The role of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of lymphomas

Abstract: The monoclonal antibodies are a unique class of drugs, which induce tumor lysis by immunologic mechanisms rather than DNA damage by more traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. These agents have a relatively benign side effect profile and have significant activity in chemoresistant lymphoma. Because this is a relatively new class of therapeutic agents, their role in the treatment of lymphoma is still being ascertained. These drugs appear to be synergistic with traditional chemotherapeutic agents and may play… Show more

“…Monoclonal Abs have truly transfigured the way lymphoma is treated. Therapeutic Abs bind to and can kill tumor cells through complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and induction of apoptosis . The key factors for the success of Ab-based therapy are the identification of valid target antigens and the development of effective Abs against these targets.…”

“…pendent cellular cytotoxicity, and induction of apoptosis. 7 The key factors for the success of Ab-based therapy are the identification of valid target antigens and the development of effective Abs against these targets. Suitable antigens need to be highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells of interest but minimally expressed on normal tissues.…”

“…Combination of RTX with chemotherapy (e.g. RTX + CHOP) has improved treatment outcomes and is now considered the standard of care for many forms of NHL, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [1]. However, resistance to RTX does occur and compromises the outcome of B-lineage NHL patients receiving RTX as part of their treatment plan [2].…”

“…A series of novel mAbs with specificity for a variety of surface antigens are currently under evaluation. These include anti-CD20 mAb (ofatumumab, veltuzumab, ocrelizumab, ocaratuzumab, obinutuzumab, ublituximab), anti-CD19 mAb (MOR208), anti-CD22 mAbs (epratuzumab, inotuzumab ozogamicin) and anti-CD16/CD30 mAb (TandAb ® AFM13) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
