A review.The use of biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of disease; as well as to guide the choice of therapeutic regimens is predicted to be one of the leading priorities in clin. practice.The sheer complexity of the human cell, including its growth and signaling pathways, has made one of the biggest challenges in the cancer field the identification and characterization of such biomarkers and their translation into informative and reproducible diagnostic/prognostic tests.The increasing amounts of data, generated by exptl. methods, challenges researchers to extract biol. applicable information.The authors, who represent academia, industry, and governmental organizations, discuss the current potential of translating cancer biomarker discoveries into suitable clin. tests.This review includes current information based on the latest patents in the cancer biomarker field relating to the different types of biomarkers (genomic, proteomics, epigenetics and microRNAs).It also describes the importance of strong intellectual property protection, current trends in patenting biomarkers, and future intellectual property strategies in the biomarker-related field.Finally, a summary of the recent relevant patents and primary barriers to the translation of new biomarkers into viable clin. diagnostic tests is presented.

Abstract 4582: Characterization of a new antibody that reacts with a tumor-specific variant of CEACAM-5 and CEACAM-6

AbstractIntroduction: h16C3 is a humanized monoclonal antibody being developed as a novel biological treatment for several types of solid tumor. By mass spectroscopy identification and target validation research, we determined that h16C3 appears to recognize a variant form of CEACAM-5 and CEACAM-6, molecules with a well-known association to cancer. Here we show the pre-clinical activities of this new mAb which shows great potential as a therapeutic agent to treat solid tumors.Methods: The 16C3 antibody was selected from hundreds of hybridoma clones generated from mice immunized with semi-purified membrane-associated proteins derived from biologically screened, pooled human allogeneic colon cancer tissues. In vitro assays and in vivo studies were performed to characterize the potential of h16C3 as a therapeutic modality for solid tumors that express the variant CEACAM antigens.Results: Here we show that unlike most modalities targeting the CEACAM molecules, h16C3 reacts with variant CEACAM-5/6 expressed specifically by human tumor tissues as follows: 98% of human colorectal tumor tissues, 80% of pancreatic tumor tissues, 76% of lung tumor tissues, 43% of uterus tumor tissues, and 29% of breast tumor tissues stained positively with h16C3. Importantly, h16C3 did not cross-react significantly with normal human tissues, except for occasional, weak binding to certain GI tract tissues, which may indicate a pre-malignant state. We showed further that the h16C3 antibody exhibits cell-specific binding and ADCC activity against human colorectal and pancreatic tumor cells, but not against antigen-negative control tumor cell lines. In vivo, the anti-tumor efficacy of h16C3 was tested using pre-established subcutaneous human tumor xenograft models. The data showed significant anti-tumor action compared to control treated mice, including some complete tumor regressions. The bio-distribution of radiolabeled h16C3 in mice with pre-established human tumors exhibited specific accumulation of h16C3 at the tumor site, with little or no binding or accumulation in several major organ systems.Conclusions: The pre-clinical studies of h16C3 to date indicate that it has significant, specific anti-tumor potency, and suggest that it may have clinical activity in cancer patients whose tumor expresses the variant CEACAM-5/6 epitope. The therapeutic humanized 16C3 antibody is being developed for testing in a Phase I clinical trial.Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Abstract 4584: Pre-clinical studies of a novel antibody to treat pancreatic and colorectal cancers

AbstractIntroduction:NPC-1C is a chimeric monoclonal antibody being developed as a novel biological treatment for pancreatic and colorectal cancers. NPC-1C appears to recognize a variant form of MUC5AC expressed specifically by human pancreatic and colorectal tumor tissues and cell lines. Here we show pre-clinical studies in preparation for testing this therapeutic for a Phase I clinical trial.Methods:The NPC-1C antibody was selected from a panel of hybridomas generated from mice immunized with semi-purified membrane-associated proteins derived from biologically screened, pooled human allogeneic colon cancer tissues. In vitro assays and in vivo studies were performed to characterize the GMP-grade antibody.Results:Here we show that NPC-1C reacts with colorectal and pancreatic tumor tissues, but does not cross-react with normal human tissues, except for occasional, weak binding to certain GI tract tissues, which may indicate a pre-malignant state. The NPC-1C antibody exhibits cell-specific binding and ADCC activity against human colorectal and pancreatic tumor cells, but not against control tumor cell lines. In vivo, the anti-tumor efficacy of NPC-1C was tested using pre-established subcutaneous human tumor xenograft models. The data showed significant, and reproducible, anti-tumor action, including some complete tumor regressions. The pre-clinical toxicity profile of NPC-1C in normal BALB/c mice demonstrated little, if any, toxicity following single or multiple intravenous injections. The bio-distribution of radiolabeled NPC-1C in mice with pre-established human tumors revealed specific accumulation of NPC-1C at the tumor site, with little or no binding or accumulation in several major organ systems. Finally, the cytokine and antibody responses to NPC-1C were studied in the pre-clinical mouse model. Although anti-NPC-1C antibodies were detected (as expected) in a time-dependent fashion, there were no changes detect in Type I and Type II cytokines either 3 days or 14 days after intravenous administration.Conclusions:The pre-clinical development of NPC-1C indicates that it is safe and efficacious, and suggests that it may have clinical activity in patients whose tumor expresses the variant MUC5AC epitope. The potential clinical application for this antibody was bolstered by showing approximately 50-70% of human pancreatic and colon tumor tissues stained positively with NPC-1C. The therapeutic antibody is now being tested in a Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced pancreatic and colorectal cancer.Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].
