Abstract: The present invention concerns compositions and methods of use of anti-HLA-DR antibodies or fragments thereof. In preferred embodiments, the antibodies are subcutaneously administered to a human patient with a hematologic cancer or autoimmune disease. The subcutaneously administered anti-HLA-DR antibody is effective to treat hematologic cancer or autoimmune disease in patients that have relapsed from or are refractory to standard therapies for hematologic cancer or autoimmune disease, such as administration of anti-CD20 antibodies, such as rituximab.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, compositions and uses of concentrated formulations of anti-CD74 antibody, of use for treating autoimmune diseases. In a specific non-limiting embodiment, the autoimmune disease is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In a preferred embodiment, the anti-CD74 antibody is milatuzumab (IMMU-115). The antibody is administered subcutaneously, preferably at a dosage of 250 mg once a week for four weeks. The subcutaneous administration of anti-CD74 antibody ameliorates the symptoms of autoimmune diseases, with only manageable side effects.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods of treating relapsed/resistant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma using combination therapy with an anti-CD20 antibody or fragment and an anti-CD74 antibody or fragment. In preferred embodiments, the antibody combination is administered along with at least one other therapeutic agent. The combination is effective to treat indolent NHL that is resistant to or relapsed from at least one therapy for NHL, including but not limited to rituximab resistant NHL. The antibody combination may be administered to human subjects at specific dosages and dosing schedules, that are effective to treat the disease but do not induce a dose-limiting toxicity.
