Method of treatment of a solid tumor with interleukin-1 accessory protein antibody
The present invention provides agents comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) for use in inducing cell death and/or inhibiting the growth and/or proliferation of cells associated with a solid tumour, wherein the cells express IL1RAP. A related aspect of the invention provides agents comprising or consisting of a binding moiety with specificity for interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) for use in detecting pathological cells associated with a solid tumor, wherein the cells express IL1RAP. Further provided are pharmacological compositions comprising the agents of the invention and methods of using the same.
1. A method for treating a solid tumor selected from colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma in a human, comprising administering to the human an effective amount of an anti-interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) antibody with specificity for an extracellular domain of human IL1RAP wherein cells of the solid tumor express IL1RAP.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solid tumor is selected from the group consisting of breast ductal carcinoma, lung cancer, and colon cancer.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solid tumor is a melanoma.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the monoclonal antibody is human or humanized.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody further comprises a cytotoxic or detectable moiety.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the cytotoxic or detectable moiety comprises or consists of a radioisotope.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the radioisotope is selected from the group consisting of astatine-211, bismuth-212, bismuth-213, iodine-131, yttrium-90, lutetium-177, samarium-153 and palladium-109.
9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the cytotoxic moiety comprises or consists of a toxin.
10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the cytotoxic moiety comprises or consists of a chemotherapeutic agent.
11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the radioisotope is selected from the group consisting of technitium-99m, indium-111, gallium-67, gallium-68, arsenic-72, zirconium-89, iodine-12 and thallium-201.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody induces antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is of IgG1 isotype.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is of IgG2a isotype.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is administered parenterally.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the parenteral administration is intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular.
17. A method for reducing the size and/or reducing the growth of a solid tumor selected from colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma in a human, comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of an anti-interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) antibody with specificity for an extracellular domain of human IL1RAP wherein cells of the solid tumor express IL1RAP.
18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the solid tumor is selected from the group consisting of breast ductal carcinoma cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma.
19. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the antibody is of IgG1 isotype.
21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the antibody is of IgG2a isotype.
