Korjuny: animal efficacy model or human cells?

catumaxomab · EpCAM x CD3
Efficacy evidence
SCID mouse i.p. human ovarian carcinoma ascites xenograft treated with human PBMCs plus catumaxomab
“In vivo pharmacology of catumaxomab was investigated in a xenograft model of malignant ascites in immuno-deficient SCID mice. Mice received a human ovarian carcinoma xenograft i.p. and were treated one day later with human PBMCs (i.p.) together with a single i.p. injection of catumaxomab.”

Why that model
Catumaxomab does not react with murine CD3, so surrogate BiLu was used for syngeneic proof of concept
“Due to the lack of catumaxomab reactivity with murine CD3, the variant antibody BiLu (anti-human EpCAM & anti-mouse CD3) was used to demonstrate proof of concept in syngeneic mouse tumour models expressing human EpCAM.”

Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA accepted a programme based on in vitro studies plus tailored in vivo work with catumaxomab and partially active surrogate BiLu
“Therefore, the non￾clinical programme is based on in vitro studies and a tailored in vivo programme with catumaxomab and a surrogate mAb BiLu, that is cross-reactive with CD3 and therefore partially active in mice. This is accepted.”
