Description

WO 01/10462 PCT/US00/40459 Treatment of Patients having Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma with Bone Marrow Involvement with Anti-CD20 Antibodies Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of reducing the number of cancerous B cells in the bone marrow of a patient having a B cell lymphoma prior to radioimmunotherapy comprising administration of an antiantibody. Combined therapeutic methods of treating a patient having lymphoma with associated bone marrow involvement are also encompassed.
Background of the Invention Radioimmunotherapy of B cell lymphoma is limited by marrow involvement, infiltration of the bone marrow by cancerous B lymphocytes. This complicates radioimmunotherapy in two regards: antibody binding to diseased cells in the marrow will deliver a dose of radiation to the marrow thereby causing unwanted myelosuppression; and marrow crowding of normal cells and progenitors will weaken healthy marrow reserves so that patients may actually be closer to grade 3 or 4 cytopenias than would be the case in patients without marrow involvement. In either case, the patient may be less tolerant to radioimmunotherapy, with B cell depleting antibody conjugated to a radioisotope such as 9"Y or As a consequence, patients with greater than 25% bone marrow involvement P QPERVAR\PECIk726DX) I spa do.2102A)6 -2are generally excluded from treatment with radioimmunotherapy.
As found by Wiseman and colleagues, the clinical parameters of baseline platelet counts and degree of bone marrow involvement are accurate predictors of hematologic toxicity in patients with low-grade follicular non-Hodgkins lymphoma undergoing therapy with Y2B8, a murine antibody conjugated to 0 Y. For instance, eight percent of patients (2/25) without bone marrow involvement developed Grade 4 thrombocytopenia vs. 25% of those with 0.1-5% bone marrow involvement. 45% (5/11) of those with 5-20% involvement, and 100% with 20-25% involvement (Wiseman et al. IDEC-Y2B8 radioimmunotherapy: baseline bone marrow involvement and platelet count are better predictors of 15 hematologic toxicity than dosimetry. Blood 1998 Supplement November, 92(10) 417a (1721) Poster Board #/Session: 393-
III).
It would be useful to develop methods of reducing the bone marrow involvement in patients with non-Hodgkin's 20 lymphoma such that these patients may benefit from new radioimmunotherapies, thereby providing another avenue of treatment and decreasing the chance of relapse.

The term antibody "fragments" includes any *0* therapeutically effective portion or derivative of a therapeutic antibody, which is effective to bind to the intended target and produce the intended result. Included are Fab, fragments, Fab fragments, Fv fragments, domaindeleted antibodies, etc. Preferably, the antibodies used in the present invention are human, COMS ID No: SBMI-03899250 Received by IP Australia: lime 15:59 Date 2006-06-16 16-06-'06 15:26 FROM- T-004 P013/079 F-884 P tP R KnSfCM bOROOSC c'o..lA-l.

A preferred antibody is the chimeric anti-CD20 antibody, rituximab (marketed as RITUXAN® in the U.S. and MABTHERA® in Britain).
The patients who will most benefit from the present invention will be patients who have greater than 25t bone marrow involvement before being treated with the disclosed immunotherapy. Such patients may be identified by prior diagnostic imaging using antibodies radiolabeled with gammaemitting isotopes such as Such patients may also be identified following bone marrow biopsy.
99* According to a study by Wiseman et al., such patients have a very high chance of developing thrombocytopenia due 15 to radioimmunotherapy.

9 9 The dosages to be used in the present invention may vary depending on the patient, the extent of bone marrow involvement, and the antibody used. Chimeric antibody such as rituximab may be administered at a dosage of at least about 50 mg/m 2 weekly for at least 4 COMS ID No: SBMI-03899250 Received by IP Australia: Time 15:59 Date 2006-06-16 WO 01/10462 PCT/USOO/40459 weeks. A preferred dosage regimen is about 375 mg/m 2 weekly for four weeks.
Because the purpose of the methods of the present invention is to decrease the bone marrow involvement in patients with lymphoma preparing to undergo radioimmunotherapy, the treatment methods of the present invention naturally encompass treatment with a radiolabeled antibody subsequent to purging of the marrow.. The radiolabeled antibody may also be directed to any B cell surface marker which is found generally on cancerous cells and not normal cells. Preferably, the radiolabeled antibody is an anti-CD20 antibody.
Preferred radiolabels are beta emitting isotopes such as 90 Y or 13'I, but any radioisotope may be used so long as it may be effectively conjugated to the antibody, it has a relatively short decay range, and it succeeds in killing nearby cells, the cells to which it is targeted. A preferred radiolabeled antiantibody is Y2B8.
A patient should generally be treated within one week after administration of the depleting antibody, so long as they are not severely cytopenic, platelets <150,000. If the patient is cytopenic following treatment with the depleting antibody, recovery should be allowed to occur, e.g. nadir AGC >1000 or platelets >150,000, before radioimmunotherapy. In cases where cell recovery in the peripheral blood and/or bone marrow is permitted to occur, more depleting antibody may be administered directly before immunotherapy. Such a WO 01/10462 PCT/US00/40459 -6secondary dosage may be administered, for example, at about 250 mg/m 2 for about two weeks directly before or overlapping with radioimmunotherapy.
Dosages of radiolabeled antibodies will also vary depending on the patient, the antibody specificity, half-life, stability, etc., and of course, the extent of disease. Radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies like Y2B8 are administered at a dosage of about 0.1 to 0.5 mCi/kg.
It. should be clear that the treatment methods disclosed herein may be combined with other known treatment methods such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells may be harvested from said patient subsequent to treatment with antibody and prior to treatment with said radiolabeled antibody in order to effect autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation after radiotherapy.
It may also be useful to treat patients with cytokines in order to upregulate the expression of pr other target protein on the surface of cancerous B cells prior to administration of the depleting antibody or the radiolabeled antibody. For upregulation of cytokines useful for this purpose are IL-4, GM-CSF and TNF-alpha. Cytokines may also be administered simultaneously with or prior to or subsequent to administration of the depleting antibody or radiolabeled antibody in order to stimulate immune effector functions. Cytokines useful for this purpose include interferon alpha, GM-CSF and G-CSF.
16-06-'06 15:26 FROM- T-004 P014/079 F-884 -7- Chemotherapeutic regimens may be used to supplement the therapies disclosed herein, and may be administered simultaneously with or sequentially in any order with administration of said radiolabeled antibody. The chemotherapy regimen may be selected from the group consisting of CHOP, ICE, Mitozantrone, Cytarabine, DVP, ATRA, Idarubicin, hoelzer chemotherapy regime, La La chemotherapy regime, ABVD, CEOP, 2-CdA, FLAG IDA (with or without subsequent G-CSF treatment), VAD, M P, C-Weekly, ABCM, MOPP and DHAP. A preferred chemotherapeutic regimen is CHOP.
The methods of the present invention may be used to treat a variety of B cell lymphomas but are particularly useful wherein said B cell lymphoma is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Rituximab has already been approved for the treatment of low-grade-follicular NHL, but the present inventors have surprisingly found that rituximab is also beneficial for the treatment of intermediate- and high-grade NHL, including bulky disease. Accordingly, the lymphomas which are treatable by the methods of the present invention include low grade/follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), small lymphocytic (SL) NHL, intermediate grade/follicular NHL, intermediate grade diffuse NHL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), high grade immunoblastic NHL, high grade lymphoblastic NHL, high grade small noncleaved cell NHL, bulky disease NHL, mantle cell lymphoma, AIDS-related lymphoma and Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, so long as such lymphomas are accompanied by bone marrow involvement which complicates the availability of radioimmunotherapy.
