Publication number: 20190117770Abstract: Disclosed is a method and composition for treating a disease associated with target cells expressing CD138 in a multiple dose regimen. An immunoconjugate comprising an engineered targeting antibody targeting CD138 expressing cells and an effector molecule is administered in a multiple dose regimen. The multiple dose regimen comprises at least two doses and the aggregate dose administered within an active treatment cycle is an aggregate maximum tolerable dose (AMTD) or a fraction of the AMTD. The AMTD and/or said fraction exceeds the dose resulting in dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and/or exceeds the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) when the immunoconjugate is administered as a single dose, including as part of a multiple single dose regimen within said active treatment cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicants: Biotest AG, ImmunoGen, Inc.Inventors: Gregor Schulz, Frank Osterroth, Thomas Haeder, Christoph Bruecher, Gabriele Niemann, Andre Engling, Christoph Uherek, Benjamin Daelken, Andrea Wartenberg-Demand, Chantal Zuber, Marcus Gutscher, Katrin Bernoester, Martin Koenig
