Specific Targeting, Biodistribution, and Lack of Immunogenicity of Chimeric Anti-GD3 Monoclonal Antibody KM871 in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma: Results of a Phase I Trial

Abstract

This study is the first to demonstrate the biodistribution and specific targeting of an anti-GD3 antibody to metastatic melanoma in patients. The long half-life and lack of immunogenicity of KM871 makes this antibody an attractive potential therapy for patients with metastatic melanoma.
