What is Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a CD33-directed antibody-drug conjugate. It is approved for the treatment of CD33-positive acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) as a single agent in adults with newly diagnosed AML and in patients aged 2 years and older with relapsed or refractory AML.

Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is also indicated in combination with other chemotherapy agents for the treatment of pediatric patients aged 1 month and older and adults with newly diagnosed AML.

The FDA approved gemtuzumab ozogamicin in May 2000 for the treatment of CD33-positive AML in first relapse in patients aged 60 years and older who were not considered candidates for cytotoxic chemotherapy.

However, it was removed from the market voluntarily by the manufacturer in June 2010 due to safety concerns and questions of clinical benefit.

The current FDA approval includes a lower recommended dose, a different schedule in combination with chemotherapy or on its own, and a new patient population
