| Elranatamab |
Elranatamab is a bi-specific T-cell engaging antibody that binds CD3-epsilon on T-cells and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on plasma cells, plasmablasts, and multiple myeloma cells. Binding of elranatamab to BCMA on tumour cells and CD3 on T-cells is independent of native T-cell receptor (TCR) specificity or reliance on major histocompatibility (MHC) Class 1 molecules. Elranatamab activated T-cells, led to proinflammatory cytokine release, and resulted in multiple myeloma cell lysis. |
