Summary of Clinical Use |
Preclinical evidence suggests efficacy in preventing graft rejection [1-3].A Phase 1 trial in patients undergoing stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies has been initiated to evaluate translatability to humans (NCT01830010). Mocravimod has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in SLE patients (NCT01294774), and a separate Phase 2 trial in ulcerative colitis patients with refractory disease has been terminated (NCT01375179). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects |
The structural similarity of mocravimod to that of fingolimod suggests that this compound may act via a similar mechanism to effectively sequester peripheral lymphocytes and accelerate lymphocyte homing into the secondary lymphoid organ. |
