The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling pathway is a complex and tightly regulated network which is critical for cell proliferation, growth, and survival. IGF-1R is a potential therapeutic target for patients with many different malignancies. This brief review summarizes the results of clinical trials targeting the IGF-1R pathway in patients with breast cancer, sarcoma, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therapeutic agents discussed include both monoclonal antibodies to IGF-1R (dalotuzumab, figitumumab, cixutumumab, ganitumab, R1507, AVE1642) and newer IGF-1R pathway targeting strategies including monoclonal antibodies to IGF-1 and IGF-2 (MEDI-573 and BI 836845) and a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of IGF-1R (OSI-906). The pullback of trials in patients with breast cancer and NSCLC based on several large negative trials is noted and contrasted with the sustained success of IGF-1R inhibitor monotherapy in a subset of patients with sarcoma. Several different biomarkers have been examined in these trials with varying levels of success, including tumor expression of IGF-1R and its pathway components, serum IGF ligand levels, alternate pathway activation, and specific molecular signatures of IGF-1R pathway dependence. However, there remains a critical need to define predictive biomarkers in order to identify patients who may benefit from IGF-1R directed therapies. Ongoing research focuses on uncovering such biomarkers and elucidating mechanisms of resistance, as this therapeutic target is currently being analyzed from the bedside to bench.
