- the treatment includes surgical removal of the tumor; adjuvant treatment; chemo- and immunotherapy, or radiation therapy. Of particular danger are metastases of the primary melanoma tumor.
- a method of treating melanoma or a metastasis thereof in a human patient in a combination therapy which comprises administering a melanoma-treating combination to a human melanoma patient during a treatment regimen, the combination comprising an alpha thymosin peptide and an antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator (HSAA).
- HSAA antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator
- the present invention is directed to a method of treating melanoma or metastases thereof in human patients.
- the method involves administering a melanoma-treating effective combination to human melanoma patients, the combination comprising an alpha thymosin peptide and an antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator (HSAA).
- HSAA heat shock apoptosis activator
- the combination further includes one or more additional agents to combat or treat melanoma.
- Alpha thymosin peptides comprise thymosin alpha 1 (TA1 ) peptides including naturally occurring TA1 as well as synthetic TA1 and recombinant TA1 having the amino acid sequence of naturally occurring TA1 , amino acid sequences substantially similar thereto, or an abbreviated sequence form thereof, and their biologically active analogs having substituted, deleted, elongated, replaced, or otherwise modified sequences which possess bioactivity substantially similar to that of TA1 , e.g., a TA1 derived peptide having sufficient amino acid homology with TA1 such that it functions in substantially the same way with substantially the same activity as TA1.
- Suitable dosages of the alpha thymosin peptide can be within the range of about 0.001- 10mg/kg/day.
- Thymosin alpha 1 and "TA 1” refer to peptides having the amino acid sequence disclosed in U.S. patent number 4,079, 137, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Thymosin alpha 1 (TA1 ), initially isolated from Thymosin Fraction 5 (TF5), has been sequenced and chemically synthesized.
- TA1 is a 28 amino acid peptide with a molecular weight of 3108.
- Effective amounts of an alpha thymosin peptide are amounts which may be dosage units within ranges corresponding to about 0.1-20 mg of TA1 , about 1-10 mg of TA1 , about 2-10 mg of TA1 , about 2-7 mg of TA1 , or about 3-6.5 mg of TA1.
- Dosage units may comprise about 1.6, 3.2 or 6.4 mg of TA1 , or about 3.2 or 6.4 mg of TA1.
- a dosage unit may be administered once per day, or a plurality of times per day.
- Melanoma has various stages, which may include Stage 0, I, II, III and IV, as well as their respective subdivisions.
- the melanoma being treated is malignant metastatic melanoma.
- the melanoma being treated is stage I, stage II, stage III or stage IV.
- the melanoma being treated is stage M1a, M1 b or M1c melanoma.
- the alpha thymosin peptide is administered in a treatment regimen which includes administration to the patient of an antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator (HSAA).
- HSAA antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator
- STA-4783 elesclomol
- Elesclomol kills cancer cells by elevating oxidative stress levels beyond a breaking point, triggering programmed cell death. Elesclomol has been shown to rapidly cause a dramatic increase in oxidative stress - the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) - inside cancer cells.
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- the method of the present invention comprises administering the alpha thymosin peptide along with administering an antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator (HSAA), during a course of the treatment regimen.
- HSAA may be administered continuously (i.e., daily), multiple times per day, every other day, etc., and may be administered concurrently with the alpha thymosin peptide or separately therefrom during the treatment regimen, e.g., on the same day(s) as the alpha thymosin peptide or on different days during the course of the treatment regimen.
- the HSAA is administered in dosage ranges of, e.g., about 0.01-1000 mg/kg/day of administration, about 0.1-500 mg/kg/day, or about 1-200 mg/kg/day. Daily dosages may be, e.g., 25 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, etc.

- CC cytotoxic chemotherapeutic
- Paclitaxel's cytotoxic and anti-tumor properties derive from is ability to promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) by inducing the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and preventing mcirotubules from depolymerization.
- the stabilized microtubules inhibit normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network that is essential for vital interphase and mitotic functions.
- paclitaxel induces abnormal arrays or "bundles" of microtubules throughout the cell cycle and multiple asters of microtubules during mitosis.
- the cytotoxic chemotherapeutic (CC) may be administered to patient in dosage ranges within about 1-500 mg per treatment, or in a dosage range of about 70- 280 mg per treatment.
- the treatment regimen comprises a plurality of days, with the alpha thymosin peptide comprising thymosin alpha 1 (TA1), and the TA1 being administered to the patient during at least a portion of the treatment regimen at a dosage within a range of about 0.5-10 mg/day.
- the TA1 dosage is within a range of about 1.5-7 mg/day, or within a range of about 1.6-6.4 mg/day.
- the TA1 dosage is within ranges of about 1.7-10 mg/day, 1.7-7 mg/day, or about 3-7 mg/day. Exemplary dosages include 1.6, 3.2 and 6.4 mg/day.
- the treatment regimen comprises administering the alpha thymosin peptide for a period of about 1-10 days, followed by about 1-5 days of non-administration of the alpha thymosin peptide.
- the alpha thymosin peptide may be administered daily for about 3-5 days, followed by about 2-4 days of non-administration of the alpha thymosin peptide.
- the alpha thymosin peptide is administered daily for about 4 days, followed by about 3 days of non-administration of the alpha thymosin peptide.
- the combination further includes one or more additional agents to combat or treat melanoma.
- additional agents may be antineoplastic agents such as alkylating antineoplastic agents (AIkAA), which include, without limitation, dacarbazine (DTIC).
- AIkAA alkylating antineoplastic agents
- DTIC dacarbazine
- Additional agent(s) of the combination such as alkylating antineoplastic agents (AIkAA) may be administered to patient within dosage ranges of, e.g., about 700-1300 mg/m 2 /day, about 800-1200 mg/m 2 /day, and/or at about 1000 mg/m 2 /day.
- the various components of the combination may be administered concurrently with, or separately from, other components in a treatment regimen.
- the invention comprises use of an alpha thymosin peptide and an antineoplastic heat shock apoptosis activator (HSAA) (and optionally an antineoplastic cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent such as paclitaxel) in manufacture of a melanoma-treating effective pharmaceutical combination or medicament for use in a treatment regimen for treating melanoma or a metastasis thereof in a human melanoma patient.

- Tumor volume and body weight were measured every three days, and tumor weights were measured on Day 17 at the end of the study.
- Tumor measurement data showed that the mean tumor volumes of all treatment were statistically significantly smaller than that of Group 1 on Days 6, 9, 12 and 15. On Day 17, the mean tumor weights of all treatment groups were lower than Group 1.
- the Pl tw values of Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5, and Group 6 were 55.67%, 62.6%, 55.42%, 73.61 %, and 54.19%, respectively, indicating effectiveness of all treatment regimens.
- TA-1 was used in combination with low-dose Pac/Ele, an enhanced, although statistically insignificant, tumor inhibition effect was observed.
- the tumor model used in this study was valid as tumor growth was inhibited by the positive control drug Pac/Ele.
- Daily administration of test article TA- 1 at 6 mg/kg was effective against the tumor growth.
- Pac/Ele treatment or with addition of TA- 1 were also effective.
- Higher dose Pac/Ele did not yield an improved tumor inhibition over the low-dose treatment.
- TA- 1 was combined with low-dose Pac/Ele treatment, an enhanced tumor inhibition and attenuated loss of body weight were observed, indicating beneficial effects.
- Thymosin Alpha-1 is an immunomodulator possessing a potential antitumor activity.
- Paclitaxel Panac
- Elesclomol Elesclomol
- EIe is an investigational drug reported to enhance cellular oxidative stress leading to death of cancerous cells.
- EIe in combination with Pac, has demonstrated anti-cancer efficacy in the patients with metastatic melanoma. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of TA-1 in combination with Pac and EIe towards the B16 melanoma subcutaneously implanted in C57BL/6 mice.
- PBS was used as the negative control article, and the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs Pac and EIe as the positive control.
- Pac (Lot# LX-P-070416) was purchased from Knowshine (Shanghai) Pharmachemicals Inc., while EIe (Lot# E08010-34) was supplied by SciClone.
- Pac and EIe were co-dissolved in the mixture of Cremophor EL/ethanol (50:50; Sigma Cremophor EL, 95% ethyl alcohol) to make two intermediate stock solutions corresponding to concentrations of 24 mg/mL and 8 mg/mL, respectively.
- Murine B16 melanoma cells were thawed from the stock of Cell Culture Center, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (PUMC & CAMS, Beijing, P. R. China). The tumor cells were adapted in C57BL/6 mice before use in the experiment (Refer to Section 4.3.1 for details on cell adaptation).
- mice Thirty male and thirty female healthy, naive, C57BL/6 mice were received from the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science, CAMS, Beijing, P. R. China. The animals were six weeks old and weighed between 18 and 22 grams at the start of the study.
- TA-1 was administered once daily via subcutaneous (s.c.) injection for 14 consecutive days at a site different from that of tumor cell implantation, while Pac and EIe was administered on Days 1 , 7, and 13 via an intravenous (i.v.) injection.
- TW tumor weight
- PI TW (%) 100 x (TW vehicle - TW drug treated)/ TW vehicle
- Toxicity of all treatment regimens was evaluated with the body weights of the study animals along with the drug-induced animal deaths.
- the inhibition of body weight was calculated using Excel according to the equation below:
- PI BW (%) 100 x (BW vehicle - BW drug treated )/ BW vehicle [0073] Statistical Analysis [0074] Inter-group comparison was performed in terms of tumor volume, tumor weight and body weight, using a student's t test. P values of less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
- mice On Days 3 and 6 only a few mice had palpable tumors, and there was no statistical difference in tumor volume between the vehicle control group (Group 1 ) and any treatment group. On Day 9, all mice in Group 1 had palpable tumors. In contrast, only four or five mice in each of treatment groups had tumors. On Day 12 and Day 15, all surviving mice in the Groups 1-6 showed palpable tumors, and the mean tumor volume of each treatment group was statistically significantly smaller than that of Group 1 (p ⁇ 0.05). Among all treatment groups, Group 5, the group received the combination treatment of TA- 1 and Pac/Ele, had the lowest mean tumor volume.
- the tumor model used in this study was valid as tumor growth was inhibited by the positive control drugs Pac/Ele.
- Daily administration of TA-1 at 6 mg/kg was effective against the tumor growth.
- mean tumor volume in animals of Group 2 which received TA-1 treatment was significantly reduced by more than 50% in comparison to that of the vehicle control group.
- Mean tumor weight, which was measured on Day 17, were reduced by 55.67% in TA-1 -treated animals.
- Low dose Pac/Ele treatment resulted in 62.6% inhibition of tumor growth based on tumor weight measurement, while that of the high dose Pac/Ele was 55.42%. Higher dose did not yield an improved tumor inhibition.
- TA-1 When TA-1 was combined with low-dose Pac/Ele treatment, Group 5 demonstrated 73.61 % tumor inhibition, which is higher than that of low-dose Pac/Ele treatment alone (62.60%) or TA- 1 treatment alone (55.67%). Although the differences do not reach statistical significance due to higher inter-individual variation, the increased tumor inhibition may suggest an additive effect of TA- 1 towards the efficacy of the low dose Pac/Ele treatment. When TA-1 was combined with the high-dose Pac/Ele, there was no additive effect. As a matter of fact, the tumor inhibition rate in the combination treatment group (Group 6) and the high-dose Pac/Ele treatment group (Group 4) was 55.42% and 54.19%, respectively.
