New Agents and Regimens for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Wang et al. J Hematol Oncol (2020) 13:175 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-020-01011-z REVIEW Open Access New agents and regimens for difuse large B cell lymphoma Liang Wang1,2*, Lin‑rong Li3 and Ken H. Young4* Abstract As a widely recognized standard regimen, R‑CHOP (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is able to cure two‑thirds patients with difuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and the remaining patients sufer from refractory or relapsed disease due to resistance to R‑CHOP and fare poorly. Unsatisfed outcomes for those relapsed/refractory patients prompted eforts to discover new treatment approaches for DLBCL, including chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecifc T cell engagers, immunomodulatory drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, mono‑ clonal antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, molecular pathway inhibitors, and epigenetic‑modifying drugs. Herein, up‑to‑date data about the most promising treatment approaches for DLBCL are recapitulated, and novel genetic clas‑ sifcation systems are introduced to guide individualized treatment for DLBCL.

    Genmab and ADC Therapeutics Announce Amended Agreement for Camidanlumab Tesirine (Cami) Media Release Copenhagen, Denmark and Lausanne, Switzerland, October 30, 2020 • ADC Therapeutics to continue the development and commercialization of Cami • Genmab to receive mid-to-high single-digit tiered royalty Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) and ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT) today announced that they have executed an amended agreement for ADC Therapeutics to continue the development and commercialization of camidanlumab tesirine (Cami). The parties first entered into a collaboration and license agreement in June 2013 for the development of Cami, an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) which combines Genmab’s HuMax®-TAC antibody targeting CD25 with ADC Therapeutics’ highly potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) warhead technology. Under the terms of the 2013 agreement, the parties were to determine the path forward for continued development and commercialization of Cami upon completion of a Phase 1a/b clinical trial. ADC Therapeutics previously announced that Cami achieved an overall response rate of 86.5%, including a complete response rate of 48.6%, in Hodgkin lymphoma patients in this trial who had received a median of five prior lines of therapy. Cami is currently being evaluated in a 100-patient pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial intended to support the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The trial is more than 50 percent enrolled and ADC Therapeutics anticipates reporting interim results in the first half of 2021. “We have a long-standing relationship with the ADC Therapeutics team and believe they are an ideal partner for the ongoing development and potential commercialization of Cami,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

These agents provide numerous benefits compared to traditional small molecule drugs, though their clinical use still requires optimization. The pharmacology of mAbs/ADCs is complex and because ADCs are comprised of multiple components, individual agent characteristics and patient variables can affect their disposition. To further improve the clinical use and rational development of these agents, it is imperative to comprehend the complex mechanisms employed by antibody-based agents in traversing numerous biological barriers and how agent/patient factors affect tumor delivery, toxicities, efficacy, and ultimately, biodistribution.

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

  • Ublituximab (TG-1101) in Combination with Umbralisib (TGR-1202) for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia NIHRIO (HSRIC) ID: 12230 NICE ID: 9540
    NIHR Innovation Observatory Evidence Briefing: SEPTEMBER 2017 Ublituximab (TG-1101) in combination with umbralisib (TGR-1202) for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia NIHRIO (HSRIC) ID: 12230 NICE ID: 9540 LAY SUMMARY Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a type of blood cancer that develops inside the bone marrows. This produces abnormal types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) which do not function properly, hence, do not protect from infections the way they should do. Chronic types of leukaemia develop slowly over a long time. Symptoms of this cancer usually only develop at a later stage of the disease. They may include frequent infections, persistent tiredness, shortness of breath, pale skin, bleeding and bruising more easily and others. The cause of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is not yet fully understood but risk factors may include age (older people), exposure to chemicals, family history, gender or ethnicity. Ublituximab in combination with umbralisib is under development for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and other types of blood cancers. They both act in different ways to suppress the production and growth of the abnormal lymphocytes caused by bindings to certain cells and proteins in the body that produces the cancer. If licensed, it will offer an additional treatment option for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This briefing is based on information available at the time of research and a limited literature search. It is not intended to be a definitive statement on the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of the health technology covered and should not be used for commercial purposes or commissioning without additional information. This briefing presents independent research funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).

We report the pharmacokinetics (PK) and drug–drug interaction (DDI) for pola. Methods Six or eight cycles of pola 1.0–1.8 mg/kg were administered intravenously every 3 weeks (q3w) with R/G-CHP. Exposures of pola [including antibody-conjugated monomethyl auristatin E (acMMAE) and unconjugated MMAE] and R/G-CHP were assessed by non-compartmental analysis and/or descriptive statistics with cross-cycle comparisons to cycle 1 and/or after multiple cycles. Pola was evaluated as a potential victim and perpetrator of a PK drug–drug interaction with R/G-CHP. Population PK (popPK) analysis assessed the impact of prior treatment status (naïve vs. relapsed/refractory) on pola PK. Results Pola PK was similar between treatment arms and independent of line of therapy. Pola PK was dose proportional from 1.0 to 1.8 mg/kg with R/G-CHP.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.
