Nulojix® / Belatacept Reference Product
| Drug name | Nulojix® |
| INN | Belatacept |
| API type | Belatacept is a fusion protein produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells by recombinant DNA technology. |
| Pharmacotherapeutic group | Immunosuppressants, selective immunosuppressants |
| ATC code | L04AA28 |
| Target of antibody | CD80, CD86 |
| General function | Nulojix is used in adults to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted kidney. It is used with corticosteroids and a mycophenolic acid (other medicines used to prevent organ rejection). An interleukin-2-receptor-antagonist medicine should also be used with Nulojix during the first week after the kidney transplant. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. |
| Short description | |
| Pharmacodynamic properties (Mechanism of action; Source EMA document) | Belatacept binds to CD80 and CD86 on antigen presenting cells. As a result, belatacept blocks CD28 mediated co-stimulation of T cells inhibiting their activation. Activated T cells are the predominant mediators of immunologic response to the transplanted kidney. Belatacept, a modified form of CTLA4-Ig, binds CD80 and CD86 more avidly than the parent CTLA4-Ig molecule from which it is derived. This increased avidity provides a level of immunosuppression that is necessary for preventing immune-mediated allograft failure and dysfunction. |
| Pharmacodynamic properties (Pharmacodynamic effects; Source EMA document) | In a clinical study, approximately 90% saturation of CD86 receptors on the surface of antigenpresenting cells in the peripheral blood was observed following the initial administration of belatacept. During the first month post-transplantation, 85% saturation of CD86 was maintained. Up to month 3 post-transplantation with the recommended dosing regimen, the level of CD86 saturation was maintained at approximately 70% and at month 12, approximately 65%. |
