Summary for Patent: 5,843,439
Title: Therapeutic application of chimeric and radiolabeled antibodies to human B lymphocyte restricted differentiation antigen for treatment of B cell lymphoma
Abstract:Disclosed herein are therapeutic treatment protocols designed for the treatment of B cell lymphoma. These protocols are based upon therapeutic strategies which include the use of administration of immunologically active mouse/human chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies, radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies, and cooperative strategies comprising the use of chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies and radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies.

Assignee:
Application Number:08/478,967
Patent Claims:1. A method of treating B-cell lymphoma which includes the following steps: (i) administering, at a first administration period, a radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody, wherein said antibody is selected from the group consisting of the chimeric anti-CD20 antibody produced by transfectoma TCAE 8, which has been accorded American Type Culture Collection Deposit No. ATCC 69119, and the murine anti-CD20 antibody secreted by a hybridoma identified by American Type Culture Collection Deposit No. HB 11388; and (ii) subsequently administering after step (i) at least one dosage of a chimeric anti-CD20 antibody produced by transfectoma TCAE 8, which has been accorded American Type Culture Collection Deposit No. ATCC 69119.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein multiple dosages of said chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies are administered after said initial administration (i) of said radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said radiolabeled antibody administered in step (i) is a radiolabeled murine anti-CD20 antibody, and said murine anti-CD20 antibody is secreted by the hybridoma identified by American Type Culture Collection Deposit No. HB 11388.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said radiolabeled antibody administered in step (i) is a radiolabeled chimeric anti-CD20 antibody, wherein said chimeric anti-CD20 antibody is produced by transfectoma TCAE 8, which has been accorded American Type Culture Collection Deposit No. ATCC 69119.

5. The method of claim 1, which further includes harvesting of peripheral stem cells (PSC's) or bone marrow (BM) prior to treatment.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein said harvested PSC's or BM is reinfused after treatment.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the radiolabel contained in said radiolabeled antibody administered in step (i) is selected from the group consisting of iodine (131), indium (131), indium (111), and yttrium (90).
