Abstract

Zilovertamab Vedotin Targeting of ROR1 as Therapy for Lymphoid Cancers In a Phase 1 trial, patients with refractory lymphoid cancers, an antibody-drug complex directed against ROR1 had no unexpected toxicities. About half of the patients with mantle cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma had clinically meaningful responses.
