Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to treatment of IgE-mediated disease with antibodies that specifically bind CD38.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of treating systemic lupus erythematosus, comprising administering to a human patient in need thereof an antibody that specifically binds CD38 at about 5 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg for a time sufficient to treat systemic lupus erythematosus, wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) of SEQ ID NO: 4 and a light chain variable region (VL) of SEQ ID NO: 5, and wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 reduces an IgE level in the patient. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 isotype. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 comprises a heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 12 and a light chain of SEQ ID NO: 13. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is daratumumab. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is administered to the patient prophylactically. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is administered with a second therapeutic agent. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second therapeutic agent is a standard of care treatment for an IgE-mediated disease. 8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 and the second therapeutic agent are administered sequentially or separately. 9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 and the second therapeutic agent are administered simultaneously. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the IgE level in the patient is reduced by about 40% to about 90%. 11 . A method of reducing an IgE level in a human patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the patient an antibody that specifically binds CD38 at about 5 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg for a time sufficient to reduce the IgE level in the patient, wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) of SEQ ID NO: 4 and a light chain variable region (VL) of SEQ ID NO: 5, and wherein the patient has systemic lupus erythematosus. 12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 isotype. 13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is an IgG1 isotype. 14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 comprises a heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 12 and a light chain of SEQ ID NO: 13. 15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is daratumumab. 16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 is administered with a second therapeutic agent. 17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the second therapeutic agent is a standard of care treatment for an IgE-mediated disease. 18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 and the second therapeutic agent are administered sequentially or separately. 19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the antibody that specifically binds CD38 and the second therapeutic agent are administered simultaneously. 20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the IgE level in the patient is reduced by about 40% to about 90%.
