Obinutuzumab, sold under the brand name Gazyva among others, is a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody used as a treatment for cancer and active lupus nephritis. It was originated by GlycArt Biotechnology AG and developed by Roche.

==Medical uses== As of 2015, obinutuzumab was being used in combination with chlorambucil as a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. One more recent study has shown deeper and longer-lasting remissions through fixed-duration treatment regimens in combination with venetoclax.
