VB6-845d tumor cell killing elicits biologic features of immunogenic cell death (AACR 2018) - "In summary, the data presented suggests that VB6-845d mediates tumor cell killing by an ICD pathway. The potential cross-priming effect initiated by VB6-845d-induced ICD suggests the use of VB6-845d in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors may enhance their effectiveness in EpCAM-positive epithelial cancers."

Antibody based EpCAM targeted Therapy of Cancer, Review and update. (PubMed, Curr Cancer Drug Targets) - "The wholly human monoclonal antibody Adecatumumab is dose- and target-dependent in metastatic breast cancer patients expressing EpCAM. The chimeric antibody, Catumaxomab, has been approved for the treatment of malignant ascites; however, this Mab showed considerable results in intrapleural administration in cancer patients. Anti EpCAM toxin conjugated antibodies Oportuzumab Monatox (scFv antibody and Pseudomonas exotoxin A (ETA)) and Citatuzumab Bogatox (Fab fragment with bouganin toxin) and also, immono-conjugate antibody Tucotuzumab (wholly monoclonal antibody with IL2), shown acceptable results in different clinical trials. Almost, all of the antibodies were well- tolerated; however, still more clinical trials are needed for approval of the antibodies for treatment of specific tumors."
