Overview

Milatuzumab-CL2E-SN-38 is an experimental antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed by Immunomedics (now part of Gilead Sciences). It consists of milatuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD74, conjugated to the cytotoxic payload SN-38 (the active metabolite of irinotecan) via the CL2E cleavable linker. CD74 is a cell-surface antigen that is highly expressed and rapidly internalized in various hematologic and solid tumors. The CL2E linker is a cathepsin-B sensitive variant designed for exceptional serum stability (half-life of approximately 87.5 days) while allowing for efficient intracellular release of SN-38, a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor, through a two-step process involving enzymatic cleavage and intramolecular cyclization. Preclinical studies have evaluated this conjugate in models of melanoma, pancreatic cancer, hepatoma, gastric cancer, and Burkitt lymphoma.
