摘要:
Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits for improving targeting, in particular tumor targeting, of immunoconjugates. The method and composition relies on the sequestration of non-target cells that also express the antigen the immunoconjugate targets. Sequestration of those non-target cells in a variety of ways is disclosed. The methods, compositions and kits allow appropriate sequestration of non-target cells while maintaining a high degree of effectiveness of the immunoconjugates against target cells.
摘要:
Disclosed are immunoconjugates having in particular specificity for CD138 expressed on target cells and which display homogenous targeting. The immunoconjugates may be sterially hindered and/or contain a cleavable linker.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods and treatment regimes that include the administration of immunconjugates targeting CD138 to combat diseases. The immunoconjugate is either used as the sole active ingredient, as part of a treatment regime or as part of an anticancer combination.
摘要:
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.

摘要:
Disclosed are immunoconjugates having specificity for CD138 that diminish adhesion of CD138 expressing tumor cells to stroma cells and methods of using the same. This deminished adhesion renders the tumor cells not only susceptible to the immunconjugate, but also to other agents, in particular cytotoxic agents.
