Glofitamab stimulates immune cell infiltration of CNS tumors and induces clinical responses in secondary CNS lymphoma

Blood. 2024 Jul 25;144(4):457-461. doi: 10.1182/blood.2024024168.

Abstract

Although CD20×CD3 bispecific antibodies are effective against systemic B-cell lymphomas, their efficacy in central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma is unknown. Here, we report the CD20×CD3 bispecific glofitamab penetrates the blood-brain barrier, stimulates immune-cell infiltration of CNS tumors, and induces clinical responses in patients with secondary CNS.
