ABSTRACT
The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and its ligands (IGF-I and IGF-II) have been implicated in the growth, survival, and metastasis of a broad range of malignancies including pediatric tumors. Blocking the IGF-IR action is a potential cancer treatment. A fully human neutralizing monoclonal antibody, SCH 717454 (19D12, robatumumab), specific to IGF-IR, has shown potent antitumor effects in ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo. In this study, SCH 717454 was evaluated in several pediatric solid tumors including neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. SCH 717454 is shown here to downregulate IGF-IR as well as inhibit IGF-IR and insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylation in pediatric tumor cells. IGF-IR and insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylation in the tumor cells. In vivo, SCH 717454 exhibits activity as a single agent and significantly inhibited growth of neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma tumor xenografts. Combination of SCH 717454 with cisplatin or cyclophosphamide enhanced both the degree and the duration of the in vivo antitumor activity compared with single-agent treatments. Furthermore, SCH 717454 treatment markedly reduced Ki-67 expression and blood vessel formation in tumor xenografts, showing that the in vivo activity is derived from its inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis activity.
