At a glance

Obinutuzumab is a CD20-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody used for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). It binds to CD20 antigen on B-cells to mediate B-cell lysis.

Indications
  • Previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (with chlorambucil)
  • Previously untreated follicular lymphoma (with chemotherapy + maintenance)
  • Refractory or relapsed follicular lymphoma (with bendamustine + maintenance)
Pharmacology

Obinutuzumab binds to CD20 antigen to mediate B-cell lysis through immune effector cells (ADCC, ADCP), direct apoptosis, and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
