Abstract

In The Lancet Haematology, Mehdi Hamadani and colleagues1 report a large phase 1 study of the feasibility, safety, and activity of camidanlumab tesirine, an antibody–drug conjugate comprising a human anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer via a cleavable linker. After binding to CD25 present on lymphoma cells and normal activated B cells and T cells, camidanlumab tesirine enters the tumour cell by endocytosis, the linker is cleaved, and pyrrolobenzodiazepine causes death of the tumour cell via DNA cross-linking.
