Tumor antigen specific antibodies and TLR3 stimulation to enhance the performance of checkpoint interference therapy of cancer
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting cancer tumor growth in a patient by administering to the patient a therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific for a tumor associated antigen in combination with at least one immunostimulatory compound, and at least one immune homeostatic checkpoint inhibitor. Also disclosed are uses, compositions and kits thereof.
1. A method for inhibiting growth of a cancer expressing MUC1 on the cancer cell surface in a patient comprising administering to said patient a therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1, a TLR3 agonist, and an anti-PD-L1 antibody, wherein:
the therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1 is (1) monoclonal antibody AR20.5; or (2) a monoclonal IgE antibody having a heavy chain variable region encoded by SEQ ID NO: 1 and a light chain variable region encoded by SEQ ID NO: 2;
the TLR3 agonist is polyICLC; and
the anti-PD-L1 antibody is monoclonal antibody 10F.9G2.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1 is monoclonal antibody 3C6.hIgE.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1 is monoclonal antibody AR20.5 or monoclonal antibody 3C6.hIgE, and said anti-PD-L1 antibody is monoclonal antibody 10F.9G2.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1 is a murine monoclonal antibody or a chimeric monoclonal antibody.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC1 has a constant region that is of human origin.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cancer is selected from the group consisting of pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer and multiple myeloma.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising the steps of:
a) administering a therapeutically effective amount of said therapeutic monoclonal antibody specific to MUC 1;
b) administering a therapeutically effective amount of said TLR3 agonist after step a); and
c) administering a therapeutically effective amount of said anti-PD-L1 antibody, after step b).
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein step b) is performed 1 or more days after step a).
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein step c) is performed 1 or more days after step b).
