Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods for treating cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds to programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor in combination with a bispecific antibody that binds to CD20 and CD3.
  • PD-1 programmed death 1
  • B-cell cancers are a group of heterogeneous cancers of the white blood cells known as B-lymphocytes and include leukemias (located in the blood) and lymphomas (located in the lymph nodes).
  • B-cell lymphomas include, but are not limited to, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Lymphomas are divided into indolent (slow-growing) or aggressive lymphomas. A common indolent lymphoma is follicular lymphoma, while the most common aggressive lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  • B-cell leukemias include, but are not limited to, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  • B-cell cancers express CD20 on the cell surface of mature B cells.
  • Methods for treating cancer by targeting CD20 are known in the art.
  • the chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab has been used or suggested for use in treating cancers such as NHL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), either as monotherapy but more typically in combination with chemotherapy.
  • NHL chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • SLL small lymphocytic lymphoma
  • anti-CD20 tumor targeting strategies have shown great promise in clinical settings, not all patients respond to anti-CD20 therapy, and some patients have been shown to develop resistance to or exhibit incomplete responses to anti-CD20 therapy (e.g., partial depletion of peripheral B-cells), for reasons that are not well understood (but which typically do not include loss of CD20 expression).
  • Some patients relapse with a more aggressive phenotype or chemotherapy-resistant disease.
  • Many patients with aggressive lymphomas have poor prognosis and less than 50% chance of relapse-free survival.
  • the prognosis for patients who relapse or are refractory to therapy remains dismal with median survival after salvage therapy of 2 to 8 months.
  • high-dose chemotherapy leads to severe adverse side effects.
  • therapies that are effective, prevent relapse and have less side effects for patients with B-cell cancers.
  • PD-1 receptor signaling in the tumor microenvironment plays a key role in allowing tumor cells to escape immune surveillance by the host immune system.
  • Blockade of the PD-1 signaling pathway has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with multiple tumor types, and antibody therapeutics that block PD-1 (e.g., nivolumab and pembrolizumab) have been approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Recent data has demonstrated the clinical activity of PD-1 blockade in patients with aggressive NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma (Lesokhin, et al 2014, Abstract 291, 56th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, San Francisco, Calif.; Ansell et al 2015, N. Engl. J. Med. 372(4):311-9).
  • CD3 is a homodimeric or heterodimeric antigen expressed on T cells in association with the T cell receptor complex (TCR) and is required for T cell activation.
  • TCR T cell receptor complex
  • Antibodies against CD3 have been shown to cluster CD3 on T cells, thereby causing T cell activation in a manner similar to the engagement of the TCR by peptide-loaded MHC molecules.
  • Bispecific monoclonal antibodies designed to target both CD20 and CD3 bridge CD20-expressing cells with cytotoxic T cells, resulting in CD20-directed polyclonal T cell killing.
  • a PD-1 inhibitor such as an anti-PD-1 antibody
  • a target antigen a bispecific anti-CD20/anti-CD3 antibody

  • PD-1 programmed death 1
  • methods are provided for treating, ameliorating at least one symptom or indication, or inhibiting the growth of cancer in a subject.
  • methods are provided for delaying the growth of a tumor or preventing tumor recurrence.
