Recombinant immunotoxins (RIT) are targeted anticancer agents that are composed of a targeting antibody fragment and a protein toxin fragment. SS1P is a RIT that targets mesothelin on the surface of cancer cells and is being evaluated in patients with mesothelioma. Mesothelin, like many other target antigens, is shed from the cell surface. However, whether antigen shedding positively or negatively affects the delivery of RIT remains unknown. In this study, we used experimental data with SS1P to develop a mathematical model that describes the relationship between tumor volume changes and the dose level of the administered RIT, while accounting for the potential effects of antigen shedding.
重组免疫毒素(RIT)是一种靶向抗癌药物,由靶向抗体片段和蛋白毒素片段组成。SS1P 是一种针对癌细胞表面间皮素的 RIT,正在间皮瘤患者中进行评估。间皮素与许多其他靶抗原一样,从细胞表面脱落。然而,抗原脱落是正面还是负面影响 RIT 的递送尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们使用 SS1P 的实验数据开发了一个数学模型,该模型描述了肿瘤体积变化与给予的 RIT 剂量水平之间的关系,同时考虑了抗原脱落的潜在影响。
