Ofatumumab (Ofa) is a new monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody with a high efficacy in fludarabine- and alemtuzumab-refractory B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) [1,2]. Data showing an advantage with the addiction of high dose corticosteroids to the Ofa at standard dose in this type of patients, obtaining an OR rate of 78%, have recently been published in the literature [3].

Abstract
Ofatumumab (Ofa) is a new monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody with a high efficacy in fludarabine- and alemtuzumab-refractory B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) [1,2]. Data showing an advantage with the addiction of high dose corticosteroids to the Ofa at standard dose in this type of patients, obtaining an OR rate of 78%, have recently been published in the literature [3].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
