Robatumumab (Sch 717454) is an anti-human IGF-1R (insulin-like growth factor receptor-1) antibody. Robatumumab shows anti-tumor activity and anti-proliferative activity to cancer cells. Robatumumab can be used in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma research[2].In Vitro: Robatumumab (0.02-80 nM; 0.5 or 4 h) downregulates IGF-IR and inhibits both basal and IGF-I-induced phosphorylation of IGF-IR and IRS-1 in SK-N-FI cells[2].In Vivo: Robatumumab (intravenous injection; 0.04 or 0.1 mg/mouse; twice weekly; 18 d) inhibits the SK-N-FI tumor growth in xenograft model[2].
Robatumumab (intravenous injection; 0.02-0.5 mg/mouse; twice weekly; 35 d) inhibits the osteosarcoma growth in xenograft model[2].
Robatumumab (intravenous injection; 0.1 or 0.5 mg/mouse; twice weekly; 14 d) inhibits the SJCRH30 and RD rhabdomyosarcoma cell growth in xenograft model[2].
Robatumumab (intravenous injection; 0.1 or 0.5 mg/mouse; twice weekly; 2 w) blocks effectively pediatric tumor cell proliferation in vivo[2].
Robatumumab (intravenous injection; 0.5 mg/mouse; once; day 11 post-inoculation) modulates the blood vessel formation via its antiangiogenesis effect[2].
