The invention relates to administration of an anti-CTLA4
antibody, particularly human antibodies to human CTLA4, such as those having
amino acid sequences of antibodies 3.1.1, 4.1.1, 4.8.1, 4.10.2, 4.13.1, 4.14.3, 6.1.1, ticilimumab (also referred to as 11.2.1 or CP-675,206), 11.6.1, 11.7.1, 12.3.1.1, 12.9.1.1, and ipilimumab (also referred to as 10D1 or MDX-010), in combination with an indolinone
receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (RTKI), e.g., N-[2-diethylamino]ethyl]-5-[(Z)-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)methyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-
pyrrole-3-
carboxamide (compound 1), N-[2-(ethylamino)ethyl]-5-[(Z)-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)methyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-
pyrrole-3-
carboxamide (compound 2), and 5-[(Z)-(5-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ylidene)methyl]-N-[(2S)-2-hydroxy-3-morpholin-4-ylpropyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-
pyrrole-3-
carboxamide (compound 3), for treatment of
cancer. The invention relates to administering a combination of an anti-CTLA4
antibody and an indolinone RTKI such as, inter alia, compound 1. The invention relates to neoadjuvant,
adjuvant, first-line, second-line, and third-line therapy of
cancer, whether localized or metastasized, and at any point(s) along the
disease continuum (e.g., at any stage of the
cancer).
