Abstract excerpt
Farletuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to folate receptor alpha and elicits an anti-tumor response via immune effector activity. Recent studies from a global phase 3 trial in ovarian cancer patients treated with carboplatin/taxane plus farletuzumab found that the tumor-produced CA125 protein can suppress farletuzumab function via perturbing its engagement to the activating Fc-γ receptors CD32a...
