inotuzumab ozogamicin

Comments: A good example of a "failed" controlled study that provides valuable information. Without the randomized design and the comparator ... the results may have seemed "encouraging" or "deserving of further study." IO may still find its place as an effective lymphoma treatment (such as in consolidation or in indolent lymphoma). Relapsed / refractory aggressive lymphoma ineligible for SCT is a challenging setting and it seems that chemo has an edge over antibody therapy in this population (based on RIT for example) - perhaps because chemo is faster acting?
