Immunotoxins could improve outcome in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) by targeting tumor cells that are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. N901 is a murine monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD56 (neural cell adhesion molecule [NCAM]) antigen found on cells of neuroendocrine origin, including SCLC. N901-bR is an immunoconjugate of N901 antibody with blocked ricin (bR) as the cytotoxic effector moiety. N901-bR has more than 700-fold greater selectivity in vitro for killing the CD56+ SCLC cell line SW-2 than for an antigen-negative lymphoma cell line. Preclinical studies suggested the potential for clinically significant cardiac and neurologic toxicity. We present a phase I study of N901-bR in relapsed SCLC.
