The FDA has granted an orphan drug designation to sotigalimab (APX005M) as a potential therapeutic option for patients with soft tissue sarcoma, according to announcement from Apexigen Inc., the drug developer.
A novel, humanized monoclonal antibody, sotigalimab was designed stimulate antitumor immune response and to target CD40, which is a key co-stimulatory receptor that serves to activate innate and adaptive immune systems. When sotigalimab binds to CD40 on antigen-presenting cells, it induces a multifaceted immune response that brings several components of the immune system together to attack the cancer.
