Yttrium Y 90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan
Yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) is a radioimmunotherapy agent comprising a murine anti-CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody (ibritumomab) conjugated via the DTPA-like chelator tiuxetan to the beta-emitting radioisotope yttrium-90. It delivers targeted radiation to CD20-positive B lymphocytes and surrounding tumor cells (crossfire effect) through antibody-directed tumor localization. It is used for the treatment of relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
