METHOD FOR TREATING ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA USING VENETOCLAX IN CONJUNCTION WITH LINTUZUMAB-AC225
Provided are methods for treating acute myeloid leukemia that include administering a regimen of venetoclax and lintuzumab-Ac225, in which (a) the regimen includes a plurality of cycles, each cycle lasting from 28 to 60 days, (b) the regimen includes (i) orally administering venetoclax on days 1 and 2 of the first cycle at a ramp-up dosage, and thereafter orally administering 400 mg of venetoclax daily on days 3-21 of the first cycle and days 1-21 of each subsequent cycle, and (ii) intravenously administering lintuzumab-Ac225 on day 4, 5, 6 or 7 of each cycle at a dose of from 0.1 ?Ci/kg to 2.0 ?Ci/kg, and (c) the subject has a peripheral blast burden at or below 1,000 blast cells/?l. Also provided are related methods in which the regimen includes intravenously administering lintuzumab-Ac225 twice during each cycle.
HUMANIZED ANTI-CD45 ANTIBODIES
Provided are humanized anti-human CD45 antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions including the antibodies.
Methods for treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes
Methods for treating a proliferative disease in hematologic malignancy in a subject having a complex karyotype by administering an effective amount of an immunotherapy which includes a targeting agent for an epitope of CD33. The proliferative disease may be a hematological disease or disorder such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myeloproliferative neoplasm. The effective amount of the anti-CD33 targeting agent may be an amount sufficient to induce myeloconditioning or an amount to induce myeloablation. The methods may further include transplanting allogeneic stem cells to the patient after administration of the anti-CD33 targeting agent.
Humanized anti-CD22 antibody
Disclosed are humanized RFB4 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. therapy of B-cell associated diseases, such as B-cell malignancies, autoimmune disease and immune dysfunction disease. Preferably, hRFB4 comprises the light and heavy chain RFB4 CDR sequences with human antibody FR and constant region sequences, along with heavy chain framework region (FR) amino acid residues Q1, F27, V48, A49, F68, R98, T117 and light chain residues L4, S22, K39, G100, V104, and K107. More preferably, the heavy and light chain variable region sequences of hRFB4 comprise SEQ ID NO:7 and SEQ ID NO:8, respectively. In certain embodiments, trogocytosis (antigen shaving) induced by hRFB4 plays a significant role in determining antibody efficacy and disease responsiveness for treatment of B-cell diseases, such as hematopoietic cancers, immune system dysfunction and/or autoimmune disease.
Method for treating cancer using a BCL-2 inhibitor in conjunction with an alpha- emitting radioimmunotherapeutic
This invention provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with cancer, comprising administering to the subject (i) a BCL-2 inhibitor in conjunction with (ii) an alpha-emitting isotope-labeled agent that targets cancer cells in the subject, wherein the amounts of the BCL-2 inhibitor and labeled agent, when administered in conjunction with one another, are therapeutically effective. This invention also provides a method for inducing the death of a cancer cell, comprising contacting the cell with (i) a BCL-2 inhibitor in conjunction with (ii) an alpha-emitting isotope-labeled agent that targets the cancer cell, wherein the amounts of BCL-2 inhibitor and labeled agent, when concurrently contacted with the cell, are effective to induce the cell's death.
ANTI-CLL-1 ANTIBODIES AND IMMUNOCONJUGATES
The invention provides anti-CLL-1 antibodies and immunoconjugates and methods of using the same.
ANTI-CLL-1 ANTIBODIES AND IMMUNOCONJUGATES
The invention provides anti-CLL-1 antibodies and immunoconjugates and methods of using the same.
RADIO-LABELLED ANTIBODY FRAGMENTS FOR USE IN THE PROGNOSIS, DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER AS WELL AS FOR THE PREDICTION OF CANCER THERAPY RESPONSE
The application provides polypeptides comprising or essentially consisting of at least one heavy chain variable domain of a heavy chain antibody (V.sub.HH) or a functional fragment thereof, wherein said V.sub.HH or a functional fragment thereof specifically binds to a target protein that is present on and/or specific for a solid tumor, e.g. HER2. The application further provides nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides; methods for preparing such polypeptides; host cells expressing or capable of expressing such polypeptides; compositions, and in particular to pharmaceutical compositions, that comprise such polypeptides, nucleic acids and/or host cells. The application further provides such polypeptides, nucleic acids, host cells and/or compositions, for use in methods for detection, imaging, prognosis and diagnosis of cancer as well as for predicting patient response(s) to therapeutics.
Antibody method for treatment of a disease in which the target cells are cells which express CD20
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody method directed against CD20 antigen including administration of an anti CD20 antibody wherein each of the light chains thereof has the murine-human chimeric amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 28, and each of the heavy chains thereof has the murine-human chimeric amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 20.
METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES
Methods for treating a proliferative disease in hematologic malignancy in a subject having a complex karyotype by administering an effective amount of an immunotherapy which includes a targeting agent for an epitope of CD33. The proliferative disease may be a hematological disease or disorder such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myeloproliferative neoplasm. The effective amount of the anti-CD33 targeting agent may be an amount sufficient to induce myeloconditioning or an amount to induce myeloablation. The methods may further include transplanting allogeneic stem cells to the patient after administration of the anti-CD33 targeting agent.
