Inotuzumab ozogamicin

How it works

Binds to CD22 on cancer cells, marking them for immune destruction and blocking their growth signals.

Cancer types

Leukemia— CD22-positive

Efficacy

Side effects

Severe

This treatment carries a higher risk of serious side effects. Close medical monitoring is required throughout treatment.
