NCIt definition : A human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against the fibroblast
growth factor receptor type 3 (FGFR3), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon
intravenous administration, vofatamab specifically binds to and inhibits both wild-type
and mutated forms of FGFR3. This may result in the inhibition of FGFR3 phosphorylation,
and thereby preventing its activation and FGFR3-mediated signal transduction pathways.
This results in the inhibition of cell proliferation and the induction of cell death
in FGFR3-expressing tumor cells. FGFR3, a receptor tyrosine kinase upregulated or
mutated in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation.;
