Abstract
The present invention relates to surprisingly effective anti-cancer drug combinations, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of ovarian cancer. In particular, the present invention is based on the discovery that the administration of a CD56 antibody linked to a cytotoxic compound (e.g.,, an immunoconjugate) in combination with at least two chemotherapeutic agents (in particular a taxane compound and a platinum compound), improves the therapeutic index in the treatment of ovarian cancer over and above the additive effects of the anticancer agents used alone. In one embodiment of the invention, combinations of the CD56 antibody, or fragment thereof, linked to a cytotoxic compound plus additional chemotherapeutic agents have a synergistic effect in the ovarian cancer therapeutic index. The present invention also provides methods of modulating the growth of selected cell populations, such as ovarian cancer cells, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combinations.
