Abstract

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. In all, 10 patients had SD and received extended treatment. One complete response and a significant regression was observed during the follow-up of the treatment. Five patients with progressive disease at study entry were stable for more than 6 months after study entry. The median survival after treatment start was 15 months. The weekly schedule of WX-G250 was well tolerated. With a median survival of 15 months after the start of this treatment and two late clinical responses, WX-G250 seems to be able to modulate mRCC. To improve the activity of WX-G250-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and the clinical response rate, currently combinations of WX-G250 with cytokines are in phase II trials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
