Drug Facts

ClassAnti-CD33 humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (calicheamicin payload)
MechanismHumanized anti-CD33 IgG4 monoclonal antibody conjugated to N-acetyl-γ-calicheamicin dimethyl hydrazide. Binds CD33 on myeloid blasts (>80% AML express CD33; APL especially CD33+), internalizes, releases calicheamicin → DNA double-strand breaks → apoptosis. Originally withdrawn 2010 over OS concerns; reapproved 2017 at fractionated lower dose with improved safety profile. Used in newly-dx CD33+ AML (ALFA-0701) and salvage CD33+ AML + relapsed APL (MyloFrance).
Typical dosingNewly-dx AML (ALFA-0701): 3 mg/m² IV (max 4.5 mg) days 1, 4, 7 of induction + day 1 of each consolidation. R/R AML / APL (MyloFrance): 3 mg/m² IV days 1, 4, 7. Single-agent salvage dose: 6 mg/m² IV day 1 + 3 mg/m² IV day 8.

Notes

Anti-CD33 ADC. ALFA-0701 (Castaigne et al., Lancet 2012) — newly dx AML 50-70 + 7+3 + GO at fractionated dose: improved EFS + RFS. MyloFrance-1 (Aribi et al., Cancer 2007) — single-agent GO in r/r APL post-ATRA-ATO: CR ~91% (relapsed APL exquisitely CD33+; rapid deep MRD-negative responses). VOD risk dominant safety concern — dose-fractionation (3 mg/m² × 3 doses spaced Days 1, 4, 7) reduced VOD incidence vs original 9 mg/m² single dose, allowing 2017 reapproval after 2010 withdrawal. Limit to 2 cycles pre-alloHCT; avoid dual-alkylator conditioning to minimize VOD risk. Ukraine: NOT registered — access via named- patient import / EAP Pfizer / cross-border (EMA-approved 2018).
