Lisocabtagene maraleucel (also known as JCAR017; Celgene) will be the third autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy to reach the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) market following the launches of approved CAR-T drugs Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel; Novartis) and Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel; Gilead).
Polatuzumab vedotin (Roche) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that combines a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig)-G1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) targeting human B-cell surface antigen cluster of differentiation (CD)79b and antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE).
MorphoSys is positioning its cluster of differentiation (CD)19-targeted monoclonal antibody MOR208 in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients who are ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
Umbralisib (TG Therapeutics/Rhizen) is a novel phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta inhibitor that also selectively inhibits casein kinase-1 (CK1) epsilon. Expression of the PI3K delta isoform plays a role in B-cell development and function, and is often overactivated in B-cell malignancies.
Kinenza (enzastaurin) is an oral serine/threonine kinase inhibitor that suppresses signaling of protein kinase C (PKC)-beta to induce cell apoptosis, reduce cell proliferation, and suppress tumor-induced angiogenesis.
Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel; Gilead) became the first chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy to launch for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) when it gained US approval for relapsed/refractory patients in October 2017.
Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel; Novartis) is a cluster of differentiation (CD)19-targeted genetically modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy, comprised of a murine single-chain antibody fragment that binds CD19 and is linked to intracellular signaling domains from 4-1BB (CD137) and CD3 zeta.
MEDI8897 is a human immunoglobulin G1 MAb derived from human B cells intended to provide protection against RSV infection.
Pfizer’s RSV preF vaccine is based on the prefusion form of the RSV fusion protein, aided by the discovery of the crystal structure of key viral proteins by the National Institutes of Health.
Vertex’s Symdeko ([tezacaftor + ivacaftor]) is a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector compound
Seribantumab (Merrimack Pharmaceuticals) is a monoclonal antibody directed against human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3).
Lorlatinib (Pfizer) is an orally administered anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with potential antineoplastic activity
Entrectinib (Roche/Chugai/Nerviano) is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of the tropomyosin receptor kinases (Trk) A, B, and C; ROS1; and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) proteins. Under normal conditions, these oncogenes regulate the flow of cellular growth signaling.
Cemiplimab (Regeneron/Sanofi) is a programmed death-1 (PD-1)-targeted monoclonal antibody
Capmatinib (Incyte/Novartis) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-MET, also called hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR).
