Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A purified, natural saponin isolated from the soapbark tree Quillaja saponaria Molina with potential immunoadjuvant activity. When co-administered with a vaccine, OBI-821 may increase antibody and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses against the vaccine's targeted antigen(s).

Obi-821 has been investigated in 4 clinical trials, of which 3 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating obi-821, 1 is phase 1 (0 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), 1 is phase 2 (1 open), and 1 is phase 3 (1 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and Globo H are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for obi-821 clinical trials.

Neuroblastoma, breast carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in obi-821 clinical trials [2].
