Certolizumab pegol is a pegylated monoclonal antibody against the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). It is formed with a humanized Fab fragment of 50 kDa, from an IgG 1 isotype, fused to a 40 kDa polyethylene glycol moiety replacing the Fc antibody region. The absence of the Fc region was ideated to prevent complement fixation and antibody-mediated cytotoxicity as well as to markedly increase its half-life. Certolizumab does not require glycosylation for active function and hence, its production is significantly more affordable when compared to other existing TNF-alpha therapies as it can be done directly in bacterial hosts such as _E. coli_. It was developed and manufactured by UCB Pharma, first FDA approved in 2008 and updated for a new indication on March 28, 2019.
Selinexor is a first-in-class selective inhibitor of nuclear transport (SINE) compound. Selinexor, in combination with [bortezomib] and [dexamethasone], is currently approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a type of cancer formed from antibody-producing plasma cells.[L7117,L7120,L10145] This condition is typically treated with high dose [bortezomib] and [dexamethasone] chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem-cell transplant. Other chemotherapies for multiple myeloma include [lenalidomide] and [dexamethasone], [thalidomide], and may include [melphalan] if the patient is not eligible for transplant. Selinexor was also granted accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that have gone through at least 2 lines of systemic therapy. The FDA approved Selinexor in June 2019. The use of selinexor in combination with [bortezomib] and [dexamethasone] was approved by Health Canada in June 2022 for the treatment of multiple myeloma in adult patients who have received at least one prior therapy.
