    ▎Editor of WuXi AppTec's content team recently, an antibody-conjugated drug (ADC)-Ogaituzumab for injection Bosa; English trade name BESPONSA), approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China, and indicated for "adult patients with relapsed or refractory precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
    .
    "
    Screenshot source: NMPA official website According to public information, Ogaituzumab is the first CD22-targeting antibody conjugate drug approved by the U.
    S.
    Food and Drug Administration (FDA); at the same time, Ogaituzumab It is also the first approved antibody-conjugated drug in the field of treatment of relapsed or refractory precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in China
    .

    The approval of this drug in China will provide patients with new treatment options
    .

    Common hematological malignancies Leukemia is a common hematological malignancy
    .

    According to data released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), 85,000 new leukemia patients will be added to China in 2020, resulting in 62,000 deaths
    .

    According to the differentiation and maturity of leukemia cells and the natural course of the disease, leukemia can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic
    .

    Acute leukemia (AL) develops rapidly, with a natural course of only a few months
    .

    Chronic leukemia (CL) develops slowly, with a natural course of several years
    .

    In China, there are more patients with acute leukemia than chronic leukemia (about 5.
    5:1); the incidence of men is slightly higher than that of women (1.
    81:1)
    .

    According to the main cell series involved, acute leukemia can be divided into acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML); chronic leukemia can be divided into chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) And rare types of leukemia
    .

    Acute lymphocytic leukemia accounts for about 15% of all leukemias, and accounts for 30%-40% of acute leukemias.
    It is a malignant tumor disease in which B-line or T-line cells derived from lymphocytes proliferate abnormally in the bone marrow
    .

    Abnormally proliferated primitive cells can accumulate in the bone marrow and inhibit normal hematopoietic function, and can also invade tissues outside the bone marrow
    .

    For the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the current standard therapy is long-term high-intensity chemotherapy
    .

    However, after the initial treatment, 10%-20% of patients cannot be effectively relieved, which means that they have not responded to the treatment
    .

    Among those patients who appear in remission, half of the patients will relapse, and the five-year overall survival rate is less than 10%
    .

    Under traditional standard chemotherapy regimens, it is difficult for patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia to achieve complete remission and achieve long-term survival.
    It is estimated that their median survival time is only 4.
    5-6 months
    .

    Therefore, these patients urgently need innovative treatment methods
    .

    Image source: 123RF antibody-conjugated drug Ogaituzumab is an antibody-conjugated drug targeting CD22
    .

    CD22 is a cell surface antigen found on tumor cells.
    In patients with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, at least 90% of patients express CD22 on the surface of tumor cells
    .

    Ogaituzumab consists of two parts
    .

    One part is a monoclonal antibody targeting CD22, and the other part is the cytotoxic drug calicheamicin
    .

    Monoclonal antibodies are "navigators" that identify tumor cells and can achieve precise guidance
    .

    When the monoclonal antibody of Ogaituzumab recognizes and binds to the CD22 antigen on the surface of the tumor cell, the antibody-conjugated drug will be brought into the tumor cell; then the cytotoxic drug is released in the tumor cell— -Caulisomycin, which launches a fierce attack from the inside and eventually kills tumor cells
    .

    ▲The safety and efficacy of antibody-conjugated drugs combined with antigen molecules on the surface of cancer cells (picture source: produced by WuXi AppTec's content team) have been evaluated for safety and efficacy
    .
    The safety and effectiveness of Ogaituzumab have been evaluated .

    Based on the data when Ogaituzumab was approved in the United States, a total of 326 precursor B-cell acute lymphoid patients were recruited in a phase 3 randomized, open-label, multi-center international clinical trial named INO-VATE ALL.
    Adult patients with cell leukemia
    .

    Some of the patients were treated with Ogaituzumab, and the other received chemotherapy
    .

    The study found that the complete remission rate (CR) of patients in the ozaituzumab group was 81%, while the data in the chemotherapy group was only 29%
    .

    Among all patients who achieved complete remission, patients in the Ogaituzumab group had a higher negative rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) at 78%, compared with 28% in the chemotherapy group
    .

    The median overall survival of patients in the Ogaituzumab group was 7.
    7 months, and that of the chemotherapy group was 6.
    2 months
    .

    In terms of safety, the researchers pointed out that Ogaituzumab may cause liver toxicity
    .

    Image source: 123RF We expect that with the approval of Ogaituzumab for injection in China, patients can have more treatment options and save more patients' lives
    .
