Abstrakt: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells express and secrete gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) which binds to receptors and stimulates growth of these cells. A murine monoclonal antibody, 2A11, which binds GRP with high affinity, decreased growth of SCLC cells in vitroand in athymic nude mice. A phase 1 trial and pharmacokinetic modeling in patients with lung cancer has defined the phase 2 dose of 2A11 but the antitumor activity in patients is unknown.
