Background: Globo H is a carbohydrate antigen that is highly expressed on the cell surface of epithelial cancers but not in normal tissue, and has been reported to correlate with poor prognosis. An attractive therapeutic target, Globo H-targeted agents are being tested in early clinical trials (e.g., OBI-833, a Globo H antigen conjugated to a mutated diphtheria toxin with potential antineoplastic activities, and OBI-999, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a Globo H monoclonal antibody with a synthetic antineoplastic agent). We aim to describe the molecular features associated with Globo H expression in CRC.
