Abstract

Fifteen patients with refractory Hodgkin's disease were treated in a phase I/II trial with the natural killer (NK)-cell–activating bispecific monoclonal antibody HRS-3/A9, which is directed against the Fcγ-receptor III (CD16 antigen) and the Hodgkin's-associated CD30 antigen, respectively. Median counts of NK cells and of all lymphocyte subsets were considerably decreased in the patients before therapy. HRS-3/A9 was administered 4 times every 3 to 4 days, starting with 1 mg/m2. The treatment was well tolerated, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached at 64 mg/m2, the highest dose administered because of the limited amounts of HRS-3/A9 available. Side effects were rare and consisted of fever, pain in involved lymph nodes, and a maculopapulous rash. A total of 9 patients developed human antimouse Ig antibodies, and 4 patients developed an allergic reaction after attempted retreatment. A total of 1 complete and 1 partial remission (lasting 16 and 3 months, respectively), 3 minor responses (1 to 11+ months), and 1 mixed response were achieved. There was no clear-cut dose-side effect or dose-response correlation. Our results encourage further clinical trials with this novel immunotherapeutic approach and emphasize the necessity to reduce the immunogenicity of the murine bispecific antibodies.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Two Phase 1 clinical studies of HRS-3/A9 led to one complete remission and one partial remission in 15 treated patients; a second trial led to one complete remission and three partial remissions.

    “Two Phase 1 clinical studies performed with this molecule led to one complete remission (CR) and one partial remission (PR) in a group of 15 treated patients; 14 this was followed by one CR and three PR in a second clinical trial. 15”

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.
