Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in Combination With Busulfan and Cyclophosphamid and Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With High Risk CD33+ Acute Myelogenous Leukemia/Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (CMA-676) is a chemotherapeutic agent consisting of recombinant
humanized anti-CD33 antibody conjugated with calicheamicin, a highly potent cytotoxic
antitumor antibiotic. The antibody portion of Gemtuzumab binds specifically to the CD33
antigen, a sialic acid-dependent adhesion protein expressed on the surface of leukemia
blasts, normal and leukemic myeloid colony-forming cells, including leukemic clonogenic
precursors, but excluding pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and nonhematopoietic cells.
This results in formation of the complex that is internalized, upon which calicheamicin
derivative is released with in the lysosomes of the myeloid cell. The free calicheamicin
derivative then binds to the DNA, resulting in DNA double strand breaks and consequential
cell death.
