Naptumomab estafenatox (ABR-217620) is adrug being developed for the treatment of various types ofcancer likenon-small cell lung carcinoma[1] andrenal cell carcinoma.[2]
Chemically, it is afusion protein consisting of theantigen-binding fragment (Fab) of amonoclonal antibody with thesuperantigenstaphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA/E-120, "estafenatox").[3] The Fab binds to5T4, anantigen expressed by various tumor cells, and the superantigen induces an immune response by activatingT lymphocytes.[4]
