Elotuzumab drug aliquots can be used for in vitro or in vivo experiments. For biosimilar development, different batches of Elotuzumab drug can be ordered at the same time. Several other reference drugs are also available on request.
The drug aliquots are generated by aliquoting (dividing and repackaging) the EU-licensed reference drug.

| Short description | |
| Pharmacodynamic properties (Mechanism of action; Source EMA document) | Elotuzumab is an immunostimulatory humanised, IgG1 monoclonal antibody that specifically targets the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family member 7 (SLAMF7) protein. SLAMF7 is highly expressed on multiple myeloma cells independent of cytogenetic abnormalities. SLAMF7 is also expressed on natural killer cells (NK), normal plasma cells, and other immune cells including some T cell subsets, monocytes, B cells, macrophages, and pDCs (plasmacytoid dendritic cells), but is not detected on normal solid tissues or haematopoietic stem cells. Elotuzumab directly activates natural killer cells through both the SLAMF7 pathway and Fc receptors enhancing anti-myeloma activity in vitro. Elotuzumab also targets SLAMF7 on myeloma cells and through interactions with Fc receptors on specific immune cells, promotes the killing of myeloma cells through NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and macrophage-mediated antibody-dependant cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). In nonclinical models, elotuzumab has demonstrated synergistic activity when combined with lenalidomide, pomalidomide or bortezomib. |
