NCIt definition : A chimeric monoclonal antibody specifically targeting human immunoglobulin light chain
(LC)-related fibrils, which may potentially be used in the treatment of light chain-associated
(AL) amyloidosis. Upon administration, anselamimab targets and binds to the amyloid-related,
conformational epitope on LC-related fibrils. This inhibits fibrillogenesis, induces
an Fc-mediated cellular inflammatory response, increases degradation and elimination
of AL amyloidomas, and prevents systemic LC-associated amyloid deposits. In AL amyloidosis
the amyloid fibrils are composed of immunoglobulin light chain fragments.;
