• Introduction: Polatuzumab vedotin is a CD79b-directed antibody-drug conjugate that delivers monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), an anti-mitotic agent, to cancer cells. The drug consists of three components-a humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody specific for human CD79b (polatuzumab), MMAE, and protease-cleavable linker called maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (mc-vc-PAB) that covalently attaches MMAE to polatuzumab. Polatuzumab vedotin was granted accelerated FDA approval on June 10, 2019 and was approved by Health Canada on July 9, 2020.
• Purity: >99% by SDS-Page and HPLC analysis
• Formula: C6670H10317N1745O2087S40
• Appearance: Liquid

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Polatuzumab vedotin is an anti-cancer agent that works to cause apoptosis in malignant B cells.5 In vitro, it exerted cytotoxic effects on most diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines: this effect was consistent across cell lines, regardless of the cell-of-origin subtypes and whether they harboured mutations in the CD79B gene or not. In mouse xenograft models, polatuzumab vedotin caused apoptosis and reduced proliferation of mature CD79b+ B-cell NHL cell lines. Polatuzumab vedotin can cause immunosuppression, including neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.
• Targets: B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein beta chain
