Pharmacology

Duvelisib is a PI3K-delta/gamma inhibitor that blocks B-cell receptor signaling and CXCR12-mediated chemotaxis of malignant B-cells, inducing growth inhibition and reduced viability in CLL tumor cells and malignant B-cell lines.

Anti-CD20 chimeric murine/human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds the CD20 antigen on pre-B and mature B-lymphocytes, mediating B-cell lysis via complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); combined with hyaluronidase human, which transiently depolymerizes subcutaneous hyaluronan to enhance rituximab absorption into systemic circulation.
