Rituximab | Rituxan | IDEC-C2B8|MabThera | CD20 Antibody 24 | Rituxan (rituximab) is a chimeric mononclonal antibody that binds to CD20 on B-cells, resulting in induction of complement-dependent and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity, and potentially leading to decreased B-cell tumor growth (PMID: 28983798). Rituxan (rituximab) is FDA approved for use as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy in CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in CD20-positive chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric patients (6 month to 18 years of age) with treatment-naive, CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma, or mature B-cell acute leukemia (B-AL) (FDA.gov). |
Rituximab Hyaluronidase | Rituxan Hycela|Rituximab and Hyaluronidase Human|Rituximab/Hyaluronidase | CD20 Antibody 24 | Rituximab Hyaluronidase consists of a preparation of the CD20 antibody Rituxan (rituximab) combined with hyaluronidase, which upon delivery leads to break down of tissue hyaluronan by the hyaluronidase component, resulting in increased rituximab absorption and potentially resulting in enhanced complement-dependent and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity against CD20-positive tumor cells (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
