Disclosed is a method of inhibiting the growth of tumors bearing IL 13- specific receptors. Included among this class of tumors is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a rapidly progressing brain tumor for which there is currently no effective treatment available. In the disclosed method, a chimeric cytotoxin comprising an IL 13 receptor-binding moiety and a cytotoxic moiety is delivered into a mammalian subject having a tumor bearing IL13- specific receptors. All studied human GBM specimens abundantly express the IL13-specific tumor.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour inhiber la croissance des tumeurs comportant des récepteurs spécifiques aux IL-13. Dans cette classe des tumeurs on inclut le glioblastome multiforme (GBM), une tumeur du cerveau à évolution rapide contre laquelle il n'existe pas de traitement à l'heure actuelle. Selon le procédé de l'invention, une cytotoxine chimère comprenant un groupe fonctionnel liant le récepteur des IL-13 et un groupe fonctionnel cytotoxique sont administrés à un sujet mammalien souffrant d'une tumeur comportant des récepteurs spécifiques aux IL-13. Tout les spécimens humains étudiés présentant un GBM expriment en abondance la tumeur spécifique aux IL-13.
