What it is Filled
Ibalizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds the CD4 receptor and inhibits HIV-1 entry after viral attachment, used with other antiretrovirals for heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection.
In scope
- Antibody identity and evidence connecting substance names, sequences, and reference materials
- CD4 binding and post-attachment HIV-1 inhibition
- Lot-specific purity, structural integrity, concentration, and biological potency
- Material state, storage history, and stability evidence
- Relationships to formulations, licensed products, and jurisdiction-specific use constraints
Out of scope
- Trogarzo packaging, commercial presentations, and inventory management
- Patient-specific prescribing, dosing, and treatment selection
- The complete HIV-1 disease model and individual viral genomes
- Manufacturing facility operations and production process execution
- Other CD4-binding antibodies as independently identified substances
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify ibalizumab, assess the identity and functional quality of its material, and determine which handling or use decisions require product-specific evidence.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Its identity must match the ibalizumab reference antibody; CD4 binding alone cannot establish identity.
- It is a humanized IgG4 antibody directed at CD4 domain 2. [FDA prescribing information](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2021/761065s011lbl.pdf)
- Its antiviral classification is post-attachment HIV-1 inhibition, requiring a distinction between receptor binding and functional inhibition. [DailyMed label](https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=c548ad82-9d1f-4d16-95b6-4e6106badf43)
- The name ibalizumab-uiyk identifies the active ingredient in the US Trogarzo label; the formulated medicinal product has additional identity and composition attributes. [DailyMed label](https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=c548ad82-9d1f-4d16-95b6-4e6106badf43)
