摘要:
Provided are methods and compositions for clinical treatment of advanced gynecological cancers using anti-ErbB3 antibodies combined with paclitaxel.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for treating a cancer in a selected human patient are provided, comprising administering to the patient a combination of an anti-ErbB3 antibody (e.g., Seribantumab) and a second anti-cancer therapeutic. A cancer to be treated by the methods and compositions disclosed herein includes cancers that are heregulin (HRG) positive cancers.
摘要:
Provided are methods of suppressing growth of hormone refractory breast tumors by contacting tumor cells with an ErbB3 inhibitor, preferably an anti-ErbB3 antibody. Also provided are methods for treating hormone refractory breast cancer in a patient by administering to the patient an inhibitor of heregulin binding to ErbB3 or to ErbB2/ErbB3 heterodimer, which inhibitor is an anti-ErbB3 antibody or an anti-ErbB2 antibody. The treatment methods can further comprise selecting a patient having a hormone refractory breast cancer and then administering the inhibitor to the patient. The treatment methods may also comprise administering an estrogen receptor antagonist, or an aromatase inhibitor to the patent and may at further comprise administering to the patient at least one additional anti-cancer agent that is not an ErbB3 inhibitor, an estrogen receptor antagonist, or an aromatase inhibitor to the patient in combination with the ErbB3 inhibitor.
摘要:
Provided are methods for optimizing therapy of, treating a patient having, or selecting (identifying) patients who will benefit from treatment for, a cancer (e.g., a non-hematological cancer; e.g., a gynecological cancer). The methods comprise determining whether the patient will benefit from treatment with an ErbB3 inhibitor (e.g., an anti-ErbB3 antibody), with or without either a taxane or an aromatase inhibitor, or with a taxane or an aromatase inhibitor in the absence of an ErbB3 inhibitor, based on levels of particular biomarkers and combinations of biomarkers measured in a biological sample obtained from the patient. The methods further comprise optimizing the patient's therapy, selecting the patient for treatment, or treating the patient accordingly. In various aspects the biological samples are sections of a biopsy (e.g., a formalin fixed paraffin embedded biopsy). In other aspects the biomarkers are proteins and/or nucleic acids. In other aspects the biomarkers function in ErbB-mediated signal transduction.
摘要:
Provided are methods for overcoming resistance to an ErbB pathway inhibitor, such as an EGFR inhibitor or a HER2 inhibitor. The resistance may be acquired resistance to an EGFR inhibitor, such as acquired resistance to gefitinib. In the methods provided, a subject exhibiting resistance to an ErbB pathway inhibitor is selected and both an ErbB 3 inhibitor and a second ErbB pathway inhibitor are administered to the subject, such as an EGFR inhibitor or a HER2 inhibitor. Also provided are methods for inhibiting the growth of a tumor comprising a T790M EGFR mutation by contacting the tumor with an ErbB3 inhibitor and an EGFR inhibitor. Compositions for overcoming resistance to an ErbB pathway inhibitor, comprising both an ErbB 3 inhibitor and a second ErbB pathway inhibitor, such as an EGFR inhibitor or a HER2 inhibitor, are also provided.
