Cancer therapeutic antibodies come of age: targeting minimal residual disease.
Ten years after the first clinical application of Rituximab, an anti-CD20 recombinant monoclonal antibody, immunotherapy has become common practice in oncology wards. Thanks to the great diversity of the immune system and the powerful methodology of genetic engineering, the pharmacologic potential of antibody-based therapy is far from exhaustion. The recent application of Trastuzumab, an antibo...
متن کاملEliminating minimal residual disease as a therapeutic end point: working toward cure for patients with CLL.
Deep remission and prolonged disease-free survival can be achieved with first-line chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), such as combined fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab, in the majority of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). More modest results are reported with less intense regimens like obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil. Clinical assessment has limited sensitivity in detecting re...
متن کاملMinimal residual disease in melanoma.
A number of specific genes encoding for melanosomal proteins are selectively expressed in melanocytes and melanomas. For detection of circulating melanoma cells, the expression of the tyrosinase gene is most widely used. Several cohorts of melanoma patients from single institutions have been analyzed by various research groups for the presence of circulating melanoma cells in all stages of dise...
متن کاملTowards Possible Cure of Cancer by Immunotherapy of Minimal Residual Disease
Based on predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM) strategy for treatment of cancer, immunotherapy and additional targeted anti-cancer modalities should be considered for cure of cancer at an early stage of the disease following successful conventional treatment. Alternatively, PPPM strategy should be applied at the stage of minimal residual disease (MRD) induced following success...
متن کاملNovel Immunotherapy to Eliminate Minimal Residual Disease in AML Patients
Even with the most sophisticated chemotherapy regimens, the majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia will eventually experience a relapse and die from their disease. New treatments are needed to prevent relapse of disease in these patients. Immunotherapy using the host immune system to combat leukemia represents an exciting and potentially efficacious addition to standard chemotherapy f...
