Inotuzumab ozogamicin (CMC-544) is an antibody-drug conjugate for the treatment of cancers.[1] It consists of the humanized monoclonal antibody inotuzumab (for CD22), linked to a cytotoxic agent from the class of calicheamicins (which is reflected by 'ozogamicin' in the drug's name).[2]

This drug was developed by Wyeth.

It is undergoing numerous clinical trials,[3] including two phase II trials for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

A phase III trial for NHL has been terminated due to 'poor enrollment'.[4]
