• Moxetumomab Pasudotox-Tdfk (Lumoxiti) is designed for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory hairy cell leukemia who have received at least two prior systemic therapies, including a purine nucleoside analog.
• Five studies were analyzed to collect information about Lumoxiti.
• When compared to other medications such as Vemurafenib, Bendamustine/Rituximab, and Ibrutinib, Lumoxiti showed an overall response rate of 75% with 41% achieving complete responses in a phase 3 trial, demonstrating its effectiveness for this group.
• The pharmacokinetics profile of Lumoxiti indicates a rapid initial clearance that slows over time. The presence of antidrug antibodies may increase clearance but does not preclude effectiveness; benefits were noted even in patients with lower exposure or high antibody titers.
• Common adverse events linked with Lumoxiti include infusion-related reactions, edema, nausea, and fatigue, among others. Serious adverse events such as capillary leak syndrome and hemolytic uremic syndrome are noted, but strategies for prevention and management are provided to ensure safe use.
• Conditions such as the HCL variant and IGHV4–34+ unmutated HCL warrant further investigation, suggesting a nuanced approach to treatment in these subgroups. Additionally, its role prior to certain clinical procedures, such as splenectomy, is critical, especially when aiming for MRD-free complete responses.
