The nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies is a naming scheme for assigning generic, or nonproprietary, names to monoclonal antibodies. An antibody is a protein that is produced in B cells and used by the immune system of humans and other vertebrate animals to identify a specific foreign object like a bacterium or a virus. Monoclonal antibodies are those that were produced in identical cells, often artificially, and so share the same target object. They have a wide range of applications including medical uses.
Lexatumumab is an experimental agonistic human monoclonal antibody against TRAIL-R2, intended for the treatment of cancer.
Etaracizumab, also known as MEDI-522, trade name Abegrin, is a humanized monoclonal antibody which is being investigated for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and various other types of cancer. It is manufactured by MedImmune.
Drozitumab is a human monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment of cancers. It targets Tumour Necrosis Factor Related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand (TRAIL), whose receptors are found on the surface of many types of malignant cells. Drozitumab was developed by Genentech.
Ensituximab (NPC-1C) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody under development for as a candidate for treatment of cancers. The target of the antibody is uncertain and is described as "human colorectal and pancreatic carcinoma-associated antigens", a set of tumor antigens isolated from human cancers. The target might be Mucin 5AC.
Ficlatuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancers.
Intetumumab is a human monoclonal antibody targeting integrins that was being studied for the treatment of solid tumors.
Narnatumab is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancer. Clinical development was abandoned after phase I trials.
Girentuximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody to carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). CAIX is expressed on the surface of most renal cancer cells and is hypothesized to be on the surface of other tumor cells. It is investigational agent in clinical trials for renal cell carcinoma. Its development was suspended as a "naked" or unconjugated antibody during phase III trials due to efficacy.
Imgatuzumab (INN) is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancer. It is an anti-EGFR antibody that acts as an immunomodulator.
Futuximab (INN) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancer. It acts as an immunomodulator and also binds to HER1.
OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was a public American pharmaceutical development company headquartered in Redwood City, California. The company was founded in August 2004 by two University of Michigan investigators, Michael Clarke and Max S. Wicha. As of 2013, the company had 83 employees. OncoMed's drug discovery work focuses on developing "targeted antibodies against cancer stem cells". The cancer stem cell technologies on which OncoMed depends are licensed from the University of Michigan where they were developed by the founders of the company. OncoMed went public in 2013 and was listed on NASDAQ under the stock symbol OMED. In April 2019 the company was acquired by Mereo BioPharma and delisted from the Nasdaq.
