A summary of the properties of CGP 51901 is shown in Table 3. On the basis of its binding to IgE and IgE-secreting cells and its activity in vitro and in vivo, CGP 51901 is expected to be able to decrease serum IgE by direct clearance of IgE and by reduction of the numbers and productivity of IgE-secreting cells. The end result of reduction of IgE in the circulation and on mast cells is expected to be the attenuation of IgE-mediated reactions and the improvement in allergy symptoms. The effective serum concentration of CGP 51901 is expected to be in the range 1-10 micrograms/ml. Because CGP 51901 is an antibody specific for IgE, it is expected to be highly selective in its activity. Because IgE does not appear to be essential and because CGP 51901 has been rigorously tested to confirm its non-anaphylactic nature, this treatment is not expected to have any adverse effects. Therefore, CGP 51901 is expected to be safe and to have a good probability of being effective when it is tested in human clinical trials.
