Poteligeo (MOGAMULIZUMAB)

Kyowa Kirin · FDA-approved approved Monoclonal antibody Quality 69/100

Poteligeo works by binding to the C-C chemokine receptor type 4, which is involved in the migration and proliferation of T-cells.

Poteligeo (Mogamulizumab) is a chemokine receptor type 4 interaction drug developed by Kyowa Kirin. It targets the C-C chemokine receptor type 4 and is used to treat mycosis fungoides, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Poteligeo was FDA-approved in 2018 and has a half-life of 17 days. It is a small molecule modality and remains patented. Key safety considerations include potential infusion reactions and cytopenias.

Mechanism of action

Mogamulizumab-kpkc is defucosylated, humanized IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody that binds to CCR4, G protein-coupled receptor for CC chemokines that is involved in the trafficking of lymphocytes to various organs. Non-clinical in vitro studies demonstrate mogamulizumab-kpkc binding targets cell for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) resulting in depletion of the target cells. CCR4 is expressed on the surface of some T-cell malignancies and is expressed on regulatory T-cells (Treg) and subset of Th2 T-cells.
