Parsatuzumab (INN) is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancer. It acts as an immunomodulator and binds to EGFL7.

Mechanism of action of Parsatuzumab

Parsatuzumab binds to EGFL7, thereby preventing the activities of EGFL7 on endothelial cells and inhibiting the survival and migration of endothelial cells during angiogenesis. EGFL7, a vascular-restricted extracellular matrix protein which is up-regulated during angiogenesis and which regulates vascular development, may be overexpressed on the cell surfaces of various solid tumor cell types.
