Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a therapeutically challenging malignancy with high rate of relapse and poor outcomes. There has been increased understanding of the molecular characteristics of AML and the various roles of the immune system in its pathogenesis, the result of which has led to the study and development of multiple immune-based approaches for this disease. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the recent advancements made in antibody-based approaches to the treatment of AML including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and immune checkpoint inhibition. In addition, we provide insight and discuss the promise of these agents, some of which may soon enter the therapeutic armamentarium we currently employ against this lethal disease.
