Methods for treating vascular leak syndrome and cancer
View Patent ↗Disclosed are methods for treating Vascular Leak Syndrome and preventing cancer metastasis. Further disclosed are methods for treating vascular leakage due to inflammatory diseases, sepsis, cancer or the presence of pathogens.
1. A method for reducing vascular leak syndrome in an eye of a human having vascular leak in the eye, comprising administering to the human having vascular leak a composition comprising an effective amount of an HPTPβ-ECD binding agent, wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is an intact monoclonal antibody, wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is R15E6 or a humanized form thereof, wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered once daily, three-times weekly, twice weekly, once weekly, three times monthly, twice monthly, once monthly, or once every other month.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered in combination with an additional therapeutic agent, wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent and the additional therapeutic agent are administered together or in any order.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the additional therapeutic agent is IL-2.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg by weight of the human.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered by intravenous injection or subcutaneous injection.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered by intravitreal injection.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered once daily.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered three-times weekly.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered twice weekly.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered once weekly.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered three times monthly.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered twice monthly.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered once monthly.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HPTPβ-ECD binding agent is administered once every other month.
