GtoPdb Ligand ID: 9757

Synonyms: Fibronum | L19TNF-alpha
Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Onfekafusp alfa (Fibromun; L19-TNF) is a trimeric homodimer that forms from engineered peptides for the L19 antibody in scFv format fused to human TNF [1]. LIke bifikafusp alfa, Fibromun targets the TNF to the tumour microenvironment via L19 binding to the angiogenesis-associated isoform of fibronectin (specifically the extradomain B or EDB). Fibromun is being investigated as an immuno-oncology therapeutic. It is one of a growing number of so-called 'immunocytokines' entering clinical development.
Bioactivity Comments
The L19 scFv binds the ED-B domain of fibronectin with a dissociation constant of 0.054 nM [4].
