Carrier-PD-L1 binding agent compositions for treating cancers
View Patent ↗Described herein are compositions of binding agents and carrier proteins, and optionally at least one therapeutic agent, and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic. Also described are lyophilized compositions of binding agents and carrier proteins, and optionally at least one therapeutic agent, and methods of making and using the same, in particular, as a cancer therapeutic. Still also described are methods for treating and/or increasing the therapeutic effectiveness of an immunotherapy of a patient suffering from a cancer which expresses PD-L1 or PD-L2 by administering to the patient a nanoparticle composition and a PD-1 immunotherapy.
1. A nanoparticle comprising:
a. albumin,
b. between about 100 to about 1000 antibodies non-covalently bound to a surface of the nanoparticle, wherein the antibodies are capable of binding to PD-L1, and
c. paclitaxel,
such that said nanoparticle is capable of binding to PD-L1.
2. The nanoparticle of claim 1 , wherein the antibodies are selected from atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, BMS 936559 (MDX1105), or biosimilars thereof.
3. A nanoparticle composition comprising the nanoparticle of claim 1 .
4. The nanoparticle composition of claim 3 which is lyophilized, wherein upon reconstitution with an aqueous solution the nanoparticle is capable of binding to PD-L1.
5. The nanoparticle of claim 1 , further comprising an additional therapeutic agent selected from abiraterone, bendamustine, bortezomib, carboplatin, cabazitaxel, cisplatin, chlorambucil, dasatinib, docetaxel, doxorubicin, epirubicin, erlotinib, etoposide, everolimus, gefitinib, idambicin, imatinib, hydroxyurea, imatinib, lapatinib, leuprorelin, melphalan, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, nedaplatin, nilotinib, oxaliplatin, pazopanib, pemetrexed, picoplatin, romidepsin, satraplatin, sorafenib, vemurafenib, sunitinib, teniposide, triplatin, vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, or cyclophosphamide.
6. A kit comprising the nanoparticle composition of claim 3 and a PD-1 immunotherapy agent.
7. A method for treating a patient suffering from a cancer which expresses PD-L1, said method comprising administering to the patient:
(a) a composition comprising the nanoparticle of claim 1 ; and
(b) a PD-1 immunotherapy.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the PD-1 immunotherapy comprises a second antibody capable of binding to PD-1.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second antibody is integrated onto and/or into the nanoparticle, and optionally a second therapeutic agent.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second antibody is nivolumab, pembrolizumab, pidilizumab, PDR001, or biosimilar thereof.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the antibodies of the nanoparticle comprise atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, BMS 936559 (MDX1105), or biosimilars thereof.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the nanoparticle composition is lyophilized, the method further comprising reconstituting the nanoparticle composition in an aqueous solution prior to administration.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering to the patient an additional therapeutic agent selected from abiraterone, bendamustine, bortezomib, carboplatin, cabazitaxel, cisplatin, chlorambucil, dasatinib, docetaxel, doxorubicin, epirubicin, erlotinib, etoposide, everolimus, gefitinib, idarubicin, imatinib, hydroxyurea, imatinib, lapatinib, leuprorelin, melphalan, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, nedaplatin, nilotinib, oxaliplatin, pazopanib, pemetrexed, picoplatin, romidepsin, satraplatin, sorafenib, vemurafenib, sunitinib, teniposide, triplatin, vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, or cyclophosphamide.
14. A method for increasing the therapeutic effectiveness of an immunotherapy treatment of a patient suffering from a cancer which expresses PD-L1, comprising administering to the patient
(a) a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising the nanoparticle of claim 1 , and
(b) a PD-1 immunotherapy.
