Adjuvant therapy for gastric adenocarcinoma with the apoptosis-inducing human monoclonal antibody SC-1: first clinical and histopathological results

Oncol Rep. 1998 May-Jun;5(3):549-52. doi: 10.3892/or.5.3.549.

Abstract

In a first clinical trial with the apoptosis-inducing human antibody SC-1 eight patients with poorly differentiated stomach adenocarcinoma of diffuse-type received 20 or 30 mg of purified SC-1 antibody intravenously, followed 24 or 48 h later by gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy. In seven cases a significant induction of apoptotic activity was measured in primary tumors as compared with earlier biopsy material and in five patients a significant regression of tumor mass could be determined histopathologically. No toxic crossreactivity was observed with normal tissue or organs of patients.
