Therapy Description |
Gazyva (obinutuzumab) is a glycoengineered anti-CD20 antibody that binds to CD20 on B-cells, resulting in increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and induction of apoptosis, and potentially leading to decreased growth of B-cell tumors (PMID: 20194898, PMID: 21220500). Gazyva (obinutuzumab) is FDA approved in combination with Ambochlorin (chlorambucil) for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and in combination with Treanda (bendamustine) or chemotherapy for follicular lymphoma (FDA.gov). |
