It is claimed in Novartis' patent WO2012065950 [1] as mAb1 (based on peptide sequence alignments between the INN record for iscalimab and patented sequences retrieved from a BLAST search). Blocking CD40-mediated inflammatory responses is a well advanced mechanism being expoited for potential to treat autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and/or for preventing/reducing graft rejection following organ transplant.
