Mechanism of action
By blocking the CD47-SIRPα interaction, TAK-667 enhances the ability of macrophages to recognize and engulf tumor cells, leading to their destruction. This mechanism is thought to be particularly effective in the context of hematologic malignancies, where tumor cells often express high levels of CD47.
