Edrecolomab (MAb17-1A, trade namePanorex) is a mouse-derivedmonoclonal antibody targeting the cell-surfaceglycoproteinEpCAM (17-1A), which is expressed onepithelial tissues and on variouscarcinomas.
Preliminary studies had shown promise of a possible use in patients with stage IIIcolorectal carcinoma (withmetastasis to thelymph nodes).[1][2] No effect has been demonstrated for stage II (locally advanced cancer without spread to the lymph nodes) colon cancer.[3]
Edrecolomab was well tolerated in these studies and as such research has now concentrated on whether it can be of any use in other forms of cancer.
