Compositions comprising anti-CD38 antibodies and lenalidomide
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein are compositions and kits which comprise anti-CD38 antibodies and lenalidomide compounds. Also disclosed are methods for treating cancers, such as multiple myeloma, in subjects with the compositions and kits.
1. A method of treating multiple myeloma in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CD38 antibody and a therapeutically effective amount of a lenalidomide compound to the subject,
wherein the subject has undergone at least two prior therapies for multiple myeloma and at least one of the at least two prior therapies was lenalidomide,
wherein the subject was refractory to lenalidomide, and
wherein the anti-CD38 antibody comprises a heavy chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 66, and a light chain variable region of SEQ ID NO: 62.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lenalidomide compound is lenalidomide.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-CD38 antibody is capable of killing a CD38 + cell by apoptosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-CD38 antibody is administered intravenously.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lenalidomide compound is administered orally.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-CD38 antibody and the lenalidomide compound are administered sequentially.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering a dexamethasone compound to the subject.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the dexamethasone compound is administered orally.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the dexamethasone compound is administered at a low dose.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the anti-CD38 antibody, the lenalidomide compound, and the dexamethasone compound are administered sequentially.
11. The method of claim 1 , and further comprising administering an anti-coagulation agent to the subject.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the anti-coagulation agent is selected from the group consisting of aspirin, warfarin, and low molecular weight heparin.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the anti-CD38 antibody, the lenalidomide compound, and the anti-coagulation agent are administered sequentially.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has undergone at least three prior therapies for multiple myeloma.
