Preferred Label : Polatuzumab Vedotin;
NCIt synonyms : ADC DCDS4501A; Antibody-Drug Conjugate DCDS4501A; polatuzumab vedotin-piiq;
NCIt definition : An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a monoclonal antibody directed against
B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein beta chain (CD79B) conjugated,
via a protease-cleavable peptide linker, to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), an auristatin
derivative and a potent microtubule inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity.
Upon administration, the monoclonal antibody moiety of polatuzumab vedotin selectively
binds to CD79B, a protein which is abundantly expressed on the surface of B-cells.
Upon internalization and proteolytic cleavage, MMAE binds to tubulin and inhibits
its polymerization, resulting in G2/M phase arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. CD79B,
a component of the B-cell receptor (BCR), plays a key role in B-cell receptor signaling
and is expressed on the surface of almost all types of malignant B-cells.;
