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.
Peptide sequence information for this antibody is available from its IMGT/mAb-DB record. BLAST peptide sequence analysis reveals identical sequences are claimed in patent US7449616. |

Summary of Clinical Use  |
| Tanezumab has been evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials as a potential treatment for multiple pain indications [1,3,10] including osteoarthritis (OA) pain [2]. Development of this antibody has been disrupted due to the high incidence of rapidly progressive OA (RPOA) in subjects receiving anti-NGF antibodies (especially in those receiving concomittant NSAID therapy) [4]. RPOA had derailed earlier studies of NGF inhibitors. A meta-analysis of nine publications covering 10 studies was published by Hu et al., (2021) [5]. This analyisis was designed to determine the drug dose that provides the optimum risk/benefit ratio. |
