摘要:
A combination antibody therapy for treating B cell malignancies using an immunoregulatory antibody, especially an anti-B7, anti-CD23, or anti-CD40L antibody and a B cell depleting antibody, especially anti-CD19, anti-CD20, anti-CD22 or anti-CD37 antibody is provided. Preferably, the combination therapy will comprise anti-B7 and anti-CD20 antibody administration.
摘要:
Novel compounds, compositions and methods comprising modified antibodies are provided. In preferred embodiments the disclosed modified antibodies comprise antibodies having one or more of the constant region domains altered or deleted to afford beneficial physiological properties such as enhanced target localization and rapid blood clearance. The disclosed compounds are particularly useful for the treatment of neoplastic disorders in myelosuppressed patients.
摘要:
The present invention discloses combined therapies for treating hematologic malignancies, including B cell lymphomas and leukemias or solid non-hematologic tumors, comprising administration of anti-cytokine antibodies or antagonists to inhibit the activity of cytokines which play a role in perpetuating the activation of B cells. The administration of such antibodies and antagonists, particularly anti-IL10 antibodies and antagonists, is particularly useful for avoiding or decreasing the resistance of hematologic malignant cells or solid tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents and anti-CD20 or anti-CD22 antibodies. The invention also provides combination therapies for solid tumors having B cell involvement comprising the administration of an anti-cytokine antibody and a B cell depleting antibody such as RITUSAN®.
摘要:
Methods and kits for the treatment of neoplastic disorders comprising the use of a CD23 antagonist are provided. The CD23 antagonist may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. In particularly preferred embodiments the CD23 antagonists may be used to treat B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to antibodies which bind human gp39, are antagonistic of the CD40/CD40L interaction, but are non-agonistic of T-cell activation. The present invention is further directed to the use of these antibodies as therapeutic agents. These antibodies are especially useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases; and an immunosuppressant during transplantation of heterologous cells, tissues or organs, cell therapy, and gene therapy.
摘要:
The present invention concerns treatment of autoimmune diseases with the combination of an immunoregulatory antibody, e.g. and anti-B7.1 or anti-B7.2 or anti-CD40L antibody and at least one B cell antibody, such as CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23, or CD37, wherein such antibodies may be administered separately, or in combination, and in either, over prolonged periods of time.
摘要:
The invention discloses compositions, combination therapies and methods of treating B-cell lymphomas and leukemias, as well as other CD40+ malignancies. The primary active agent of the composition is an anti-CD40L antibody or other CD40L antagonist that inhibits CD40-CD40L interaction. Compositions may additionally contain or utilize any one or more of the following in combination for the treatment of said disease: anti-CD20 antibodies, chemotherapeutic agents, chemotherapy cocktails, and radiotherapy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of biologically active antibody dimers in a pharmaceutically acceptable composition. The dimers can be composed of two antibody molecules having the same antigen binding specificity and linked through a reducible, disulfide, or a non-reducible thioether, bond (homodimer). Alternatively, the dimers can be composed of two different antibody molecules having binding specificity for two distinct antigens (heterodimer). These dimers are useful for inducing hyper-cross-linking of membrane antigens. The present invention further relates to the use of biologically active antibody dimers for the preferential killing or inhibition of selected cell populations in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders.
摘要:
The present invention provides a synergistic composition and methods for treating neoplastic or cancerous growths as well as for treating such patients in order to restore or boost hematopoiesis. The present invention comprises administration of the combination of a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte inducing composition and at least one agent which is capable of neutralizing or down regulating the activity of tumor secreted immunosuppressive factors, separately or in combination.
