Abstract

Provided are monoclonal antibodies, antigen-binding fragments thereof, and combinations of the foregoing, that bind to, and inhibit the activity of, c-Met, and that are effective in treating cancers and other diseases, disorders, or conditions where pathogenesis is mediated by c-Met.

Claims (20)

1. A method of treating a cancer, comprising administering to a human patient in need thereof a monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds human c-Met, comprising three light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDRs) and three heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDRs), wherein said three LCDRs and said three HCDRs are a LCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence SVSSSVSSIYLH (SEQ ID NO: 53), a LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence STSNLAS (SEQ ID NO: 54), a LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence QVYSGYPLT (SEQ ID NO: 56), a HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence GYTFTDYYMH (SEQ ID NO: 65), a HCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence RVNPNRRGTTYNQKFEG (SEQ ID NO: 68), and a HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence ANWLDY (SEQ ID NO: 69).

2. A method of treating a cancer mediated by c-Met, comprising administering to a human patient in need thereof a monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds human c-Met, comprising three light chain complementarity determining regions (LCDRs) and three heavy chain complementarity determining regions (HCDRs), wherein said three LCDRs and said three HCDRs are a LCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence SVSSSVSSIYLH (SEQ ID NO: 53), a LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence STSNLAS (SEQ ID NO: 54), a LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence QVYSGYPLT (SEQ ID NO: 56), a HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence GYTFTDYYMH (SEQ ID NO: 65), a HCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence RVNPNRRGTTYNQKFEG (SEQ ID NO: 68), and a HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence ANWLDY (SEQ ID NO: 69).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the LCVR comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 and the HCVR comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the LCVR comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 and the HCVR comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29 and a heavy chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 41.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29 and a heavy chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 41.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29 and a heavy chain having an IgG4 heavy chain constant region.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the monoclonal antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 29 and a heavy chain having an IgG4 heavy chain constant region.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the amino acid sequence of said light chain is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 35, and the amino acid sequence of said heavy chain is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 47.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the amino acid sequence of said light chain is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 35, and the amino acid sequence of said heavy chain is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 47.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the antibody comprises two light chains and two heavy chains and wherein the amino acid sequence of said light chains is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 35, and the amino acid sequence of said heavy chains is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 47.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the antibody comprises two light chains and two heavy chains and wherein the amino acid sequence of said light chains is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 35, and the amino acid sequence of said heavy chains is encoded by SEQ ID NO: 47.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.

14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.

15. The method of claim 3 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.

16. The method of claim 4 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, non-small-cell lung (NSCL), and medulloblastoma.
