What does it do?

Tafasitamab is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a specific protein on the surface of cancer cells. It is mainly used to treat blood cancers such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, targeting cancer cells to induce an immune response.

Tafasitamab binds to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, helping immune cells to attack the cancer cells. This suppresses the growth and survival of cancer cells and contributes to the immune system's ability to eliminate cancer cells.
