  • Publication number: 20240148873
    Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic immunoconjugates comprising SN-38 attached to an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. In preferred embodiments, the antibody may be an hRS7 antibody. The methods and compostions are of use to treat Trop-2 expressing cancers in human patients, preferably in patients who are resistant to or relapsed from at least one prior anti-cancer therapy, more preferably in patients who are resistant to or relapsed from treatment with irinotecan. The immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of 3 mg/kg to 18 mg/kg, preferably 8 to 12 mg/kg, more preferably 8 to 10 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the immunoconjugate can reduce solid tumors in size and reduce or eliminate metastases.

  • Publication number: 20230233694
    Abstract: The present invention concerns improved methods and compositions for preparing SN-38 conjugates of proteins or peptides, preferably immunoconjugates of antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments. More preferably, the SN-38 is attached to the antibody or antibody fragment using a CL2A linker, with 1-12, more preferably 6-8, alternatively 1-5 SN-38 moieties per antibody or antibody fragment. Most preferably, the immunoconjugate is prepared in large scale batches, with various modifications to the reaction scheme disclosed herein to optimize yield and recovery in large scale. Other embodiments concern optimized dosages and/or schedules of administration of immunoconjugate to maximize efficacy for disease treatment and minimize side effects of administration.

  • Patent number: 11541047
    Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic immunoconjugates comprising SN-38 attached to an antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. The antibody may bind to EGP-1 (TROP-2), CEACAM5, CEACAM6, CD74, CD19, CD20, CD22, CSAp, HLA-DR, AFP or MUC5ac and the immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 24 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the immunoconjugate can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

  • Publication number: 20210395385
    Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic ADCs comprising SN-38 attached to an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment, more particularly sacituzumab govitecan. The ADC is administered to a subject with a Trop-2 positive cancer that is resistant to or relapsed from prior treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor. The therapy is effective to treat cancers that are resistant to checkpoint inhibitors.
