Description | LM-609 (Vitaxin) is an artificial antibody that targets a protein on the surface of newly forming blood vessels, as well as on certain tumors. In addition to cancer, the protein has been implicated in bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis and the inflammatory process in psoriasis. |
Indication/Disease | Investigated for use/treatment in colorectal cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, psoriasis and psoriatic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, and solid tumors. |
Pharmacodynamics | NA |
Mechanism of Action | LM-609 targets the alpha-v beta-3 integrin, which is a protein complex expressed on the surface of newly forming blood vessels, certain tumor types, and on a number of other cell types, including macrophages and osteoclasts. As such, alpha-v beta-3 integrin is implicated in a number of disease processes, including the growth and metastasis of tumors, the bone destruction in RA and the inflammatory process in psoriasis. |
