CD22 antibodies (Abs) bound to B-cell lymphomas are known to be internalized and catabolized rapidly. Therefore, it would be expected that use of CD22 as a target for radioimmunotherapy should be enhanced by the use of "residualizing" radiolabels, which are trapped within the cell after catabolism o

β¦ Synopsis
Preliminary clinical trials suggest that iodine-131 ( 131 I)labeled anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are effective single agents for the treatment of relapsed non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphomas. However, despite high initial response rates, most patients treated in this manner will eventually relapse. We hypothesized that regimens combining 131 I-anti-CD20 antibodies with standard chemotherapeutic agents may provide synergistic anti-tumor effects, and may improve the durability of responses in patients with lymphoma. To identify promising agents for clinical testing, we assessed the in vitro cytotoxicity of combinations of 131 I-anti-B1 (anti-CD20) antibody and 8 chemotherapeutic agents using 2 human CD20-expressing lymphoma cell lines and 2 corroborative assays, the thiazolyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and the Trypan blue dye exclusion assays. ID 50 isobolographic and dose modification factor (DMF) analyses were used to classify interactions between the 131 I-anti-B1 antibody and the chemotherapeutic agents as supra-additive (synergistic), additive or sub-additive. Cytarabine and fludarabine were markedly supra-additive when combined with the radioimmunoconjugate, with the combination enhancing cytotoxicity 3.5-to 5.2-fold over the level expected by simple addition of the 2 agents (DMFs 3.5-5.2). Etoposide, doxorubicin and SN-38 were moderately supra-additive (DMFs 2.0-2.8). Cisplatin and 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide exhibited merely additive cytotoxicity (DMFs 1.0-1.1). Thus, combination regimens containing 131 I-labeled anti-CD20 antibodies and nucleoside analogs or topoisomerase inhibitors appear particularly attractive for future clinical trials.
