  • Patent number: 11439620
    Abstract: The present invention relates to combination therapy with ADCs against a tumor-associated antigen, such as Trop-2, and drugs, such as microtubule inhibitors and/or PARP inhibitors. Where ADCs are used, they preferably incorporate SN-38 or another drug that induces DNA strand breaks. Preferably, the combination of ADC and PARPi or microtubule inhibitor exhibits synergistic effects against the cancer. The combination therapy 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.

  • Patent number: 11253606
    Abstract: The present invention relates to combination therapy with drugs, such as microtubule inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, Bruton kinase inhibitors or PI3K inhibitors, with antibodies or immunoconjugates against HLA-DR or Trop-2. Where immunoconjugates are used, they preferably incorporate SN-38 or pro-2PDOX. The immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of between 1 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg, more preferably 8 or 10 mg/kg. The combination therapy 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. Preferably, the combination therapy has an additive effect on inhibiting tumor growth. Most preferably, the combination therapy has a synergistic effect on inhibiting tumor growth.

  • Publication number: 20210316003
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biomarkers of use for treating Trop-2 expressing cancer with an anti-Trop-2 ADC comprising an anti-Trop-2 antibody conjugated to an inhibitor of topoisomerase I, preferably SN-38 or DxD. The anti-Trop-2 ADC may be administered as a monotherapy or as a combination therapy with one or more anti-cancer agents, such as DDR inhibitors. Therapy with the ADC alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies. Preferably, the combination therapy has an additive effect on inhibiting tumor growth. Most preferably, the combination therapy has a synergistic effect on inhibiting tumor growth.

  • Patent number: 10988539
    Abstract: The present invention relates to combination therapy with drugs, such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors or PI3K inhibitors, with antibodies or ADCs against HLA-DR. Where ADCs are used, they preferably incorporate SN-38 or pro-2PDOX. The ADC may be administered at a dosage of between 1 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg. The combination therapy 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. Preferably, the combination therapy has an additive effect on inhibiting tumor growth. Most preferably, the combination therapy has a synergistic effect on inhibiting tumor growth.

  • Publication number: 20210093730
    Abstract: The present invention relates to biomarkers of use in cancer therapy, wherein the therapy comprises treatment with anti-Trop-2, anti-CEACAM5 or anti-HLA-DR ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates), alone or in combination with and one or more anti-cancer agents, such as a DDR inhibitor, an ABCG2 inhibitor, a microtubule inhibitor, a checkpoint inhibitor, a PI3K inhibitor, an AKT inhibitor, a CDK 4 inhibitor, a CDK 5 inhibior, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor or a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent. Preferably, the combination therapy has a synergistic effect on inhibiting tumor growth. The biomarkers are of use to predict efficacy and/or toxicity of ADC therapy, determine tumor response to treatment, identify minimal residual disease or relapse, determine prognosis, stratify patients for initial therapy or to optimize treatment for the patient, based on the specific biomarkers detected.

  • Patent number: 10918734
    Abstract: The present invention relates to treatment of Trop-2 positive cancers with the combination of anti-Trop-2 ADC and a Rad51 inhibitor. Preferably the drug conjugated to the antibody is SN-38, and the ADC is sacituzumab govitecan. The ADC may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 16 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, or 16 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the combination of ADC and Rad51 inhibitor 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. Surprisingly, the combination is effective to treat cancers that are refractory to or relapsed from irinotecan or topotecan.

  • Patent number: 10709701
    Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic immunoconjugates comprising SN-38 attached to an anti-HLA-DR antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. The immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of between 3 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg, more preferably 8, 10 or 12 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. The methods and compositions are particularly useful for treating AML, ALL or multiple myeloma.
