HaNK cetuximab combinations and methods
Contemplated cancer therapies comprise co-administration of aldoxorubicin with an immune therapeutic composition that preferably comprises a vaccine component and a cytotoxic cell component.
1. A method of treating a patient having a tumor, comprising:
providing an immune therapeutic composition comprising (a) a vaccine component comprising adenoviral vectors encoding brachyury, MUC1, and CEA, (b) cetuximab, (c) a cytotoxic cell component comprising NK92 cells genetically modified to express a high affinity CD16 variant, and (d) ALT803, and further providing a chemotherapeutic composition comprising aldoxorubicin; and
administering the immune therapeutic composition and the chemotherapeutic composition in a dose and schedule sufficient to treat the tumor.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering an antibody to the patient or a protein that interferes with or down-regulates checkpoint inhibition.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is coupled to the cytotoxic cell component.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the antibody specifically binds to at least one of a growth factor receptor, a blood vessel growth receptor, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, a tumor associated antigen, a tumor specific antigen, or a tumor- and patient-specific neoepitope.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the protein that interferes with or down-regulates checkpoint inhibition is an antibody or an antagonist of CTLA-4, PD-1, TIM1 receptor, 2B4, or CD160.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tumor is a solid tumor.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vaccine component and the cytotoxic cell component are separately administered by at least one day.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a medical history of at least one of previous platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a molecular profile of the patient, wherein the molecular profile comprises an HER2 expression level or a RAS mutation status.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tumor is metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NK92 cells are high affinity NK (haNK) cells.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a vaccine component comprising yeast vectors expressing brachyury, Ras, and CEA.
