Denintuzumab mafodotin

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.

[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] A separate randomized phase 2 trial started in 2015 to evaluate SGN-CD19A in combination with R-ICE chemotherapy for second-line DLBCL.

[4] Both trials were terminated by the sponsor based on portfolio prioritization.
