Development and Integration of Antibody-Drug Conjugate in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Amitkumar Mehta et al. Curr Oncol Rep. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against CD20, was the first MAb approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Conjugating toxins to MAb was a technical challenge; however, with improvements in linker technology, immunoconjugates were constructed and revolutionized cancer treatment. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin was the first antibody drug conjugate (ADC) approved by the FDA. Because of the success of brentuximab vedotin and ado-trastuzumab emtansine in treating Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and HER2-positive breast cancer, respectively, newer ADCs are being investigated. Brentuximab vedotin is approved for both HL and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Newer ADCs, such as polatuzumab vedotin (_targeting CD79b), pinatuzumab vedotin (_targeting CD22), inotuzumab ozogamicin (_targeting CD19), SAR3419 (_targeting CD19), IMGN529 (_targeting CD37), and SGN-CD19A (_targeting CD19), have shown promising preclinical and early clinical activity. These findings will change the landscape of B-NHL treatment away from age-old "CHOP"-based chemotherapies.
