20120328618 | DOSAGE REGIMEN FOR ADMINISTERING A CD19XCD3 BISPECIFIC ANTIBODY - The present invention relates to a method for assessing (analyzing) the risk of potential adverse effects for a human patient mediated by the administration of a CD19×CD3 bispecific antibody to said patient comprising determining the ratio of B cells to T cells of said patient, wherein a ratio of about 1:5 or lower is indicative for a risk of potential adverse effects for said patient. Accordingly, the present invention relates a method (dosage regimen) for administering a CD19×CD3 bispecific antibody to a human patient having a B:T cell ratio of about 1:5 or lower, comprising (a) administering a first dose of said antibody for a first period of time; and consecutively (b) administering a second dose of said antibody for a second period of time, wherein said second dose exceeds said first dose.In some embodiments, a third dose of said antibody is administered for a third period of time. This dosage regimen can be applied in methods for treating malignant CD19 positive lymphocytes or for ameliorating and/or preventing an adverse effect mediated by the administration of said bispecific antibody. The present invention also relates to the use of a CD19×CD3 bispecific antibody for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition to be used in a method of the present invention. A pharmaceutical package or kit comprising a first dose and a second dose and optionally a third dose of said antibody as defined in the methods/dosage regimen of the present invention is disclosed as well. | 12-27-2012 |

20100112603 | METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE RESPONSE TO A TREATMENT - The invention is related to a method of predicting the response to a treatment with a HER inhibitor in a patient comprising the steps of assessing a biomarker or a combination of biomarkers selected from the group consisting of amphiregulin, an epidermal growth factor, a transforming growth factor alpha, and a HER2 biomarker in a biological sample from the patient and predicting the response to the treatment with the HER inhibitor in the patient by evaluating the results of the first step. Further uses and methods wherein these markers are used are disclosed. | 05-06-2010 |

20130287774 | Prevention of Adverse Effects Caused by CD3 Specific Binding Domains - The present invention relates to a glucocorticoid (GC) for use in the amelioration, treatment or prophylaxis of neurological/psychiatric adverse events caused by a CD3 binding domain. Kits comprising a GC, a CD3 binding domain and instructions for use which indicate that the GC is to be employed for the treatment amelioration and/or prophylaxis of neurological adverse events caused by said CD3 binding domain, are also disclosed. | 10-31-2013 |
20130287778 | MEANS AND METHODS FOR TREATING DLBCL - The present invention provides means and methods for treating diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Specifically, a bispecific CD19×CD3 antibody which engages T cells via its CD3 binding portion and concomitantly binds to CD19 on the surface of in particular, lymphoma cells via its CD19 binding portion (i.e. a bispecific T cell engager, “BiTE”) is administered for use in the treatment of tumorous mass of lymophoreticular tissue and/or extranodal lymphoma caused by DLBCL in a patient. | 10-31-2013 |
