Ublituximab, an intravenous glycoengineered chimeric anti-CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), is a new FDA-approved treatment for relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Reassembling the other three anti-CD20 mAbs already in use for MS (rituximab, ocrelizumab and ofatumumab), ublituximab leads to depletion of B cells but spars long-lived plasma cells. Here, we discuss the main findings obtained during the phase 3 clinical trials (ULTIMATE I and II) for ublituximab versus teriflunomide. The current emergence and approval of new anti-CD20 mAbs with different dose regimens, routes of application, glycoengineering and mechanisms of action may contribute to different clinical outcomes.
乌利妥昔单抗,一种静脉内糖基化嵌合抗 CD20 IgG1 单克隆抗体(mAb),是美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的治疗多发性硬化症(MS)复发性疾病的新疗法。与已用于 MS 的另外三种抗 CD20 mAb(利妥昔单抗、奥瑞珠单抗和奥法妥木单抗)重新组合,乌利妥昔单抗导致 B 细胞耗竭,但很少影响长寿浆细胞。在这里,我们讨论了在乌利妥昔单抗与特立氟胺的 3 期临床试验(ULTIMATE I 和 II)中获得的主要发现。新的抗 CD20 mAb 的出现和批准,具有不同的剂量方案、应用途径、糖基化和作用机制,可能导致不同的临床结果。
