Mechanism of action

The drug targets CD22, a surface antigen expressed on B-lineage hematologic malignancies. Upon binding, the antibody-drug conjugate is internalized and releases calicheamicin, which causes DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis. This targeted delivery mechanism concentrates cytotoxicity on malignant B cells while sparing normal tissues.
