Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of CDP323 were believed to rely on preventing immune cells to migrate from blood vessels through the vessel walls to reach various inflamed tissues, including the brain. This mechanism is thought to prevent overshooting immune reactions and subsequent tissue damage as seen during uncontrolled immune cell migration as in multiple sclerosis. CDP323 has the same mechanism of action as the monoclonal antibody natalizumab.
