Denintuzumab mafodotin (INN; development codes SGN-19A or SGN-CD19A) is a humanized monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate designed for the treatment of CD19-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [1] [2] [3] [4] It consists of an anti-CD19 mAb linked to monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), a cytotoxic agent. [5] This drug was developed by Seattle Genetics.

Contents

Denintuzumab refers to the anti-CD19 antibody, and mafodotin refers to MMAF and the chemical linkage. [6]

Clinical trials

The drug is currently in phase I clinical trials. [7] Preliminary phase I results for B-cell malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and B-lineage acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) were presented at the ASH medical conference Dec 2015. [4]

Phase 2

A separate randomized phase 2 trial started in 2015 to evaluate SGN-CD19A in combination with R-ICE chemotherapy for second-line DLBCL. [4] A phase 2 clinical trial in front-line DLBCL is started in 2016. [4] Both trials were terminated by the sponsor based on portfolio prioritization. [8] [9]

Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is a synthetic antineoplastic agent. Because of its toxicity, it cannot be used as a drug itself; instead, it is linked to a monoclonal antibody (MAB) which directs it to the cancer cells. In International Nonproprietary Names for MMAE-MAB-conjugates, the name vedotin refers to MMAE plus its linking structure to the antibody. It is a potent antimitotic drug derived from peptides occurring in marine shell-less mollusc Dolabella auricularia called dolastatins which show potent activity in preclinical studies, both in vitro and in vivo, against a range of lymphomas, leukemia and solid tumors. These drugs show potency of up to 200 times that of vinblastine, another antimitotic drug used for Hodgkin lymphoma as well as other types of cancer.

Gene expression profiling has revealed that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is composed of at least 3 different sub-groups, each having distinct oncogenic mechanisms that respond to therapies in different ways. Germinal Center B-Cell like (GCB) DLBCLs appear to arise from normal germinal center B cells, while Activated B-cell like (ABC) DLBCLs are thought to arise from postgerminal center B cells that are arrested during plasmacytic differentiation. The differences in gene expression between GCB DLBCL and ABC DLBCL are as vast as the differences between distinct types of leukemia, but these conditions have historically been grouped together and treated as the same disease.
