Epratuzumab (planned trade name LymphoCide) is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Potential uses may be found in oncology and in treatment of inflammatory autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).[1][2] The manufacturers in August 2009 announced success in early trials against SLE,[3] and the drug is in Phase III clinical trials as of February 2014.[4]

July 2015 : Both phase III trials (EMBODY1/2) for SLE failed to meet primary endpoint.[5]

Mechanism of action

Epratuzumab binds to the glycoprotein CD22 of mature and malignant B-cells.
