Sipuleucel-T is a personalized, autologous, cellular immunotherapy. Sipuleucel-T is a therapeutic cancer vaccine for prostate cancer. Sipuleucel-T selectively targets the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) known as prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) that is expressed in around 95% of prostate cancers. It must be prepared specifically for each patient. In metastatic prostate cancer, it has extended survival by median 4.1 months (IMPACT Phase III trial data). Sipuleucel-T is marketed under the brand name Provenge by Dendreon Corporation. Sipuleucel-T was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 29, 2010, to treat asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC). The treatment initially cost $93,000 at the time of FDA approval, but rose to over $
Inappropriate growth of or self-directed antibody production by B-cells is the etiological underpinning of a variety of conditions, including the multiple sclerosis-like neurological condition neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).[A214283, A214286] Inebilizumab is a humanized afucosylated monoclonal IgG1 antibody directed against the broadly expressed B-cell surface antigen CD19. Inebilizumab is cytolytic, resulting in B-cell depletion and offering therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from NMOSD. Compared to the anti-CD20 antibody [rituximab], which is also used to treat NMOSD, inebilizumab has broader specificity.[A214280, A214289, A214292, A214295, A214298, A214301] Inebilizumab was granted FDA approval on June 11, 2020, for the treatment of anti-aquaporin 4 positive NMOSD patients. Given its mechanism of action and good safety profile, it may prove useful in the treatment of other conditions linked to autoimmune antibody production or B-cell malignancies.[A214280, A214295] On January 16, 2024, Iinebilizumab also received Health Canada approval for the same indication.
