The murine IgG3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 3F8, specific for the ganglioside GD2,
activates human complement, is active in antibody-dependent cellmediated cytotoxicity
(ADCC), and can target specifically to human neuroblastoma in patients with metastatic
disease. In a phase I study, 3F8 was administered intravenously (IV) to 17 patients with
metastatic GD2 positive neuroblastoma or malignant melanoma at doses of 5, 20, 50, and
100 mg/m2. Serum 3F8 levels achieved were proportional to the dose of 3F8 infused …

Serum 3F8 levels achieved were proportional to the dose of 3F8 infused. However, serum antimouse antibody levels did not increase with the amount of 3F8 administered. Toxicities included pain, hypertension,
