Comment: Tafasitamab (MOR208, formerly Xmab®5574) is a humanized Fc-engineered monoclonal antibody directed against CD19 that was developed by MorphoSys [4]. XmAb® antibodies are designed with modifications in their Fc domain (S239D/I332E mutations) that increase binding to Fcγ receptors on immune cells. This optimises the antibody's Fc-mediated effector function (i.e. antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, ADCC) [1,5]. At the beginning ot 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte Corporation entered into a collaboration and license agreement for the global development and commercialization of tafasitamab (MOR208).
