Biologicals targeting EGFR and IL-13R react with over-expressed markers on cancer cells, but also react with receptor on normal cells. Since we developed novel bispecific ligand directed toxins (BLT) synthesized by cloning EGF and IL-13 on the same molecule with toxin, our objective was to determine whether we could block normal receptors while still targeting receptors over-expressed on cancer cells thereby decreasing toxicity while maintaining efficacy. A method, ToxBloc, was developed in which a bolus IP dose of recombinant EGF13 (without toxin) was given to mice about 15-20 minutes prior to DTEGF13. Experiments were then performed to determine if the MTD was reduced and whether we still were able to eliminate progression of aggressive human, metastatic, systemic pancreatic cancer induced by orthotopic injection in nude mice. ToxBloc permitted us to safely exceed the DTEGF13 MTD by 15-fold. This approach permitted repetitive high dosing with the BLT resulting in tumor regression (p<0.01). Tumor affects were documented using a tumor imaging model in which tumor growth was monitored noninvasively in real time. ToxBloc was selective since other bispecific peptides did not block. ToxBloc represents a new method of drug delivery and a potential solution to the toxicity problem.
