Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Plozalizumab (research code MLN-1202) progressed to Phase 2 clinical trial for its potential immunomodulatory effect in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy and multiple sclerosis. There is no evidence of continuing development of the antibody.
Patent US6663863 B2 describes the possible use of this antibody to prevent stenosis and restenosis by reducing the inflammatory and fibro-proliferative processes which underlie atherosclerotic plaque formation or restenosis resulting from vascular injury during revascularization procedures [1].
