Assignee: | New York University (New York, NY) |
Application Number: | 12/776,920 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method of inhibiting development of central nervous system leukemia in a subject, said method comprising: selecting a subject having T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
wherein said subject does not have central nervous system leukemia; providing a CCR7 antibody; and administering the CCR7 antibody to the selected subject under conditions effective to inhibit development of central nervous system leukemia in the
selected subject.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the CCR7 antibody is a human monoclonal antibody or an active binding fragment thereof. 3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: administering to the selected subject a therapeutic agent that inhibits Notch-1 selected from the group consisting of [(2S)-2-{[(3,5-Difluorophenyl)acetyl]amino}-N-[(3S)1-methyl-2-oxo-5-pheny- l-2,3-dihydro-1 H-1, 4-benzodiazepin-3-yl] propanamide](CompE), N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-L-alanyl]-Sphenylglycine-t-butylester (DAPT), LY411575, (5S)-(t-Butoxycarbonylamino)-6-phenyl-(4R)hydroxy-(2R)benzylhexanoyl)-L-l- eu-L-phe-amide (L-685,458), L-852,647, MW167, WPE-III-31, LY450139, MRK003, R-flurbiprofen ([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-acetic acid, 2-fluoro-alpha- methyl), NGX-555, E2012, GSI-1, Begacestat (2-Thiophenesulfonamide, 5- chloro-N-[(1S)-3.sub.13,3-trifluoro-1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)- propyl]-), NIC5-15, and CHF-5074. 4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising: administering a chemotherapeutic agent to the subject. 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of cytarabine, vincristine, prednisone, daunorubicin, PEG asparaginase, methotrexate, and leucovorin. 6. A method of treating T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a subject, said method comprising: selecting a subject having T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, wherein said subject does not have central nervous system leukemia and administering a cocktail of chemotherapeutic agents and a CCR7 antibody under conditions effective to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the selected subject. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the cocktail of chemotherapeutic agents comprises two or more chemotherapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of cytarabine, vincristine, prednisone, daunorubicin, PEG asparaginase, methotrexate, and leucovorin. 8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the CCR7 antibody is a human monoclonal antibody or an active binding fragment thereof. |
