Cantuzumab Mertansine, a Maytansinoid Immunoconjugate Directed to the CanAg Antigen: A Phase I, Pharmacokinetic, and Biologic Correlative Study
Abstract
Purpose: To determine the maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetics of cantuzumab mertansine, an immunoconjugate of the potent maytansine derivative (DM1) and the humanized monoclonal antibody (huC242) directed to CanAg, intravenously (IV) once every 3 weeks and to seek evidence of antitumor activity. Patients and Methods: Patients with CanAg-expressing solid malignancies were treated with escalating doses of cantuzumab mertansine administered IV every 3 weeks. The pharmacokinetic parameters of cantuzumab mertansine, the presence of plasma-shed CanAg, and the development of both human antihuman and human anti-DM1 conjugate antibodies also were characterized. Results: Thirty-seven patients received 110 courses of cantuzumab mertansine at doses ranging from 22 to 295 mg/m 2. Acute, transient, and reversible elevations of hepatic transaminases were the principal toxic effects. Nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea were common but rarely severe at the highest dose levels. Dose, peak concentration, and area under the concentration–time curve correlated with the severity of transaminase elevation. The mean (± SD) clearance and terminal elimination half-life values for cantuzumab mertansine averaged 39.5 (±13.1) mL/h/m 2 and 41.1 (±16.1) hours, respectively. Strong expression (3+) of CanAg was documented in 68% of patients. Two patients with chemotherapy-refractory colorectal carcinoma had minor regressions, and four patients had persistently stable disease for more than six courses. Conclusion: The recommended dose for cantuzumab mertansine is 235 mg/m 2 IV every 3 weeks. The absence of severe hematologic toxic effects, preliminary evidence of cantuzumab mertansine tumor localization, and encouraging biologic activity in chemotherapy-refractory patients warrant further broad clinical development of this immunoconjugate in CanAg-expressing tumors.

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.
