Tarextumab and Chemotherapy in Allograft Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NOD/SCID mice implanted with OMP-LU66 or TKO allografts were randomized and treated with a control antibody or tarextumab (OMP-59R5, 40mg/kg, Q2W) as a single agent or in combination with the chemotherapy agents carboplatin (25 mg/kg, QW, Teva) and irinotecan (25 mg/kg, QW, Pfizer). We used carboplatin and irinotecan (instead of cisplatin and etoposide) for these longer term studies as they are less toxic, better tolerated by the mice, and have been shown to have similar efficacies as cisplatin and etoposide36 (link),37 (link). To avoid the side effects of total Notch pathway inhibition in vivo38 (link),39 (link), we sought to reduce Notch signaling with the Notch2/3 antagonist tarextumab. After approximately four cycles, chemotherapy was discontinued and tarextumab dosing was continued until study completion. Mice with tumor volumes at or exceeding the 2500mm3 (link) limit permitted by the IACUC were sacrificed regardless of timepoint.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
