Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Bempikibart (ADX-914; Q32 Bio) is a fully human anti-IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα) monoclonal antibody [1]. It was designed for potential disease-modifying anti-inflammatory action in autoimmune conditions. Bempikibart blocks IL-7 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) from binding to the common IL-7Rα subunit of their endogenous receptors, thus reducing receptor activation and re-regulating immune homeostasis.
