Ieramilimab (development code LAG525) is a monoclonal antibody being developed by Novartis for the treatment of cancer. The antibody targets the immune checkpoint LAG-3, which is expressed on T cells and tends to down-regulate an immune response. In a June 2015 presentation Novartis management indicated that 'dosing is imminent' for the first clinical trials of LAG525.[1]
Ieramilimab's first clinical trial is a Phase I in patients with various solid tumors, in combination with spartalizumab (PDR001), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody has been completed.[2] Recruiting for a phase 2 study in combination with spartalizumab for the treatment of metastatic melanoma is underway.[3]
