Comment: Otilimab (MOR103, GSK3196165) is a clinical stage fully human IgG1λ antibody that targets the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; CSF2). It is being investigated as a therapeutic for inflammatory diseases. MOR103 was developed using MorphoSys' HuCAL® technology, and has been fully out-licensed otilimab to GSK. MOR103 is claimed as MOR-04357 in patent WO2006122797A2 (by BLAST peptide sequence matching) [5].
