| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Brentuximab vedotin |
Brentuximab vedotin is an ADC that delivers an antineoplastic agent that results in apoptotic cell death selectively in CD30-expressing tumour cells. Because of the CD30-targeted mechanism of action brentuximab vedotin is able to overcome chemo-resistance as CD30 is consistently expressed in patients who are refractory to multi-agent chemotherapy, irrespective of prior transplant status. |
