Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating cancer by administering an EP4 antagonist in combination with radiation therapy, antibody therapy and/or anti-metabolite chemotherapy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of treating a subject having colorectal cancer or melanoma or pancreatic cancer, comprising administering to the subject, an EP4 antagonist in combination with an antibody therapy, wherein the EP4 antagonist is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said treating comprises an abscopal effect. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody therapy is CTLA4 antibody therapy. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has colorectal cancer. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is metastatic cancer. 6. A method of generating a memory immune response in a subject having colorectal cancer or melanoma or pancreatic cancer, comprising administering to the subject, an EP4 antagonist in combination with an antibody therapy, and wherein the EP4 antagonist is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said generating the memory immune response comprises an abscopal effect. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the antibody therapy is CTLA4 antibody therapy. 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subject has colorectal cancer. 10. The method of any of claim 6 , wherein the cancer is metastatic cancer. 11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the memory immune response comprises epitope spreading. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises administering an anti-metabolite chemotherapy in combination with the EP4 antagonist and antibody therapy. 13. A method of treating a subject having colorectal cancer or melanoma or pancreatic cancer, comprising administering to the subject, an EP4 antagonist in combination with an anti-metabolite chemotherapy, wherein the EP4 antagonist is: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the memory immune response further comprises administering an anti-metabolite chemotherapy in combination with the EP4 antagonist and antibody therapy. 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody therapy is PDL1 antibody therapy. 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody therapy is PD1 antibody therapy. 17. The method of claim 6 , wherein the antibody therapy is PDL1 antibody therapy. 18. The method of claim 6 , wherein the antibody therapy is PD1 antibody therapy. 19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has melanoma. 20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has pancreatic cancer. 21. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subject has melanoma. 22. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subject has pancreatic cancer.
