BI-836858
Also known as: anti-CD33 mAb BI-836858, BI 836858
Summary
BI-836858 is a fully human, Fc-optimized anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). It binds CD33 on leukemic blasts and utilizes enhanced ADCC/ADCP activity due to its engineered Fc region. Clinical trials have investigated it as monotherapy and in combination regimens in relapsed/refractory AML and MDS.
Mechanism of Action
Fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting CD33 (Siglec-3) expressed on myeloid leukemia cells. Mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) against CD33-positive malignant cells, leveraging enhanced Fc-mediated effector functions.
