Pediatric Blood & Cancer: Preclinical activity of the antibody‐drug conjugate denintuzumab mafodotin (SGN‐CD19A) against pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia xenografts

April 23, 2019

Luke Jones, Hannah McCalmont, Kathryn Evans, Chelsea Mayoh, Raushan T. Kurmasheva, Catherine A. Billups, Peter J. Houghton, Malcolm A. Smith,  Richard B. Lock Abstract Background Denintuzumab mafodotin (SGN‐CD19A) is a CD19‐targeting antibody‐drug conjugate, comprising a monoclonal antibody conjugated to the potent cytotoxin monomethyl auristatin F. Since denintuzumab mafodotin has previously shown activity against B‐cell malignancies in early‐stage clinical trials, it […]
