Embodiment approach 1

[0305] Embodiment 1: An anti-EGFR antibody having a glycosylation site in the CH2 domain, wherein 50% or less of the glycans attached to the glycosylation site carry fucose (reduced fucose anti-EGFR antibody), and wherein the fucose-reduced anti-EGFR antibody is capable of inducing an antibody-dependent cytotoxic response for the treatment of EGFR-positive neoplastic disease in a human patient, wherein the fucose-reduced Anti-EGFR antibodies resulted in grade 3 or higher adverse skin reactions in no more than 10% of treated patients.

Embodiment approach 2

[0306] Embodiment 2 of embodiment 1: an anti-EGFR antibody, wherein the fucose-reduced anti-EGFR antibody results in a grade 3 or higher acneiform rash in no more than 5% of treated patients.

[0307] Embodiment 3 of embodiment 1 or 2: an anti-EGFR antibody for use in the treatment of a human patient suffering from an EGFR positive neoplasia in which at least one other anti-EGFR antibody has been shown to be active in more than 50% of the treated Patients exhibited adverse skin reactions and / or grade 3 or higher adverse skin reactions in at least 12% of patients.

Abstract

The present invention pertains to the field of cancer therapy using anti-cancer antibodies. The medical use of anti-EGFR antibodies having improved glycosylation characteristics, in particular a reduced fucosylation, is provided which show anti-cancer efficacy and an improved adverse side effect profile.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention pertains to new medical applications of anti-EGFR antibodies with improved characteristics in anti-cancer therapy. The anti-EGFR antibodies showed superior therapeutic efficacy with greatly reduced occurrence of adverse side effects such as skin reactions. Thus, it is possible to treat cancer patients well tolerated with these antibodies, as well as to treat patients otherwise untreatable due to severe adverse reactions caused by conventional anti-EGFR antibodies. 【Background technique】 [0002] Antibodies are widely used agents in medicine and research. In medicine, they find application in many different fields, notably as therapeutic agents in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, especially neoplastic diseases such as cancer. However, the therapeutic outcomes obtained from antibody therapy of cancer patients are highly variable. A significant percentage of treatments with anti-cancer antibodies show no or only...
