About Tafasitamab
Tafasitamab is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting
monoclonal antibody. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive
worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from
Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc
domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune
effector mechanism including antibody-dependent cell-mediated
cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis
(ADCP).
Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the
treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including
DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for
autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).This indication is approved
under accelerated approval based on overall response rate.
Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon
verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory
trial(s).
In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte entered into a
collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and
commercialize tafasitamab globally. Monjuvi is being
co-commercialized by Incyte and MorphoSys in the United States.
Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights outside the United
States.
A marketing authorization application (MAA) seeking the approval
of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in the EU has been
validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently
under review for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or
refractory DLBCL, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma,
who are not candidates for ASCT.
Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic
option in B-cell malignancies in a number of ongoing combination
trials.
