Lilotomab

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Lilotomab is a monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of cancer. This drug was developed by Nordic Nanovector.

Mechanism of action[edit | edit source]

Lilotomab works by binding to the CD37 antigen, a protein that is abundantly expressed on the surface of B cells. By binding to this antigen, lilotomab can deliver a dose of radiation directly to the cancer cells, killing them and reducing the size of the tumor.

Clinical trials[edit | edit source]

Lilotomab has been tested in several clinical trials for the treatment of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In these trials, lilotomab was used in combination with Betalutin, a radioimmunotherapeutic agent also developed by Nordic Nanovector.

Side effects[edit | edit source]

Like all drugs, lilotomab can cause side effects. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials include nausea, fatigue, and anemia. Less common side effects include neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphopenia.
