                                        Comment: Ponsegromab (PF-06946860) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralises the action of the GDF-15 cytokine. It was designed to inhibit aberrant GDF-15/GDNF family receptor alpha like (GFRAL)-mediated dysregulation of appetite in human diseases, particularly in cancer patients.
