Etrolizumab (rhuMAb Beta7) is a biopharmaceutical drug candidate being developed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It is a humanized monoclonal antibody against the β7 subunit of integrins α4β7 and αEβ7.[1] Etrolizumab was developed by Genentech[2][3] by engineering the FIB504 antibody to include human IgGl-heavy chain and κ-light chain frameworks; it is manufactured in CHO cells.[4]

As of 2016, it was in phase III studies for induction and maintenance therapy in people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's.[2][5][6] According to data of one meta-analysis efficacy of Etrolizumab is comparable with conventional therapies such as Infliximab with less adverse events [7]

Phase III clinical trials produced mixed results; and, on October 14, 2020, Hoffmann-La Roche, the parent company of Genentech, abandoned further efforts to develop etrolizumab for ulcerative colitis, but continued development for Crohn's disease, [8] until disappointing trial results led to this being abandoned too in Feb 2022.
