nci_thesaurus_definition
A monoclonal antibody against C-C-chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, cafelkibart targets, binds to and blocks the activity of CCR8 on CCR8-positive tumor-infiltrating regulatory T-cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and prevents chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1)-CCR8-mediated signaling. This may reactivate antitumor immune responses. CCR8 is specifically expressed by tumor-infiltrating Tregs in multiple types of cancer and plays a key role in immunosuppression. High expression is correlated with poor prognosis.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Anti-CCR8 monoclonal antibody that binds CCR8 on tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells, blocks CCL1–CCR8 signaling, and induces Fc-mediated ADCC to deplete CCR8+ Tregs, reducing immunosuppression and enhancing antitumor immunity.
