Human DLBCL and B-cell lymphoma xenografts in mice; in vitro Ramos cytotoxicity
“Polatuzumab vedotin demonstrated anti-tumor activity in vitro in CD79b expressing human Burkitt lymphoma (Ramos) cells (IC50 = 0.071 nM) and in vivo in DLBCL and human B-cell lymphoma mouse xenograft models.”

Why that model
Xenograft line co-expressing human and cynomolgus CD79b allowed comparison of clinical and surrogate ADC
“The anti-tumour activity of polatuzumab Ab, polatuzumab vedotin and of the surrogate Ab and ADC was compared in a murine xenograft model with the BJAB Burkitt lymphoma transfectant cell line which expresses comparable amounts of human CD79b and recombinant Cynomolgus CD79b.”
EMA: proof of concept demonstrated in vitro and in DLBCL xenografts, as monotherapy and in combination
“The pharmacological profile of polatuzumab vedotin was demonstrated in in vitro assays and in vivo DLBCL model xenografted in rodents. The proof of concept was successfully demonstrated, an anti tumor efficacy was shown both as monotherapy or combination with rituximab and bendamustine.”
