A Clinical Trial With Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody WX-G250 and Low Dose Interleukin-2 Pulsing Scheme for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
2005
WX-G250 is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds to carbonic anhydrase IX(G250/MN), which is present on greater than 95% of RCCs of the clear cell subtype. The suggested working mechanism of WX-G250 is by ADCC. Because the number of activated ADCC effector cells can be increased by a low dose interleukin-2 pulsing schedule, a multicenter study was initiated to investigate whether WX-G250 combined with LD-IL-2 could lead to an improved clinical outcome in patients with progressive RCC.A total of 35 patients with progressive clear cell RCC received weekly infusions of WX-G250 for 11 weeks combined with a daily LD-IL-2 regimen. Patients were monitored longitudinally for ADCC capacity. Radi…
A phase II trial of chimeric monoclonal antibody G250 for advanced renal cell carcinoma patients.
2004
Contains fulltext : 57114.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Chimeric monoclonal antibody G250 (WX-G250) binds to a cell surface antigen found on >90% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A multicentre phase II study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of WX-G250 in metastatic RCC (mRCC) patients. In all, 36 patients with mRCC were included. WX-G250 was given weekly by intravenous infusion for 12 weeks. Patients with stable disease (SD) or response were eligible to receive additional treatment for 8 weeks. None of the 36 enrolled patients experienced any drug-related grade III or IV toxicity. Only three patients had grade II toxicity possibly related to the study medication.…
