Novel Immunotherapies for B-Cell Lymphomas and Leukemias

Am J Ther. 2016 Sep-Oct;23(5):e1157-81. doi: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000000145.

Abstract

Current immunotherapeutic agents under investigation have the potential to significantly expand our ability to effectively treat B-cell malignancies. New disease targets, novel strategies to deliver therapy, and advanced agents that work to manipulate the immune system are a few of the ways immunotherapy has quickly evolved. Novel targeted and immune-modifying therapies may demonstrate early potential but unique toxicities and other limitations, such as difficulties in administration, must also be acknowledged. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the current immunotherapies under investigation against B-cell malignancies.
