The inhibitory binding of Carlumab to CCL2 was hypothesized to inhibitangiogenesis 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 2clinical trials evaluating the efficacy, safety and dose requirements of the drug. Clinical trials for Carlumab include studies of idiopathicpulmonary fibrosis,[8][9] castration-resistant metastaticprostate 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.
