APC-80200 (Mylovenge) has been developed for the treatment of B-cell malignancies and is currently in phase II clinical trials as a therapeutic vaccine for patients with advanced multiple myeloma. This vaccine candidate appears to be of particular benefit in patients who have received high-dose chemotherapy to reduce tumor load following stem cell rescue. APC-80200 is also being tested in patients with amyloidosis.
