Andecaliximab

Andecaliximab is a recombinant chimeric IgG4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) targets matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). Andecaliximab shows the antifibrotic efficacy in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis mouse models. Andecaliximab can be used for the research of gastric adenocarcinoma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)[1][2].
