Methods for treating specific populations of cancer patients, specifically patients suffering from cancer who undergo stem cell transplantation and were classified as positive by a pre-transplant metabolic imaging, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a pidilizumab monoclonal antibody.

Pidilizumab monoclonal antibody therapy following stem cell transplantation

The present invention relates to humanized monoclonal antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions that include the same, and use thereof for the treatment of a variety of indications, particularly cancer and immunodeficiency disorders. In particular, the present invention provides modified antibodies or fragments thereof having specific amino acid modifications compared to the humanized monoclonal immunomodulatory antibody termed hBAT-1.

Variants of humanized immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies

A method of treating a tumor or enhancing survival of a subject having a tumor. The method includes (i) administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a humanized monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof, wherein the antibody or the fragment thereof has all complementarity determining regions of murine monoclonal antibody BAT (mBAT-1) and a framework region (FR) from an acceptor human immunoglobulin, or modified therefrom; and (ii) administering to the subject an effective amount of at least one chemotherapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of: 5-fluorouracil, cytarabine, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel and combinations thereof. The humanized antibody is administered between 1 and 30 days after commencing chemotherapy or substantially simultaneously or concurrently or according to an overlapping schedule with the at least one chemotherapeutic agent to thereby treat the tumor or enhance the survival of the subject having the tumor.

Monoclonal antibodies for tumor treatment

The present invention relates to methods for inhibiting tumor growth, increasing survival of a subject having a tumor and inducing protection against tumor recurrence in a mammal. The methods comprise administering a humanized monoclonal antibody comprising CDR regions derived from the murine monoclonal antibody designated mBAT-1, in combination with at least one chemotherapeutic agent.
