[Monoclonal Antibodies in the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in 2015].
Chemotherapy combinations with monoclonal antibodies are now the basis for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Rituximab, the most widely used anti-CD20 antibody in routine clinical practice, led not only to improvement of progression-free survival, but also to improvement of overall survival in previously untreated patients with good performance status in combination with fludarabine an...
متن کاملCancer Therapy: Preclinical rILYd4, a Human CD59 Inhibitor, Enhances Complement- Dependent Cytotoxicity of Ofatumumab against Rituximab- Resistant B-cell Lymphoma Cells and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Purpose: Ofatumumab is an anti-CD20 antibody recently approved for treatment of fludarabine and alemtuzumab refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); it mediates much stronger complementdependent cytotoxicity (CDC) than rituximab. Human CD59, a key membrane complement regulator that inhibits CDC, is highly expressed in B-cellmalignancies and its upregulation is an important determinant of ...

متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukemia, biology, new diagnosis and treatment: review article
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of B CD5+cells and is the most common type of leukemia in adults. The disease is more common in men over 50 years in western countries. CLL is associated with defective apoptosis in B cells. CLL was traditionally regarded as a disease that occurs before naïve B cells meet the antigen in the lymph nodes. Laboratory diagnosis requires white blood...
متن کاملOfatumumab Exhibits Enhanced In Vitro and In Vivo Activity Compared to Rituximab in Preclinical Models of Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
PURPOSE Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a mature B-cell lymphoma considered to be incurable with current treatments, including first-line rituximab in combination with multiagent chemotherapy and for those eligible, high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell support or rituximab maintenance. On the other hand, achieving a complete remission by high-sensitive flow cytometry is associated with prolonged ...
