Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Mezagitamab (TAK-079) is a humanized, IgG1, cell-depleting anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody [3-4]. Anti-CD38 therapeutics were primarily developed as treatments for multiple myeloma [5], but have subsequently been discovered to offer potential in solid tumours and autoimmune diseases [2].

Bioactivity Comments
TAK‐079 depletes CD38 cells by inducing antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxicity and complement‐dependent cytotoxicity [3]. Although extensive pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for TAK-079 has been published [3], we have been unable to locate a binding affinity value for the antibody-target interaction. TAK-079 is likely to be one of the antibodies claimed in Takeda patent WO2012092612A1 (potentially that referred to as Ab79 therein), and we have included the binding affinity for the Ab79 construct in the interactions table [1].
