Abstract

Claims (11)

1 . A method for the treatment of a Lewis Y antigen positive solid cancer in a human subject, comprising:

administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a radiolabeled DOTA-conjugated human Lewis Y antigen (huLeY) binding antibody prepared according to the process of reacting p-SCN-Bn-DOTA with unconjugated huLeY binding antibody to obtain DOTA-conjugated huLeY binding antibody and radiolabeling the DOTA-conjugated huLeY binding antibody by chelation of a radionuclide to the DOTA moiety of the DOTA-conjugated huLeY binding antibody,

wherein a portion of the radiolabeled DOTA-conjugated huLeY binding antibody in the pharmaceutical composition maintains immunoreactivity with human Lewis Y antigen; and

administering to the subject an immune checkpoint therapy comprising an antibody against PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4,

wherein the huLeY binding antibody is a Fc-silent IgG antibody comprising a heavy chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO: 127, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO: 128, a heavy chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO: 129, a light chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO: 131, a light chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO: 132, and a light chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO: 133.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the radionuclide comprises 177 Lu or 225 Ac.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the radionuclide comprises 225 Ac.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the solid cancer is a breast cancer, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, esophageal cancer, bronchioloalveolar cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical epidermoid cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cancer, head and neck cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, or cholangiocarcinoma.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein administering to the subject an immune checkpoint therapy comprising an antibody against PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 comprises administering to the subject nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or ipilimumab.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein administering to the subject an immune checkpoint therapy comprising an antibody against PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 comprises administering to the subject nivolumab, pembrolizumab, or ipilimumab.
