Despite multimodal therapy, the prognosis of patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma (ES) remains poor, with new treatments urgently needed. The disialoganglioside GD2, a well-established tumor-associated antigen, is expressed in 40% to 90% of ES cells, making it a suitable therapeutic target. Here we report 3 cases with newly diagnosed, metastatic, GD2-positive ES or Ewing-like sarcoma treated with the anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab beta in addition to standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Treatment was well-tolerated, and all patients achieved complete remission, without evidence of relapse. First-line anti-GD2 immunotherapy in patients with metastatic, GD2-positive ES or Ewing-like sarcoma represents a promising therapeutic option that warrants further clinical evaluation.
尽管采用了多模式治疗,但转移性尤文肉瘤(ES)患者的预后仍然不佳,迫切需要新的治疗方法。神经节苷脂 GD2 是一种已确立的肿瘤相关抗原,在 40% 至 90%的 ES 细胞中表达,使其成为一个合适的治疗靶点。本研究报道了 3 例新诊断的转移性 GD2 阳性 ES 或尤文样肉瘤患者,在标准化疗方案的基础上,联合抗 GD2 抗体吉妥珠单抗治疗。治疗耐受良好,所有患者均达到完全缓解,无复发迹象。对于转移性 GD2 阳性 ES 或尤文样肉瘤患者,一线抗 GD2 免疫治疗是一种很有前途的治疗选择,值得进一步的临床评估。
