Iratumumab is a human monoclonal antibody that was investigated for treating oncological diseases such as relapsed refractory CD30-positive lymphoma including Hodgkin's disease.[1][2]

This drug was developed by Medarex, which was later acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

The FDA granted orphan drug designation for Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2004. In 2009, development was suspended with no explanation given.[3]
