Summary for Patent: 10,328,130
Title:Modified hyaluronidases and uses in treating hyaluronan-associated diseases and conditions
Abstract: Provided are combinations, compositions and kits containing a hyaluronan degrading enzyme, such as a soluble hyaluronidase, for treatment of hyaluronan-associated conditions, diseases and disorders. In one example, the products include an additional agent or treatment. Such products can be used in methods for administering the products to treat the hyaluronan-associated diseases and conditions, for example, hyaluronan-associated cancers, for example, hyaluronan-rich tumors. The methods include administration of the hyaluronan degrading enzyme composition alone or in combination with other treatments. Also provided are methods and compositions for providing sustained treatment effects in hyaluronan-associated diseases and conditions.

Application Number:13/385,528
Patent Claims:1. A method for treating a tumor with a PEGylated soluble human PH20 hyaluronidase in a subject having pancreatic cancer, comprising: a) measuring the expression or level of hyaluronan in a tumor sample from the subject, wherein the subject has pancreatic cancer; and the tumor sample is a pancreatic tumor biopsy sample; b) determining the level of expression of hyaluronan in the tumor biopsy sample; c) identifying, for treatment, the subject, wherein hyaluronan is expressed in at least 30% of the tumoral area in the tumor biopsy sample from the subject; and then d) administering to the subject, the PEGylated soluble PH20 hyaluronidase, and administering a second agent that is an anti-cancer agent or treatment for treating the tumor in the subject.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the hyaluronan is detected with a hyaluronan-binding protein.
