Demcizumab  (Synonyms: OMP 21M18; Human Anti-TNFRSF10B Recombinant Antibody)

Demcizumab (OMP 21M18) is an anti-DLL4 monoclonal antibody. Demcizumab is a potent inhibitor of the Notch pathway. Demcizumab alone or in combination with chemotherapy is effective in various cancer models^[1][2][3].

DLL4^[1]

Demcizumab (0-100 μg/mL) binds to human DLL4 but not murine DLL4, and blocks DLL4 binding to Notch1 receptor in a FACS-binding assay^[3].
Demcizumab (20 μg/mL, 48 h) reduces HES1 and DTX1 mRNA expression in PDTALL cells^[4].
Demcizumab (0-80 μg/mL, 1 or 2 or 3 days) promotes cell death and early apoptosis in PDTALL13 cells^[4].

Demcizumab (10 mg/kg, i.p., once a week) together with Irinotecan (7.5 mg/kg) show a significant antitumor effect in KRAS^WT and KRAS^MT CRC xenografts^[2].
Demcizumab is efficacious alone or in combination with Irinotecan (7.5 mg/kg) in OMP-C8 colon tumors^[3].
Demcizumab (20 mg/kg/week, i.p.) increases mice survival in irradiated NRG mice injected PDTALL13 cells^[4].
