Inventor(s): Zeldis; Jerome B. (Princeton, NJ)
Assignee: Celgene Corporation (Summit, NJ)
Filing Date:Feb 19, 2008
Application Number:12/070,451
Claims:1. A method of treating leukemia in a human, which comprises administering to a human having leukemia escalating doses of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione, wherein a starting dose is between about 2.5 mg/day and about 10 mg/day, and a maximum dose is between about 5 mg/day and about 50 mg/day, wherein the leukemia is chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the leukemia is relapsed, refractory or resistant to conventional therapy.

3. A method of treating leukemia in a human, which comprises administering to a human having leukemia escalating doses of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione, wherein a starting dose is between about 2.5 mg/day and about 10 mg/day, and a maximum dose is between about 5 mg/day and about 50 mg/day, and a therapeutically effective amount of a second active agent, wherein the leukemia is chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the second active agent is an antibody, hematopoietic growth factor, cytokine, anti-cancer agent, antibiotic, cox-2 inhibitor, immunomodulatory agent, immunosuppressive agent, or corticosteroid.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the second active agent is rituximab, fludarabine, or a combination thereof.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered after the administrations of rituximab and fludarabine.

7. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein the maximum amount of 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is from about 5 to about 10 mg per day.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the maximum amount of 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is about 10 mg per day.

9. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein the maximum amount of 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is about 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, or 50 mg per day.

10. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein 3-(4-amino -oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is enantiomerically pure.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is S enantiomer.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione administered is R enantiomer.

13. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein 3-(4-amino -oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered in the form of a capsule or tablet.

14. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein 3-(4-amino -oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered in an amount of about 2.5to 10 mg per day for 21 days followed by seven days rest in a 28 day cycle.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising administration of rituximab in an amount of 375 mg/m.sup.2.

16. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein 3-(4-amino -oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered orally.

17. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein 3-(4-amino -oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered in the form of a capsule.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered in the capsule of 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 25 mg.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the capsule comprises the 3-(4-amino-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione, lactose anhydrous, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate.

20. The method of claim 1 or 3, wherein the starting dose of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-iusoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is escalated each week.

21. The method of claim 1 or 3 wherein the starting dose of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-iusoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is escalated every 28 days.

22. The method of claim 3 wherein the second active agent is dexamethasone, prednisone, or a combination thereof.
