NCIt definition : A proprietary preparation composed of an immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) directed against
the cell surface glycoprotein CD-38 (CD38) that is fused to an attenuated form of
human interferon alpha (IFN alpha; IFNa), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration, modakafusp alfa specifically targets and binds to
CD38 on CD38-positive tumor cells. In turn, the IFNa moiety binds to cell-surface
IFN receptors, and activates IFN-mediated signal transduction pathways, which results
in the transcription and translation of genes whose products may cause antiproliferative
effects in CD38-positive tumor cells. CD38, a type II transmembrane glycoprotein,
is present on various immune cells and hematologic malignancies, and its expression
has been correlated with poor prognosis.;
