The drug is the first anti-CD74 antibody that has entered into human testing and is currently being studied for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Milatuzumab has received orphan drug designation from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for the treatment of multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Milatuzumab was developed by [http://www.immunomedics.com Immunomedics, Inc], (Morris Plains NJ USA).
CD74

{{Refimprove section|date=November 2015}}
CD74 is present on a variety of hematological tumors and even on some solid cancers. It is present in limited amounts in normal tissues but widely found in leukemias, lymphomas and the vast majority of multiple myeloma cases.{{cn|date=November 2015}} CD74 is involved in a cell-to-cell communication pathway that is critical for survival.{{cn|date=November 2015}} When CD74 is blocked by milatuzumab, it can lead to cell death.
CD74 is an attractive target for a drug conjugate because of its rapid internalizing property.{{cn|date=November 2015}}
