A Clinically Proven Therapeutic Treatment and Diagnostic Tool for Mesothelin Expressing Cancers: A Novel Recombinant Immunotoxin SS1P (anti-mesothelin dsFv–PE38) Description of Technology: Mesothelin is a glycoprotein, whose expression has been largely restricted to mesothelial cells in normal tissues. Mesothelin has been shown to be expressed in several cancers including mesothelioma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancers, gastric cancers and ovarian cancers, and has the potential of being used as a novel target for the development of new treatments. The technology relates to the SSIP immunotoxin that can be used to kill cells expressing mesothelin on their surfaces, such as mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and stomach cancer. Additionally, it can be used for the detection of mesothelin expressing cells present in a biological sample. The SSIP immunotoxin is a recombinant immunotoxin generated by the fusion of a high affinity antimesothelin Fv (SS1) with a 38 kDa portion of Pseudomonas Exotoxin A (PE38). Applications: SS1P can be used as a therapy for mesothelin expressing cancers. The immunotoxin can be used as a stand alone treatment and in combination with standard chemotherapy. Advantage: SS1P immunotoxin is available for use and has been successfully tested clinically for the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:27 Nov 29, 2007 Jkt 214001 treatment of mesothelioma and ovarian cancer with low side effects. Development Status: Phase 1 studies have been completed for mesothelin expressing cancers such as mesothelioma, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. Phase 2 studies to begin shortly for combination therapy using SS1P and standard chemotherapy. Inventors: Ira Pastan (NCI) et al. Relevant Publications: 1. R Hassan et al.
