Overview

GLK-33 is a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by Gliknik for the treatment of CD33-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It consists of the humanized anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody lintuzumab conjugated to approximately eight mavg-MMAU (monomethyl auristatin U) linker-payloads. GLK-33 is designed to address the limitations of earlier CD33-targeted ADCs, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, by offering a wider therapeutic window and improved tolerability. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that GLK-33 exhibits potent antitumor activity against CD33-positive leukemia cell lines, primary AML samples, and multidrug-resistant cells, while maintaining a favorable safety profile in animal toxicology models.
