Eftozanermin alfa (ABBV-621) is a second-generation tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor (TRAIL-R) agonist. Eftozanermin alfa induces apoptosis in tumor cells by activation of death receptors 4/5. Eftozanermin alfa can be used for the research of multiple solid and heme malignancies.
