Administration of an anti-activin-A compound to a subject
The present invention relates to methods of treating ovarian cancer in a subject by administering to the subject by evaluating the subject's expression levels of specific biomarkers or angiogenic an anti-activin-A compound, such as an anti-activin-A antibody or an activin-A-binding receptor. In some embodiments, at least two compounds are administered to the subject, where the first compound is an anti-activin A compound, and the second compound is a chemotherapeutic compound, for example capecitabine. The invention further relates to methods of identifying subjects for treatment factors.
1. A method for treating serous ovarian cancer in a subject in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-activin-A antibody and a chemotherapeutic compound to the subject wherein the anti-activin-A antibody comprises:
(a) a light chain variable domain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 275; and
(b) a heavy chain variable domain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 278 wherein said antigen binding protein binds to human activin-A; and wherein the chemotherapeutic compound is capecitabine.
