Thus, monoclonal antibodies to GPC3 (and corresponding immunotoxins) represent a novel therapeutic candidate for treatment of HCC, as well as other cancers associated with the differential expression of GPC3. Potential Commercial Applications: • Therapeutic antibodies against cancers that overexpress GPC3. • Therapeutic immunotoxins or antibody-drug conjugates for killing cancer cells that overexpress GPC3. • Diagnostics for detecting cancers associated with GPC3 overexpression. • Specific cancers include hepatocellular cancer (HCC), melanoma, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, lung squamous cell carcinoma, Wilms’ tumor, neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and testicular germ-cell tumors. Competitive Advantages: • Monoclonal antibodies create a level of specificity that can reduce deleterious side-effects. • Multiple treatment strategies available including the killing of cancer cells with a toxic agent or by inhibiting cell signaling. • Non-invasive and potentially nonliver toxic alternative to current HCC treatment strategies. Development Stage: • Pre-clinical. • In vitro data available. • In vivo data available (animal). Inventors: Mitchell Ho (NCI) et al. Publications: 1. Feng M, et al.
