Problems solved by technology

The primary treatment approach for malignant melanoma is surgical resection, and radiation, which carries a 50% recurrence rate within a year, and potential post radiation cognitive deficits.9 Malignant melanomas that are in excess of 0.76 mm in thickness carry a significant risk for metastasis.
However, current melanoma therapies are approved only for advanced disease.
Despite progress in cancer therapy development, including for melanoma and SCC, a significant unmet need remains for effective treatments.
However, there are currently no melanoma drugs on the market that target ETBR.

[0213]BQ788 Inhibits Melanoma Growth and Metastasis (FIGS. 4A and 4B).

[0214]BQ788 is a potent inhibitor of ETBR-related melanoma cell growth (IC50 of 1.2 nM, Ki=17.8 nM). BQ788 induces apoptosis in melanoma tumor cells. Mice were implanted with 1×106 SKMEL28 human melanoma cells. Tumors were established for 10 days until palpable then 120 ng (˜60 ug / kg) BQ788 dissolved in DMSO was injected IP 3×per week×6 weeks. Mice were then sacrificed and lungs harvested and tumors weighed. A 75% reduction in tumor weight was observed. Lung specimens harvested from control mice (FIG. 4A) demonstrated numerous metastases whereas specimens harvested form mice treated with BQ788 demonstrated >95% clearance of lung metastases (FIG. 4B).

[0215]A192621 Inhibits Melanoma Brain Metastasis in Mice (FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E).

[0216]A192621 demonstrates an IC50 of 4.5 nM, and Ki=8.8 nM. A192621 was administered at a dose of 60 mg / kg / day using a mouse melanoma model. (A) A192621 increases survival; and (B-...

Abstract

The description provides compositions and methods for treating ETBR-related cancer. In certain aspects, the description provides a delivery system for the controlled, systemic release of at least one of ETBR antagonists, caspase-8 inhibitors, or a combination thereof, optionally including an ETAR antagonist, an anti-PD-1 antibody, a bRAF inhibitor, niacinamide or a combination thereof. The compositions described are useful for the treatment of certain cancers, including, e.g., breast cancer, malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, as well as others. In addition, the description provides a delivery system for the controlled release of at least one of ETBR antagonists, caspase-8 inhibitors or a combination thereof, optionally including at least one of an ETAR antagonist, an anti-PD-1 antibody, a bRAF inhibitor, niacinamide, or a combination thereof, to the central nervous system that are useful for treating cancers that have spread to the brain.

Description

SEQUENCE LISTING[0001]The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said ASCII copy, created on Apr. 7, 2020, is named “55520707301 SL.txt” and is 658 bytes in size.BACKGROUND1. Field of the Discovery[0002]The present description relates to a controlled delivery therapeutic system for the treatment of cancer, a method of treating cancer, and diagnostic screening methods. In particular, presently described are compositions and methods for administering a treatment for cancer, e.g., malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, and other types of cancer.2. Background Information[0003]It is estimated that more than 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 2015.1 In particular, the American Cancer Society estimates that 252,310 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed in 2015.2 Melanoma presently accounts for 9,940 deaths in the U.S. and over 65,...
