Notes

CD33 (Siglec-3) is the target of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO; anti-CD33 calicheamicin ADC). CD33+ status (≥20% of blasts) is the diagnostic standard for GO eligibility — confirmed at AML diagnostic flow panel. Cross-disease relevance: - **AML** (~85-90%): CD33+ on most myeloblasts — eligibility gate for fractionated GO add-on to 7+3 induction (ALFA-0701: 2-yr EFS 41% vs 17%; benefit driven by CBF / favorable + intermediate cytogenetics, no benefit in adverse-risk / TP53m). Also for emerging CD33 CAR-T, BiTEs (e.g. AMG-330). - **APL**: CD33+ universally; GO active as relapsed-APL salvage when ATO/ATRA-refractory. - **MDS / CMML high-blast**: subset CD33+; off-label GO occasional use. - **Pediatric AML**: COG-AAML0531 confirms GO benefit in favorable-risk peds AML (similar EFS gain). Quantitative MFI matters: low CD33 density predicts inferior GO response in CBF-AML. Hepatic VOD/SOS dose-related risk (boxed warning). `ihc_no_variant` skip reason — protein expression target, not variant.
