SAFETY PROFILE Lenzilumab has been shown to be safe in clinical settings following administration to 375 patients in multiple indications, including severe respiratory conditions and leukemia, with no serious or adverse events attributable to lenzilumab.

Humanigen has developed a neutralizing, IgG1, monoclonal antibody against human GM-CSF, using proprietary Humaneered® technology.
