Pharmacology
Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq is a CD79b-directed antibody-drug conjugate; the monoclonal antibody binds CD79b on B cells, is internalized, and releases MMAE intracellularly via lysosomal protease cleavage, where MMAE binds microtubules to inhibit cell division and induce apoptosis in dividing B cells.
Tafasitamab-cxix is an Fc-modified CD19-directed monoclonal antibody that mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP); in combination with lenalidomide, it demonstrates increased ADCC activity in DLBCL tumor cells.
