The antitumor activity of CS-1008, a humanized agonistic anti-human death receptor (DR) 5 antibody, was investigated in preclinical models. Materials and methods: Cytotoxicity of CS-1008 was evaluated in a several human tumor cell lines as well as primary human hepatocytes in vitro. To evaluate antitumor efficacy, athymic nude mice were inoculated with human colorectal tumor COLO 205, pancreatic tumor MIA PaCa-2 or non-small-cell lung carcinoma NCI-H2122 and CS-1008 was i.v. administered. The combination effects of CS-1008 with gemcitabine or docetaxel (Taxotere) against MIA PaCa-2 or NCI-H2122 were evaluated in vivo, respectively.
