Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome after attempting one other therapy.
Mogamulizumab selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of CCR4, which may block CCR4-mediated signal transduction pathways and, so, chemokine-mediated cellular migration and proliferation of T cells, as well as chemokine-mediated angiogenesis. Additionally, this agent may induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against CCR4-positive T cells. CCR4, a G-coupled-protein receptor for C-C chemokines such MIP-1, RANTES, TARC and MCP-1, is expressed on the surfaces of some types of T cells, endothelial cells, and certain types of neurons. CCR4, also known as CD194, may be overexpressed on adult T-cell lymphoma (ATL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) cells . In addition to directly targeting malignant T cells expressing CCR4, mogamulizumab depletes Treg cells, an important therapeutic target in many human cancers because of their role in suppressing host antitumor immunity .
Mogamulizumab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least one prior systemic therapy.

Patent documents usually refer to a drug by its chemical name or development code rather than its generic name, and applications are only published about 18 months after filing — so a newer drug may not appear here yet.
