How Girentuximab works
Mechanism of action of girentuximab is antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). As a monotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinomas(RCC), girentuximab demonstrated minimal clinical activity with a 3% partial response rate and a median survival of 16 months. In vitro data suggest that the number of activated ADCC effector cells can be upregulated by low dose interleukin 2 (IL2) administered in a pulsatile fashion.
