Tositumomab is a murine IgG2a lambda monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen, produced in mammalian cells.[1] Combined with radioisotope iodine 131[2] it was called Iodine I 131 Tositumomab and was approved for the treatment of relapsed or chemotherapy/rituxan-refractory Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2003.[3][4]

It was sold in the U.S. and Canada under the trade name Bexxar.

This drug combination was developed by Corixa which was purchased by GlaxoSmithKline) in 2005.[5]

Sale of Bexxar was discontinued and marketing approval was withdrawn in February 2014 due to the decline in usage (fewer than 75 patients in 2012) and the existence of other similar drugs.[2][6]
