Immunomedics (IMMU) Announces Improved Efficacy of Veltuzumab and Pretargeted Anti-CD20 Combo in Lymphoma Model

June 17, 2009 8:39 AM EDT

Immunomedics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMMU) today announced that naked veltuzumab enhances the therapeutic response to a veltuzumab-based pretargeted radioimmunotherapy in a human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma model.

RAIT utilizes an antibody to deliver targeted radiation to tumors. One of the challenges of conventional RAIT is that antibodies that are not attached to their targets stay in the body for a significant period of time, exposing the body and the bone marrow, in particular, to the harmful effects of radiation unnecessarily, and limiting the level of the tolerated radioisotope dose.
