Gemtuzumab ozogamicin, sold under the brand name Mylotarg, is an antibody-drug conjugate (a drug-linked monoclonal antibody) that is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia.[5][7][8]

The most common side effects include infection, febrile neutropenia, decreased appetite, hyperglycemia, mucositis, hypoxia, hemorrhage, increased transaminase, diarrhea, nausea, and hypotension.[9] However, the addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin to standard chemotherapy regimens does not increase infection rates. [10]

Medical uses

In the United States, gemtuzumab ozogamicin is indicated for newly diagnosed CD33-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for adults and children one month and older and for the treatment of relapsed or refractory CD33-positive AML in adults and children two years and older.[5][9]

Mechanism

Gemtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody to CD33 linked to a cytotoxic agent from the class of calicheamicins (ozogamicin).[5] CD33 is expressed in most leukemic blast cells but also in normal hematopoietic cells, the intensity diminishing with maturation of stem cells.[5]

History

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin was created in a collaboration between Celltech and Wyeth that began in 1991.[11][12] The same collaboration later produced inotuzumab ozogamicin.[13] Celltech was acquired by UCB in 2004[14] and Wyeth was acquired by Pfizer in 2009.[15]

In the United States, it was approved under an accelerated-approval process by the FDA in 2000, for use in patients over the age of 60 with relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); or those who are not considered candidates for standard chemotherapy.[16] The accelerated approval was based on the surrogate endpoint of response rate.[17] It was the first antibody-drug conjugate to be approved.[18]

Within the first year after approval, the FDA required a black box warning be added to gemtuzumab packaging. The drug was noted to increase the risk of veno-occlusive disease in the absence of bone marrow transplantation.[19] Later the onset of VOD was shown to occur at increased frequency in gemtuzumab patients even following bone marrow transplantation.[20] The drug was discussed in a 2008 JAMA article, which criticized the inadequacy of postmarketing surveillance of biologic agents.[21]

A randomized Phase III comparative controlled trial (SWOG S0106) was initiated in 2004, by Wyeth in accordance with the FDA accelerated-approval process. The study was stopped on August 20, 2009, prior to completion due to worrisome outcomes.[22] Among the patients evaluated for early toxicity, fatal toxicity rate was significantly higher in the gemtuzumab combination therapy group vs the standard therapy group. Mortality was 5.7% with gemtuzumab and 1.4% without the agent (16/283 = 5.7% vs 4/281 = 1.4%; P = .01).[17]

In June 2010, Pfizer withdrew Mylotarg from the market at the request of the US FDA.[23][24] However, some other regulatory authorities did not agree with the FDA decision, with Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency stating in 2011 that the "risk-benefit balance of gemtuzumab ozogamicin has not changed from its state at the time of approval".[25]

In 2017, Pfizer reapplied for US and EU approval, based on a meta-analysis of prior trials and results of the ALFA-0701 clinical trial, an open-label Phase III trial in 280 older people with AML.[18] In September 2017, gemtuzumab ozogamicin was approved again for use in the United States[7][26] and in the European Union.[6]
