type IgG1 kappa) [2] that targets human CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2)/monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP1). [3] [4] [5] Carlumab was under development for use in the treatment of oncology and immune indications [6] [7] and was studied for application in systemic sclerosis, atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, liver fibrosis and type 2 diabetes. [2]

The inhibitory binding of Carlumab to CCL2 was hypothesized to inhibit angiogenesis and consequently modulate tumor cell proliferation. [3] [2] Studies focusing on the effects of Carlumab have been performed in vitro on cell lines and in vivo on mice and in humans including phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trials evaluating the efficacy, safety and dose requirements of the drug. Clinical trials for Carlumab include studies of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, [8] [9] castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer [1] [10] and solid tumors. [11] [12]

Carlumab was being developed by Janssen Biotech prior to discontinuation in 2012 [13] due to limited success in clinical trials.
