This drug was developed by Morphotek, Inc.

It is targeted at folate receptor alpha (FRα) which is overexpressed in some cancers such as epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma.[2]

Mechanism of action

Farletuzumab uses the following mechanisms of action:[2]

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
Complement-dependent cytotoxicity
Inhibition of interaction between FRα and Lyn kinase
Induces cell death associated with autophagy
