Embodiment Construction

[0154] Materials and methods

[0155] Anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody. Anti-ErbB2 IgG specific for the ErbB2 extracellular domain was produced as described by Fendly et al. Cancer Res. 50:1550-1558 (1990) and WO89 / 06692 1 Kappa mouse monoclonal antibody 4D5. Briefly, NIH3T3 / HER2-3 was generated as described by Hudziak et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 84:7159 (1987) 400 cells (each cell expresses about 1×10 5 ErbB2 molecules), the cells were harvested in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 25 mM EDTA and used to immunize BALB / c mice. At the 0th, 2nd, 5th, and 7th weeks, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10 7 Cells in 0.5 ml PBS. At weeks 9 and 13, mice whose antiserum could immunoprecipitate 32p-labeled ErbB2 were injected intraperitoneally with WGA-purified ErbB2 membrane extracts. Then, 0.1 ml of the ErbB2 preparation was injected intravenously once, and the splenocytes were fused with the mouse myeloma cell line X63-Ag8.653. ...

Abstract

The present invention concerns the treatment of disorders characterized by the overexpression of ErbB2. More specifically, the invention concerns the treatment of human patients susceptible to or diagnosed with cancer overexpressing ErbB2 with a combination of an anti-ErbB2 antibody and a chemotherapeutic agent other than an anthracycline, e.g. doxorubicin or epirubicin.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods of treating diseases characterized by overexpression of ErbB2. More specifically, the present invention relates to the treatment of patients predisposed to or diagnosed with ErbB2 overexpressing cancer with a combination of an anti-ErbB2 antibody and a chemotherapeutic agent instead of an anthracycline (such as doxorubicin or epirubicin). Background of the invention [0002] Proto-oncogenes encoding growth factors and growth factor receptors have been established to play important roles in the pathogenesis of various human malignancies, including breast cancer. It has been found that the human ErbB2 gene (erbB2, also known as her2 or c-erbB-2), is overexpressed in about 25-30% of human breast cancer patients, and this gene encodes the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR ) related 185kd transmembrane glycoprotein receptor (p185 HER2 ) (Slamon et al., Science, 235:177-182 [1987]; Slamon et al., Science, 24...
