Pharmacology
Brentuximab vedotin is a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a chimeric IgG1 anti-CD30 antibody linked to MMAE, a microtubule-disrupting agent; upon binding to CD30-expressing tumor cells the ADC is internalized and MMAE is released via proteolytic cleavage, disrupting the microtubule network within the cell and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
BREYANZI is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy; CAR binding to CD19 on tumor and normal B cells triggers CD3 zeta-mediated activation and cytotoxic killing of target cells, while 4-1BB (CD137) costimulatory signaling enhances CAR T cell expansion and persistence.
