Anti-CD22 Immunotoxin

Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori Dino Amadori IRST S.r.l. IRCCS · Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified Jun 2026

Anti-CD22 Immunotoxin is a Immunotoxin Small molecule drug developed by Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori Dino Amadori IRST S.r.l. IRCCS. It is currently in Phase 2 development for B-cell lymphomas (CD22-positive), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, CD22-positive).

An immunotoxin that binds to CD22 on B-cell lymphomas and delivers a cytotoxic payload to kill malignant cells.

Anti-CD22 Immunotoxin is a treatment studied for various conditions, including Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Relapsed/Refractory Hairy Cell Leukemia, and Lymphoma, according to ClinicalTrials.gov. The mechanism of Anti-CD22 Immunotoxin is unknown, as per ChEMBL.

Likelihood of approval
13.3% vs 15.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Oncology Phase 2 attrition -2.0pp
    Oncology drugs have higher Phase 2-to-Phase 3 attrition than average — many fail to show OS benefit in larger studies.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)
Regulator Country Likely year Lag vs FDA
FDA US 2031–2034
EMA EU 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
MHRA GB 2032–2035 +0.7 yr
Health Canada CA 2032–2036 +0.9 yr

Mechanism of action

Anti-CD22 immunotoxins are fusion proteins combining an anti-CD22 antibody or antibody fragment with a toxin (typically a bacterial or plant-derived toxin like diphtheria toxin or pseudomonas exotoxin). The antibody component targets CD22, a B-cell-restricted antigen, while the toxin moiety is internalized upon binding and inhibits protein synthesis, leading to cell death. This approach aims to selectively eliminate CD22-expressing B-cell malignancies while sparing normal tissues.
