Summary for Patent: 10,413,539

Title:	Therapy for metastatic urothelial cancer with the antibody-drug conjugate, sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132)
Abstract:	The present invention relates to therapeutic ADCs comprising SN-38 attached to an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. The ADC may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg, most preferably 8 to 10 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the ADC can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Preferably, the ADC is administered in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents, such as a PARP inhibitor, a microtubule inhibitor, a Bruton kinase inhibitor or a PI3K inhibitor. Most preferably, the ADC is of use for treating a Trop-2 expressing cancer, such as metastatic urothelial cancer.

Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating urothelial cancer comprising administering to a human patient with urothelial cancer an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sacituzumab govitecan, wherein the ADC is administered at a dosage of between 6 mg/kg and 12 mg/kg. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient has failed to respond to at least one other therapy, prior to treatment with the ADC. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the dosage is selected from the group consisting of 6 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, 9 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 12 mg/kg. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the treatment results in a reduction in tumor size of at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 30%, or at least 40%. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is metastatic. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising reducing in size or eliminating the metastases. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is refractory to other therapies but responds to the ADC. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient has failed to respond to therapy with a camptothecin, prior to treatment with the ADC. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the camptothecin is selected from the group consisting of irinotecan, topotecan and SN-38. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the ADC dosage is administered to the human patient once or twice a week on a schedule with a cycle selected from the group consisting of: (i) weekly; (ii) every other week; (iii) one week of therapy followed by two, three or four weeks off; (iv) two weeks of therapy followed by one, two, three or four weeks off; (v) three weeks of therapy followed by one, two, three, four or five weeks off; (vi) four weeks of therapy followed by one, two, three, four or five weeks off; (vii) five weeks of therapy followed by one, two, three, four or five weeks off; and (viii) monthly. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the cycle is repeated 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 or 20 times. 12.
