  • Publication number: 20220380476
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel use and methods comprising antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, which bind to a CCR7 receptor for use as a novel combination therapy with a BTK inhibitor and/or a Bcl-2 inhibitor in treatment of hyperproliferative blood malignancies, preferably in B-cell lymphomas, such as CLL. The combination can be used as first line, or in naïve patients not treated before with a BTK inhibitor and/or Bcl-2 inhibitor, or in patients with a BTK-inhibitor and/or Bcl-2-inhibitor refractory/relapsed disease. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are capable of selectively depleting ex vivo or in vitro malignant cells expressing CCR7 and are capable of impairing/blocking migration of said tumor cells towards CCR7 ligands. These effects are not related to previous or contemporary treatments with a BTK inhibitor and/or a Bcl-2 inhibitor. Similarly, the efficacy of the antibodies is not affected in patients that have relapsed/refractory disease.

  • Publication number: 20220064311
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel use and methods comprising antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, which bind to a CCR7 receptor for use as a novel therapeutic agent in prevention and/or treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD), preferably in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), more preferably allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. GVHD of the invention can be acute (aGVHD) and/or chronic (cGVHD), preferably acute. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are capable of selectively depleting ex vivo or in vitro immune cells expressing CCR7 and are capable in vivo of selectively killing immune cells expressing a CCR7 receptor and of impairing/blocking migration and of activation of said immune cells, which are involved in the development and evolution of GVHD.
