Excerpt

Axatilimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody to the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor that is used to treat patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease who have active disease despite having received at least two previous systemic therapies. Axatilimab therapy is often accompanied by transient serum enzyme elevations, but it has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.
