Table 2.

Comparison of murine, chimeric, and humanized mAbs. Current clinical trials of anti-GD2 mAbs.

Murine Chimeric Humanized
Structure 3F8 and 14.18 from murine IgG3

14G2a: IgG2a-class switch variant from 14.18

ME36.1: IgG2a- and IgG1-switch variant from murine IgG3
ch14.18: fusing heavy and light chains of 14.18

Dinutuximab generated by SP2.0 cells

Dinutuximab β generated by CHO cells
hu14.18K322A: single amino acid substitution in the Fc region of K322A (humanized dinutuximab)
generated by YB2.0 cells

hu3F8: fusion of complementarity-determining regions with the human IgG1 framework (naxitamab)
Binding affinity to the GD2 target 3F8 has higher affinity than ME36.1 and 14.G2a ch14.18 and 14.G2a exhibit equal affinity hu3F8 has a 10-fold higher affinity than ch14.18
m3F8 > hu3F8 > ch14.18
ADCC
CDC
14.G2a has higher ADCC than 14.18

3F8 has higher CDC than ch14.18
ch14.18 and 14.G2a are equally capable of mediation of CDC

ch14.18 has a 50-100 fold higher ADCC than 14.G2a

Dinutuximab β has higher ADCC than dinutuximab
mAbs generated by YB2/0 cells have higher ADCC than mAbs generated by CHO cells

K322A mutation led to decreased CDC

hu3F8 has higher ADCC (not CDC) than ch14.18
hu3F8 > ch14.18 > m3F8
m3F8 > ch14.18 > hu3F8
Features and therapy ME36.1: cross reaction with GD2 and GD3

3F8 and 14.G2a widely used as monotherapy
Less immunogenic than murine mAbs

ch14.18 has a longer half-life than hu3F8

2 drugs officially approved

Long-term results comparable to oral chemotherapy
Less immunogenic than chimeric mAbs

hu14.18K322A was developed to reduce neuropathic toxicity and pain

hu3F8 has significant antitumor efficacy

Naxitamab officially approved
Limitations and adverse effects HAMA

Most common adverse effects include allodynia, pain, hypertension, hypotension, apnea, tachycardia, fever, allergic reaction

Treatment with 14G2a caused severe pain, with 3F8 caused reversible encephalopathy syndrome

Less common adverse effects include hyponatremia/kalemia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver dysfunction, hypoxia
HACA

Adverse effects comparable to murine mAbs

Dinutuximab/beta treatment resulted in demyelinating polyneuropathy, and ocular signs present with ophthalmoplegia, mydriasis, and accommodation deficit

Continuous infusion can only reduce pain intensity
HAHA

hu14.18K322A has a higher HAHA response rate compared to hu3F8

Moderate adverse effects

Treatment can be carried out on an outpatient basis
Treatment mAbs with IL-2 associated with capillary leak syndrome
