Overview

Placulumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets and neutralizes tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine. It was developed as an anti-inflammatory biologic for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and sciatica. Placulumab acts by binding to TNF-α and inhibiting its interaction with TNF receptors, thereby reducing inflammation and immune-mediated tissue damage. The drug was originally developed by Domantis and Peptech, later advanced by Arana Therapeutics and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. Despite early clinical trials in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and sciatica, development of placulumab has been discontinued[2][3][4][5][9].
