摘要:
Disclosed are bispecific binding agents that specifically target both of the IGF-1 and the ErbB intracellular signaling pathways. For example, bispecific binding agents that comprise an anti-IGF-1R antibody and an anti-ErbB3 antibody connected by a linker are described herein. These bispecific agents are capable of antagonizing signal transduction by both of the IGF-1 and the ErbB signaling pathways and are useful in inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells whose growth involves the signaling activity of both pathways.
摘要:
Provided are methods for treating pancreatic cancer in a patient by administering liposomal irinotecan (MM-398) alone or in combination with additional therapeutic agents. In one embodiment, the liposomal irinotecan (MM-398) is co-administered with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for treating patients which methods comprise methods for predicting responses of cells, such as tumor cells, to treatment with therapeutic agents. These methods involve measuring, in a sample of the cells, levels of one or more components of a cellular network and then computing a Network Activation State (NAS) or a Network Inhibition State (NIS) for the cells using a computational model of the cellular network. The response of the cells to treatment is then predicted based on the NAS or NIS value that has been computed. The invention also comprises predictive methods for cellular responsiveness in which computation of a NAS or NIS value for the cells (e.g., tumor cells) is combined with use of a statistical classification algorithm. Biomarkers for predicting responsiveness to treatment with a therapeutic agent that targets a component within the ErbB signaling pathway are also provided.
摘要:
Provided herein are novel antiErbB3 and anti-IGF-IR antibodies (e.g., monoclonal antibodies). Also provided herein are novel monospecific and bispecific antibodies that are useful as anti neoplastic agents and that bind specifically to human IGF-IR and/or human ErbB3. Exemplary antibodies inhibit signal transduction through both or either of IGF-IR and ErbB3. Exemplary polyvalent proteins comprise at least one anti-IGF-IR binding site and at least one anti-ErbB3 binding site. In certain embodiments the binding sites may be linked through an immunoglobulin constant region.
