Gastrointestinal toxicity of gemtuzumab ozogamicin: real-life data from the AMLCG, SAL, and CELL study groups
TO THE EDITOR:The CD33-directed antibody-drug-conjugate “gemtuzumab ozogamicin” (GO) in combination with the 7+3 standard regimen is currently approved for the treatment of CD33+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although the pivotal ALFA-0701 study did not show a significantly increased toxicity using...

| Summary: | TO THE EDITOR:The CD33-directed antibody-drug-conjugate “gemtuzumab ozogamicin” (GO) in combination with the 7+3 standard regimen is currently approved for the treatment of CD33+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although the pivotal ALFA-0701 study did not show a significantly increased toxicity using 7+3 + GO compared with 7+3,1 a slightly higher rate of severe gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity was reported (16% vs 10%), and additional evidence of GO-associated GI toxicity was published.2,3 We observed several cases of severe GI toxicity and therefore analyzed patients treated with GO in a real-world setting. |
