Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Bemarituzumab (FPA144) is first-in-class anti-fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) chemotherapy antibody from Five Prime Therapeutics [3]. Amgen acquired Five Prime in 2021. Bemarituzumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) isotype antibody. It binds to FGFR2b and promotes ADCC via enhanced binding to FcγRIIIa. Around 30% of HER2-negative gastric cancers are FGFR2b positive and bemarituzumab is designed to target this cancer subtype that uses the FGF/FGFR pathway to promote transformation, proliferation and angiogenesis.
Annotated peptide sequences for this antibody are available from its IMGT/mAb-DB record.
