NCIt synonyms : Anti-FolRa ADC AMT-151; Anti-FRa ADC AMT-151; Anti-FOLR1 ADC AMT-151; Anti-folate Receptor Alpha ADC AMT-151;
NCIt definition : An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a monoclonal antibody targeting folate
receptor alpha (FRa; FolRa; FOLR1) conjugated to an as of yet undisclosed cytotoxic
agent, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of anti-FRa ADC
AMT-151, the antibody moiety targets and binds to FRa expressed on tumor cells. Upon
cellular uptake and internalization, the cytotoxic agent inhibits tumor cell proliferation
through an as of yet undisclosed mechanism of action (MoA). FRa is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol
linked cell-surface glycoprotein that is widely expressed in certain cancers while
its expression is limited in normal tissues.;
