The first-in-class anti-CD27 antibody varlilumab demonstrated clinical activity among and was well-tolerated by patients with solid tumors, according to a study published in the Journal of Clínical Oncology.
Varlilumab is being evaluated in an open-label, phase 1, dose-escalation trial among patients with solid and hematologic tumors. This analysis includes patients with solid tumors including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hormone-refractory prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), and non–small cell lung cancer.
The study enrolled 56 patients with stage IV disease; 25 participated in the dose escalation and 16 patients with RCC or melanoma were enrolled in expansion cohorts. The dose escalation phase evaluated 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 10 mg/kg of varlilumab given over 90 min without prophylactic premedication.
