Methods of treating cancer
Provided are methods of treating cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, de novo or transformed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or indolent lymphoma) in an individual that comprise administering to the individual (a) a polypeptide comprising a SIRPα D1 domain variant and an Fc domain variant, and (b) an anti-cancer antibody (e.g., an anti-PD1 antibody, anti-HER2 antibody, or an anti-CD20 antibody). Also provided are related kits pharmaceutical compositions.
1. A method of treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in an individual, comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of (a) a polypeptide comprising a SIRPα D1 domain variant and an Fc domain variant, and (b) pembrolizumab,
wherein the SIRPα D1 domain variant comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 85;
wherein the Fc domain variant is a human IgG1 Fc region comprising L234A, L235A, G237A, and N297A mutations, wherein numbering is according to the EU index of Kabat;
and
wherein the HNSCC in the individual has progressed during a prior platinum therapy or after the prior platinum therapy;
wherein the individual has not received prior therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor; and
wherein the individual is a human.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prior platinum therapy comprised one or more therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of: cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pembrolizumab is administered to the individual at a dose of 200 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) by intravenous (IV) infusion.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Fc domain variant comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 91.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprising a SIRPα D1 domain variant and an Fc domain variant comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 136.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprising a SIRPα D1 domain variant and an Fc domain variant forms a homodimer.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprising a SIRPα D1 domain variant and an Fc domain variant is administered to the individual at a dose of 10 mg/kg once per week (QW).
