Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Sotevtamab (AB-16B5) is a humanized IgG2 antibody against secreted clusterin. It was developed by Alethia Biotherapeutics for anti-cancer potential. Peptide sequences of the heavy and light chains of the antibody are claimed in patent WO2011063523A1 [1], via which sotevtamab can be linked to the antibody designated as humanised 16B5. Sotevtamab is expected to inhibit clusterin-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition, as a mechanism to both reduce tumour invasion and augment the response to standard of care chemotherapy.
