| Description | Indium conjugated murine IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen, which is found on the surface of normal and malignant B lymphocytes. Ibritumomab is produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells and is composed of two murine gamma 1 heavy chains of 445 amino acids each and two kappa light chains of 213 amino acids each. |
| Indication/Disease | For treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma |
| Pharmacodynamics | Ibritumomab is a murine monoclonal antibody against CD20 that has been radiolabeled with yttrium-90. |
| Mechanism of Action | The Fab segment of the antibody targets the CD20 epitope on B-cells, allowing the radioactive yttrium to destroy the cell via production of beta particles. |
| Toxicity | NA |
| Metabolism | Most likely removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system when bound to B cells, or by human antimurine antibody production |
| Absorption | NA |
| NA |
| Clearance | Approximately 7.2% of injected dose of yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan is excreted in urine within 7 days. |
