Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) is a humanized anti-CD33 antibody conjugated with a cytotoxic antitumor antibiotic, calicheamicin-g1. It was developed at the end of the nineties as 90% of the leukemic blast population of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) express the CD33 surface antigen (Dinndorf et al. [1] Blood 1986;67:1048-53). GO is currently approved in monotherapy for the treatment of CD33+ AML patients in first relapse, showing a 26% overall response rate and a median disease-free-survival of 5.2 months for responders (Larson et al. [2] Cancer 2005;104:1442-52). CD33 antigen expression is also observed at diagnosis (in 15% of cases) (Pui et al. [3] J Clin Oncol 1998;16:3768-73) or at relapse (Guglielmi et al. [4] Leukemia 1997; 11:1501-7) of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), representing a potential cellular target for ALL patients. Case series have already demonstrated the efficacy of GO in children with relapsed CD33+ ALL with documentation of complete remission (CR) (Balduzzi et al. [5] Leukemia 2003;17:2247-8; Cotter et al. [6] Br J Haematol 2003;122:686-91; Zwaan et al. [7] Leukemia 2003;17:468-70). In the other hand, there is no report at our knowledge of the use of GO in the setting of adult CD33+ ALL patient. Here we report the case of a 30-year-old man with a refractory CD33+ ALL who received a salvage regimen combining chemotherapy + GO and achieved a transient CR.
