Lexatumumab (also known as ETR2-ST01) is an experimental agonistic human monoclonal antibody against TRAIL-R2 (DR5, APO-2), intended for the treatment of cancer.[1][2]

HGS-ETR2 antibodies were generated by Human Genome Sciences through a collaboration with Cambridge Antibody Technology.[3]

Development was discontinued in 2015.[4]
