12. Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action

Mosunetuzumab is a bispecific antibody that bridges CD20-expressing B-cell lymphoma cells and CD3-expressing T cells. It binds CD20 on tumor cells and CD3ε on T cells simultaneously, forming an immunological synapse that activates T cells to release cytotoxic granules (perforin and granzymes), resulting in lysis of CD20-positive tumor cells. This mechanism is independent of T-cell receptor specificity or MHC class I restriction.

Pharmacokinetics

Half-life: approximately 16 days at 30 mg. Non-linear PK at lower doses due to target-mediated drug disposition. Steady-state approached by Cycle 3. Clearance decreases with repeated dosing as CD20+ B 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.
