BCD-180

Original investigational product
List of clinical studies

BCD-180 (international non-proprietary name: seniprutug) is a monoclonal antibody, an original investigational product for human use being developed for the treatment of radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis, Bechterew's disease).

A monoclonal antibody is a protein created by scientists in a laboratory, similar to the natural antibodies of the immune system, designed to bind to a specific target in the human body1.

It is known that a key role in the development and maintenance of inflammation in ankylosing spondylitis is played by a group of specific immune cells of lymphocytes, which have common structural features of one of the receptor sites (a protein that transmits signals from the cell and inside it and ensures the interaction of cells with each other) on the cell surface. This receptor site is called TRBV9 and lymphocytes carrying a receptor with this structure on their surface are called TRBV9+ lymphocytes2,3,4,5. BCD-180 (international non-proprietary name: seniprutug) specifically binds to TRBV9 on the surface of such lymphocytes and destroys them. In the clinical study, BCD-180 (international non-proprietary name: seniprutug) is administered intravenously. The research physician closely monitors the patient’s condition throughout their participation in the study and will take all necessary actions to manage adverse events if they occur.

In the clinical trial,  BCD-180 (international non-proprietary name: seniprutug) is administered intravenously. The physician-investigator closely monitors the patient’s condition throughout their participation in the study and will take all necessary actions to manage adverse events if they occur.

To reduce the risk of adverse reactions, all subjects participating in the clinical trial are given anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs before the administration of BCD-180 (international non-proprietary name: seniprutug).
