  • This invention relates to methods of treating, preventing or managing leukemias with an immunomodulatory compound having the chemical name of 3-(4-amino- l-oxo-l,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione, which is also known as Revlimid® or Revimid®.
  • this invention encompasses methods of treating, preventing or managing leukemias, including but not limited to, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia and acute myeloblastic leukemia, using the compound alone as a therapeutic.
  • the invention also encompasses the use of specific combinations or

  • chemotherapeutics including but not limited to, anti-cancer agents, immunosuppressive agents, and antiinflammatories such as steroids.
  • the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and dosing regimens with said compound alone that is as a therapeutic.
  • Cancer is characterized primarily by an increase in the number of abnormal cells derived from a given normal tissue, invasion of adjacent tissues by these abnormal cells, or lymphatic or blood-borne spread of malignant cells to regional lymph nodes and to distant sites (metastasis).
  • Clinical data and molecular biologic studies indicate that cancer is a multistep process that begins with minor preneoplastic changes, which may under certain conditions progress to neoplasia.
  • the neoplastic lesion may evolve clonally and develop an increasing capacity for invasion, growth, metastasis, and heterogeneity, especially under conditions in which the neoplastic cells escape the host's immune surveillance.
  • Acute leukemias are divided into lymphoblastic (ALL) and non- lymphoblastic (ANLL) types.
  • ALL lymphoblastic

  • the use of specific B- and T-cell and myeloid-antigen monoclonal antibodies are most helpful for classification.
  • ALL is predominantly a childhood disease which is established by laboratory findings and bone marrow examination.
  • ANLL also known as acute myelogenous leukemia or acute myeloblasts leukemia (AML)
  • AML acute myelogenous leukemia
  • Chronic leukemias are described as being lymphocytic (CLL) or myelocytic
  • CML The Merck Manual, 949-952 (17 th ed. 1999).
  • CLL is characterized by the appearance of mature lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid organs. The hallmark of CLL is sustained, absolute lymphocytosis (> 5,000/ ⁇ L) and an increase of lymphocytes in the bone marrow. Most CLL patients also have clonal expansion of lymphocytes with B-cell characteristics.
  • CLL is a disease of middle or old age. In CML, the characteristic feature is the predominance of granulocytic cells of all stages of differentiation in blood, bone marrow, liver, spleen, and other organs. In the symptomatic patient at diagnosis, the total WBC count is usually about 200,000/ ⁇ L, but may reach 1,000,000/ ⁇ L.

  • tumor cells can release angiogenic peptides through the production of proteases and the subsequent breakdown of the extracellular matrix where some cytokines are stored (e.g., b-FGF).
  • Angiogenesis can also be induced indirectly through the recruitment of inflammatory cells (particularly macrophages) and their subsequent release of angiogenic cytokines (e.g., TNF- ⁇ , bFGF).

  • hormonal therapy can be effective, it is often used to prevent or delay recurrence of cancer after other treatments have removed the majority of cancer cells.

  • chemotherapeutic agents have many drawbacks.
  • Almost all chemotherapeutic agents are toxic, and chemotherapy causes significant, and often dangerous side effects including severe nausea, bone marrow depression, and immunosuppression.
  • many tumor cells are resistant or develop resistance to the chemotherapeutic agents.
  • those cells resistant to the particular chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment protocol often prove to be resistant to other drugs, even if those agents act by different mechanism from those of the drugs used in the specific treatment. This phenomenon is referred to as pleiotropic drug or multidrug resistance. Because of the drug resistance, many cancers prove refractory to standard chemotherapeutic treatment protocols.
