Iscalimab  (Synonyms: CFZ-533; OM11-62MF)

Iscalimab (CFZ-533) is a non-depleting IGg1 monoclonal antibody targeting CD40 (K_D: 0.3 nM). Iscalimab can be used for research of Graves' hyperthyroidism and autoimmune diseases^[1][2][3].

Iscalimab (0.01-1 μg/mL, overnight) blocks rCD154-induced TNF production by primary monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs), with an IC₅₀ of 0.04 μg/mL^[3].
Iscalimab (3 days) inhibits rCD154-induced proliferation of PBMCs from humans, rhesus and cynomolgus animals with IC₅₀s of 0.02, 0.03, and 0.01 μg/mL, respectively^[3].
Iscalimab bind CD40 on B cells from humans, rhesus and cynomolgus animals with EC50 values of approximately 0.2 μg/mL^[3].
Iscalimab (2 μg/mL, 3 h) is internalized by B cells in a CD40-dependent manner^[3].

Iscalimab (150 mg/kg/week, s.c, for 13 weeks) is well tolerated and does not cause any dose-limiting toxicity in rhesus monkeys^[3].
Iscalimab (10 mg/kg, i.v.) completely inhibits T cell-dependent antibody response in Rhesus monkeys^[3].
Iscalimab (30 mg/kg, i.v.) prolongs allograft survival in kidney transplant cynomolgus^[4].
