Brentuximab Vedotin
An antibody-drug conjugate that delivers a potent cell-killing agent (monomethyl auristatin E) directly to cancer cells expressing the CD30 protein. It is used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma and certain T-cell lymphomas. By targeting CD30, it spares many normal cells from the toxic effects of the chemotherapy payload.
