Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the off-label use of antibodies targeting lymphocytes and to promote the rational clinical use of this type of drug.
METHODS A multidisciplinary team of experts was established and the guidelines were developed through many rounds of expert discussion based on evidence-based medicine.
RESULTS A total of 148 items on off-label use supported by sufficient evidence were included, including 4 items on CD3 and CD19 bispecific antibodies, 103 items on CD20 antibodies, 23 items on antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting CD30, 17 items on CD38 antibodies and 1 item on ADC targeting CD79b.
CONCLUSION This guideline clarifies the off-label use of antibodies targeting lymphocytes with sufficient evidence, and provides a practical reference for the off-label use of this type of drug.
