Popis: PurposePatients with cancer receiving tumor-reactive humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy can develop a human antihuman antibody (HAHA) response against the therapeutic mAb. We evaluated for HAHA in patients with neuroblastoma treated in a phase I study of humanized anti-GD2 mAb (immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 isotype), hu14.18K322A (NCT00743496). The pretreatment sera (collected prior to mAb treatment) from 9 of 38 patients contained antitherapeutic antibodies, even though they had no prior mAb exposure. We sought to characterize these pre-existing antitherapeutic antibodies (PATA).Experimental designThe PATA+ pretreatment samples were characterized via ELISA; clinical associations with PATA status were evaluated.ResultsPretreatment sera from eight of nine PATA+ patients also bound rituximab and demonstrated preferential ELISA reactivity against the Fc portions of hu14.18K322A and rituximab as compared with the Fab portions of these mAbs. These PATA+ sera also recognized dinutuximab (human IgG1 isotype) and mouse IgG2a isotype mAbs, but not a mouse IgG1 isotype or the fully human panitumumab (IgG2 isotype) mAb. Of the 38 treated patients, only 4 patients (all in the PATA+ cohort) demonstrated no disease progression for>2.5 years without receiving further therapy (p=0.002).ConclusionsThis study demonstrates an association between clinical outcome and the presence of PATA against determinant(s) on the Fc component of the therapeutic mAb, suggesting that the PATA may be playing a role in augmenting mAb-based antitumor effects. Further analyses for the presence of PATA in a larger cohort of patients with relapsed neuroblastoma, analyses of their clinical correlates, identification of their immunological targets, and potential antitumor mechanisms are warranted.
