Identification

Summary

Narsoplimab is an anti-MASP-2 antibody currently being investigated for use in transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathies and IgA nephropathy.

Generic Name
Narsoplimab
DrugBank Accession Number
DB16418
Background

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA), including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, are associated with injury and dysregulation of microvascular endothelium and platelets.1 Evidence increasingly points to a role for the complement system in TMA.1,2 Mannan-associated lectin-binding serine protease-2 (MASP-2) is a major effector in the complement lectin pathway.1,2 Narsoplimab (OMS721), a human IgG4λ anti-MASP-2 antibody, is under consideration as a treatment for hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated TMA (HSCT-TMA/TA-TMA) and IgA nephropathy.3,4

Narsoplimab is under investigation in clinical trial NCT03205995 (Safety and Efficacy Study of OMS721 in Patients With Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome).

Mechanism of action

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) has complex underlying pathophysiology but generally involves complement activation associated with endothelial injury, microthrombus development, and downstream organ dysfunction.1,2 Studies have demonstrated a role for the alternative and lectin complement pathways in TMA. Within the lectin pathway, considerable interest has fallen on the effector protein mannan-associated lectin-binding serine protease-2 (MASP-2), which cleaves C4 and C2 to form the C3 convertase C4bC2a.1 Narsoplimab, a human IgG4λ anti-MASP-2 antibody, appears effective in limiting lectin pathway-associated microvascular activation/injury in TA-TMA, presumably by directly inhibiting the formation of C4bC2a.1,2,3
