Popis: Apolizumab (Hu1D10), a humanized monoclonal anti- Human leukocyte antigen -DR beta-chain antibody, mediates apoptosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells in vitro. We conducted a phase I/II dose-escalation study of thrice-weekly apolizumab (1.5, 3.0, 5.0 mg/kg/dose) for 4 weeks in relapsed CLL. Two of six patients at 5.0 mg/kg/dose developed treatment-related dose-limiting toxicity (aseptic meningitis, hemolytic uremia). Other toxicities included infusion toxicity, urticaria, and headache. Eleven patients were enrolled in a phase I/II expansion to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 3.0 mg/kg/dose. In total, 23 patients were enrolled (22 CLL, 1 ALL). Nineteen patients with CLL were treated at or above the MTD. One partial response was observed, and three patients had stable disease exceeding 6 months. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated a dose-dependent C(max) increase and serum antibody accumulation after week 1 of therapy. Given the toxicity and lack of efficacy in this and other trials in lymphoma and solid tumors, further development of apolizumab was discontinued.
