Antibody
Comment: Tanezumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody targeting nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF is a neurotrophin that regulates the development and survival of a select population of neurons through the binding and activation of the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 (TrkA receptor). Elevated levels of NGF have been associated with painful pathologies including diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Inhibition of NGF signalling has been explored for anti-pain potential.
