12. Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action

Glofitamab is a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody with a novel 2:1 molecular format — it has two binding domains for CD20 on B cells and one for CD3 on T cells. This 2:1 configuration provides bivalent binding to CD20, resulting in higher avidity for CD20-expressing tumor cells. Obinutuzumab pre-treatment depletes circulating B cells, reducing the risk of severe CRS during glofitamab step-up dosing.

Pharmacokinetics

Half-life: approximately 17 days at 30 mg target dose. Non-linear PK at lower step-up doses. Steady-state by Cycle 3. Clearance decreases with repeated dosing as CD20+ cells are depleted.

14. Clinical Studies

Clinical efficacy and safety data supporting the approval are available in the full prescribing information and from the clinical trials listed below.
