Antibodies as cytotoxic therapy
RO Dillman
Hoag Cancer Center, Newport Beach, CA 92663.
PURPOSE: This review was conducted to characterize the results of trials of
unconjugated monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of cancer. This survey
does not cover antibodies conjugated to drugs, isotopes, or toxins.
METHODS: An English-language literature search was used to identify reports
of trials of unconjugated monoclonal antibodies in patients with cancer.
RESULTS: Most trials have been pilot or phase I to II in nature. The most
encouraging results have been described for various antibodies directed
against lymphoma, and for certain monoclonal antibodies that bind to
glycolipid antigens on melanoma, sarcoma, and neuroblastoma. Toxicity has
not been a major problem with these reagents, but human antimouse
antibodies have limited the potential application of murine reagents.
CONCLUSION: At present, there are no unconjugated monoclonal antibodies
that have proven therapeutic benefit in hematologic malignancies or solid
tumors. The most active areas of current interest relate to antibodies to
various growth factor receptors and the testing of humanized antibodies.
