ELA026: Myeloid Cell and T Lymphocyte Depletor
ELA026 is a monoclonal antibody specifically designed to address severe inflammatory disorders with aberrant myeloid cell and T lymphocyte activity. It induces rapid, potent, and targeted depletion of the circulating myeloid cells and T lymphocytes that drive inflammation, without disrupting the CD47/SIRPα immune checkpoint function.
Treating sHLH, Offering Hope
There are no approved therapies for sHLH. Current off-label treatments for sHLH carry significant long-term toxicity and limited efficacy.3,4 Even with these treatments, sHLH has high mortality during the first few months.5 Malignancy-associated HLH (mHLH) is the deadliest amongst the subtypes of sHLH, with a mortality rate of approximately 50% at 2 months.6
ELA026 Targets the Principal Cells Responsible for Driving Pathogenesis in sHLH
By targeting SIRP on the cell surface of myeloid cells and T lymphocytes, ELA026 depletes the cells responsible for inducing the hyperinflammatory condition in sHLH.
