Methods for treating medical conditions induced by interleukin-4 involve administering an IL-4 antagonist to a patient afflicted with such a condition. Suitable IL-4 antagonists include, but are not limited to, IL-4 receptors (such as a soluble human IL-4 receptor), antibodies that bind IL-4, antibodies that bind IL-4R, IL-4 muteins that bind to IL-4R but do not induce a biological response, molecules that inhibit IL-4-induced signal transduction, and other compounds that inhibit a biological effect that results from the binding of IL-4 to a cell surface IL-4R. Particular antibodies provided herein include human monoclonal antibodies generated by procedures involving immunization of transgenic mice. Such human antibodies may be raised against human IL-4 receptor. Certain of the antibodies inhibit both IL-4-induced and IL-13-induced biological activities.

International Classification:
A61K039/395 A61K038/17
US Classification:
424/144100, 514/012000
Abstract:
The invention provides methods of treating autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions by administering agents that hinder the CD30/CD30L interaction, combination treatments, and methods of treating conditions resistant to treatment with TNF inhibitors by administering agents that inhibit signal transduction by CD30 or IL-1. Included also are treatments involving concurrently administering agents that block the CD30/CD30L interaction and agents that antagonize the IL-4/IL-4R interaction. Additionally provided is an animal model for screening candidate agents for their efficacy in treating conditions that are resistant to treatment with TNF inhibitors.

Abstract:
Methods for treating cancer involve administering an interleukin-4 antagonist to a patient diagnosed with cancer. Suitable IL-4 antagonists include, but are not limited to, IL-4 receptors (IL-4R) such as a soluble human IL-4 receptor, antibodies that bind IL-4, antibodies that bind IL-4R, IL-4 muteins that bind to IL-4R but do not induce a biological response, molecules that inhibit IL-4-induced signal transduction, and other compounds that inhibit a biological effect that results from the binding of IL-4 to a cell surface IL-4R. Co-administration of an IL-4 antagonist and an immune stimulatory molecule is also contemplated. Particular antibodies provided herein include human monoclonal antibodies generated by procedures involving immunization of transgenic mice.
Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Treatment Of Medical Disorders
The invention pertains to methods and compositions for reducing resistance to STI 571 in a chronic myelogenous leukemia patient by administering a TNF inhibitor, such as recombinant TNFR:Fc to such patient.
