With currently more than 100 distinct drugs in research and development, MorphoSys has one of the broadest pipelines in the biotechnology industry, including unique approaches that aim to help patients with conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, infectious diseases, cardiovascular dysfunction and inflammation.

More than 20 therapeutic antibodies are being evaluated by MorphoSys and its partners in clinical trials as novel treatment options for severe and in many cases life-threatening diseases. Several of these in-house and partnered programs have already demonstrated exciting prospects for diseases where currently no proper treatment is available.
MorphoSys continues to expand its portfolio of unique drug candidates and is looking for partners with innovative targets, supportive technologies and promising antibodies for further development.

MOR208 has been engineered to possess significantly enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), thus improving a key mechanism for tumor cell killing and offering potential for enhanced efficacy compared to traditional antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

In June 2010, MorphoSys AG and US-based biopharmaceutical company Xencor signed a worldwide exclusive license and collaboration agreement for the antibody. The agreement provided MorphoSys with an exclusive worldwide license to XmAb5574 for the treatment of cancer and other indications.

I-Mab Biopharma*

Indication

Phase

Multiple myeloma (MM)
Phase 1 Phase 2 (Current Phase) Phase 3 Market

In preclinical studies, MOR202 mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in MM cells derived from patients in vitro.  Either Velcade® (bortezomib) or Revlimid® (lenalidomide) enhanced the cytotoxic activity of MOR202 in vitro and also the inhibition of MM-mediated bone lysis and tumor load in vivo. The enhancement by bortezomib was mediated through a direct cytotoxic effect on MM cells.

Lenalidomide synergistically enhanced MOR202 activity by several mechanisms identified to be direct cytotoxicity, activation of effector cells and increased CD38 expression levels on MM cells. In an orthotopic xenograft murine model of multiple myeloma, MOR202 reduced tumor load and tumor mediated bone lysis. Co-administration of MOR202 with either bortezomib or lenalidomide completely abolished bone lysis in a synergistic manner. These findings support further investigation of MOR202 combination regimens in clinical trials. MOR202 is currently being tested in a phase 1/2a trial in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma.

* For development in Greater Chinese Market (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao).

Phase 1 Phase 2 (Current Phase) Phase 3 Market

MOR106 is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody for treatment of inflammatory diseases. MOR106 arises from the alliance initiated by Galapagos and MorphoSys in 2008, in which both companies contribute their core technologies and expertise. Galapagos and MorphoSys will continue to equally share the research and development costs, as well as all future revenues.

MOR103 (GSK3196165) is a fully human HuCAL antibody directed against GM-CSF (granulocytemacrophage-colony stimulating factor). MOR103 is being developed in the area of inflammatory diseases, i.e. rheumatoid arthritis, where current treatment options are inadequate. Due to its diverse functions in the immune system, GM-CSF can be considered a target for a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory therapies. MOR103 is part of MorphoSys's collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline.
