Veltuzumab is a monoclonal antibody (targeted at CD20) which is being investigated for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. [1] [2] As of December 2011, it is undergoing Phase I/II clinical trials. [3] When used with milatuzumab it showed activity. [4]

This drug was developed by Immunomedics, Inc. and was originally known as IMMU-106. [5]

In August 2015 the US FDA granted it orphan drug status for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). [6] A phase II trial is planned to run for 5 years. [6]
