Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) has a very poor prognosis. Since there currently are limited treatment options for ATL patients, several novel agents are being developed and tested clinically. Antibody therapy against ATL was initially started with interleukin-2 receptor α-subunit, CD25, as a target molecule in the late 1980s, and is currently ongoing. CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) was postulated as a novel molecular target in ATL antibody therapy, and humanized anti-CCR4 mAb (KW-0761), whose Fc region was defucosylated to enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, was developed. A phase I study of KW-0761 in relapsed ATL and peripheral T-cell lymphoma was started in 2006, and a subsequent phase II study was completed in 2010. KW-0761 showed a clinically meaningful antitumor activity in patients with relapsed ATL, with an acceptable toxicity profile. The prognosis of ATL patients should be improved in the near future with clinical applications of novel treatment strategies, including those involving KW-0761 and other promising antibody therapies targeting CD25 or CD30.

D002986	Clinical Trials as Topic	Works about pre-planned studies of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule (if appropriate) of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. This concept includes clinical trials conducted both in the U.S. and in other countries.	Clinical Trial as Topic

D000911	Antibodies, Monoclonal	Antibodies produced by a single clone of cells.	Monoclonal Antibodies,Monoclonal Antibody,Antibody, Monoclonal
D000920	Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity	The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
