Description

[Technical Field] This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition characterized by the combination of a specific antibody-drug conjugate and a tubulin inhibitor for administration; and / or a treatment method characterized by the combination of a specific antibody-drug conjugate and a tubulin inhibitor for administration to an individual. [Previous Technology] Tubulin inhibitors are drugs that inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells by affecting microtubule dynamics, causing cell division to stop in the G2 phase (preparation phase) and / or M phase (mitosis phase) of the cell cycle, and inducing cell death through apoptosis (Non-Patent Literature 1, 2). Among tubulin inhibitors, there are agents that affect microtubule dynamics by promoting tubulin polymerization (tubulin polymerization promoters) and agents that affect microtubule dynamics by inhibiting tubulin polymerization (tubulin polymerization inhibitors). Regarding microtubule polymerization promoters, known examples include paclitaxel, docetaxel, and cabazitaxel. Regarding microtubule polymerization inhibitors, known examples include eribulin, vinblastine, vinorelbine, vindesine, brentuximab vedotin (an antibody-drug conjugate containing monomethyl auristatin E; MMAE), and trastuzumab emtansine (an antibody-drug conjugate containing DM1). Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which bind antibodies that bind to antigens expressed on the surface of cancer cells and can be internalized into cells, can selectively deliver drugs to cancer cells, and are expected to accumulate drugs within cancer cells and destroy them (Non-Patent Literature 3-7). As one type of antibody-drug conjugate, antibody-drug conjugates with antibodies and derivatives of ethathecan, which are topoisomerase I inhibitors, as constituent elements are known (Patent Documents 1-7, Non-Patent Documents 8-11). Furthermore, as described in Patent Documents 1-7, the aforementioned antibody-drug conjugate can be administered together with various cancer therapeutic agents. However, no experimental results demonstrating superior combined efficacy of the aforementioned antibody-drug conjugates and microtubule inhibitors are documented, nor is there any scientific basis for such results.

Cancer: 141, 1682-1689 (2017) [Summary of the Invention] [Invention Summary] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The antibody-drug conjugates used in this invention (antibody-drug conjugates with ethathecan derivatives as constituent elements) have been shown to exhibit excellent antitumor effects even as a single agent.
