Abstract

Described herein is a method of treating breast cancer comprising administering a bispecific antigen-binding construct targeting HER2 or a bispecific antigen-binding construct targeting HER2 linked to an auristatin analogue (ADC) in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor to a subject.

Claims (34)

1. A method of treating a patient with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer, the method comprising administering to the patient:

I) a palbociclib 75 mg, 100 mg or 125 mg capsule administered orally (PO) once daily (QD) for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle;

II) 15 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg of a bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct every 2 weeks (Q2W) or 15 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg of a bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct every 3 weeks (Q3W); and

III) fulvestrant administered at 250 mg-500 mg Q2W for the first 3 doses, then once every 4 weeks (Q4W),

wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct comprises a heavy chain H1, a heavy chain H2, and a light chain L1,

wherein:

a) heavy chain H1 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:39, SEQ ID NO:40, and SEQ ID NO:41;

b) heavy chain H2 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:67, SEQ ID NO:68, SEQ ID NO: 69, SEQ ID NO:70, SEQ ID NO:71, and SEQ ID NO:72; and

c) light chain L1 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:27, SEQ ID NO:28, and SEQ ID NO:29.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the breast cancer is resectable, partially resectable, or unresectable.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the breast cancer is locally advanced and/or metastatic.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct comprises a heavy chain H1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:36, a heavy chain H2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:63, and a light chain L1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:24.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the effective amount of the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct is 20 mg/kg every two weeks.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the effective amount of the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct is 30 mg/kg every three weeks.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administrations of I, II and III result in a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) in the patient.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the disease control rate in a group of patients administered I, II, and III is greater than 60%, 70%, or 80%.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administrations of I, II and III are administered following at least one, two, or three first-line therapies.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the patient has prior progression or intolerance following prior trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1 treatment.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises administration of one or more chemotherapeutic agents.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the one or more chemotherapeutic agents is gemcitabine and/or cisplatin.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue.

14. A method of treating a patient with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer, the method comprising administering to the patient:

I) a palbociclib 125 mg capsule administered orally (PO) once daily (QD) for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle;

II) 20 mg/kg of a bispecific anti-HER2 antigen binding construct thereof every 2 weeks (Q2W); and

III) fulvestrant administered at 500 mg Q2W for the first 3 doses, then once every 4 weeks (Q4W),

wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct comprises a heavy chain H1, a heavy chain H2, and a light chain L1,

wherein:

a) heavy chain H1 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:39, SEQ ID NO:40, and SEQ ID NO:41;

b) heavy chain H2 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:67, SEQ ID NO:68, SEQ ID NO:69, SEQ ID NO:70, SEQ ID NO:71, and SEQ ID NO:72; and

c) light chain L1 comprises the CDR sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:27, SEQ ID NO:28, and SEQ ID NO:29.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct comprises a heavy chain H1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:36, a heavy chain H2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:63, and a light chain L1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:24.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the administrations of I, II, and III result in a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) in the patient.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC).

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the bispecific anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC).
