ABSTRACT A monoclonal antibody (BPL-M23) to insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was obtained following immunization of BALB/c mice with human IGF-I conjugated to ovalbumin. The affinity constant of BPL-M23 for IGF-I was 10·5 litres/nmol and the cross-reactivities of IGF-II, multiplication-stimulating activity III-2 and insulin were 08, 003 and less than 0·0001 % respectively. Porcine, bovine, ovine and rabbit sera, but not rat or mouse sera, showed substantial reactivity with the antibody. Comparison of radioimmunoassay analyses of 54 human serum samples from normal subjects and acromegalic and GH-deficient patients using BPL-M23 and a polyclonal rabbit antiserum (R557A) to human IGF-I showed a high correlation, indicating the usefulness of the monoclonal antibody in radioimmunoassay. Monoclonal antibody BPL-M23 was capable of abolishing the sulphation, mitogenic and insulin-like activities of IGF-I in in-vitro bioassays, suggesting that these activities may rely upon the same receptor-binding site which is near to the antibody-binding site.

Hybrid insulin/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors have previously been described in human placenta, but it has not been possible to study their properties in the presence of classical insulin receptors and type I IGF receptors. To facilitate the purification of hybrids, we produced an anti-peptide monoclonal antibody IGFR 1-2, directed against the C-terminal peptide of the type I IGF receptor beta-subunit. The antibody bound native human and rat type I IGF receptors, and reacted specifically with the beta-subunit on immunoblots. Solubilized placental microsomal membranes were depleted of classical type I IGF receptors by incubation with an immobilized monoclonal antibody IGFR 24-55, which reacts well with type I receptors but very poorly with hybrid receptors. Residual hybrid receptors were then isolated by incubation with immobilized antibody IGFR 1-2, and recovered by elution with excess of synthetic peptide antigen. Binding properties of hybrids were compared with those of immuno-affinity-purified insulin receptors and type I IGF receptors, by using the radioligands 125I-IGF-I and 125I-insulin. Hybrids bound approx. 20 times as much 125I-IGF-I as 125I-insulin at tracer concentrations (approx. 0.1 nM). The binding of 125I-insulin, but not 125I-IGF-I, to hybrids increased after treatment with dithiothreitol to reduce disulphide bonds between the alpha-subunits. Hybrids behaved very similarly to type I receptors with respect to the inhibition of 125I-IGF-I binding by unlabelled IGF-I and insulin. By contrast, the affinity of hybrids for insulin was approx. 10-fold lower than that of classical insulin receptors, as assessed by inhibition of 125I-insulin binding by unlabelled hormone. It is concluded that the properties of insulin receptors, but not IGF receptors, are markedly affected by assembly as hybrid compared with classical structures, and that hybrids are more likely to be responsive to IGF-I than insulin under physiological conditions.

3505 Background: IMC-A12 is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed against the human insulin like growth factor-I receptor. The safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IMC-A12 are being evaluated in an on-going a phase I trial. Methods: Patients (pts) with ECOG PS = 2 and advanced refractory solid tumors receive IMC-A12 weekly for 4 infusions per cycle until progression. After cycle one only, there is a two week observation period. Six cohorts of IMC-A12 are planned at 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 27mg/kg. Sampling for PK and human anti-human antibodies directed against IMC-A12 occurs before and after the first and fourth doses of each cycle. Results: Fifteen pts have been treated, 7 at 3 mg/g, 4 at 6 mg/kg, 3 at 10 mg/kg and 1 at 15 mg/kg. Data is available for the first 11 pts: 7 male, 4 female, median age 56 years (range: 45–70). Treatment related toxicities for the first 11 pts include: grade 1 pruritis, rash, discolored feces; grade 2 anemia, psoriasis, hyperglycemia, infusion-related reaction; grade 3 hyperglycemia. Four of 11 pts have stable disease: 2 at the 3 mg/kg dose remain stable for >9 months (1 male breast cancer,1 hepatocellular cancer) and 2 at the 6 mg/kg dose (1 bladder, 1 endometrial) were stable after cycle 1. One pt with prostate cancer had >25% decline in PSA and stable radiographic disease at time of study discontinuation (week 5) for DLT. Non-compartmental PK analysis reveals a mean t1/2 of 148 and 209 hrs, mean Cmax of 333 and 415 ug/mL, and mean AUC0-Inf of 51317 and 80727 hr*ug/mL at the 3 and 6 mg/kg dose levels, respectively. Target trough levels have been achieved. Conclusions: Weekly administration of IMC-A12 appears to be well tolerated and the MTD has not been reached. The PK profile is consistent with that of other Mab’s. There is early evidence of clinical activity and correlative IGF biomarker data will be available. IMC-A12 will be further evaluated in prostate, breast, and other cancers. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
