Abstract
Introduction: Antibody-based immunotherapies are a class of therapeutics under active investigation in clinical trials for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our review provides a comprehensive examination of trials published to date, focusing on recurrent challenges and promising aspects of antibody-based therapeutics.
Areas covered: We described antibody-based immunotherapies for AML, specifically, an overview of the most prominent antigen targets in published clinical trials investigating monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor therapies. Manuscripts and abstracts describing clinical trials investigating antibody-based therapies for AML published through December 2024, identified by searching Google Scholar and PubMed, were included.
Expert opinion: Antibody-based immunotherapies for AML have encountered limitations, including imperfect target antigens with significant associated toxicity such as myelosuppression, in addition to challenges specific to the AML patient population. The majority of trials have targeted CD33, CD123, CD371 (CLL1/Clec12), and CD47. For successful implementation of antibody-based therapeutics in AML treatment, future directions require creative applications of antibody-based therapeutics specifically engineered to minimize limiting toxicities and tailoring of therapies for this unique patient population.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy (1471-2598; 1744-7682) is a MEDLINE-indexed, international journal publishing peer-reviewed research across all aspects of biological therapy.
Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical industries and others closely involved in the development and application of biological therapies for the treatment of human disease.
The journal welcomes:
Reviews covering therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, peptides and proteins, gene therapies and gene transfer technologies, cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine
Drug evaluations reviewing the clinical data on a particular biological agent
Original research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on biological agents and biotherapeutic-based studies with a strong link to clinical practice
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
