Introduction: Ofatumumab is a second-generation humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD20 registered for the treatment of patients with relapsing/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This review will describe the activity of ofatumumab in patients with CD20 B-cell lymphomas. Areas covered: A review of all manuscript published on ofatumumab activity in B-cell lymphomas is presented with conclusions on the future use of this antibody in these patients. Expert opinion: Ofatumumab activity is low in indolent or aggressive B-cell lymphomas. The future of this drug is challenged by new monoclonal antibodies and new targeted drugs.
