Clinical monograph
How it works
It is a CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibody that simultaneously engages CD20 on B lymphoma cells and CD3 on T cells, redirecting T-cell-mediated killing of the malignant B cells.
Prescribing in practice
- Cytokine release syndrome is an important risk, so step-up dosing is used at initiation and patients must be monitored and managed according to the SPC.
- Serious infections and neurological adverse effects can occur and require prompt recognition.
- It should be administered in a setting equipped to manage cytokine release syndrome by an experienced specialist team.
Monitoring
Monitor closely for cytokine release syndrome, neurological symptoms, infection and tumour lysis, particularly during early cycles.
Counselling the patient
- Higher first doses are given gradually to lower the risk of a reaction.
- Report fever, confusion, breathlessness or feeling very unwell straight away.
Evidence & guidelines
Activity in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma is supported by its pivotal phase 1/2 trial and reflected in MHRA approval.
