Cantuzumab ravtansine (IMGN242; huC242-DM4), an ADC, is a humanized monoclonal antibody, huC242, covalently linked via a disulfide bond to DM4 (DM4 (HY-12454)). Cantuzumab ravtansine has broad antitumor efficacy against a range of CanAg-positive human tumor xenografts[1][2].
Cantuzumab ravtansine (huC242-DM4; 5 days) shows cytotoxic effect in CanAg-positive SNU16 gastric cancer cells[2].
Cantuzumab ravtansine (huC242-DM4; i.v; 3.4 mg/kg; a single dose) causes complete regression of the tumors in SCID mice bearing N87 human gastric tumor xenografts, with significant tumor regression observed at a dose below 2 mg/kg[1].
Cantuzumab ravtansine (huC242-DM4) is also curative in mice bearing human colon tumor xenografts of HT29 and COLO 205 cells, at doses that were non-toxic[1].
