Complete Specification for the Invent Oon 3ntitled: USE OF CERTAIN GAMMA INTERFERONS IN THlE PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL C01MW)-SITIONS INTENDED FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER OF THE OVARY BY INTIXA-PEiUTONEAL ROUTE The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing It known to me,-- 4 -5 rror~un la USE OF CERTAIN GAMMA INTERFERDNS IN THE PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS INTENDED TO THE TREATMENT OF CANCER OF THE OVARY BY INTRA-PERITONEAL ROUTE Use of certain gamma interferons in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions intended for the treatment of cancer of the ovary by intra-peritoneal route.
Gamma interferon, in addition to its anti-viral and anti-proliferative properties, possesses a powerful immunomodulatory activity which distinguishes it from the alpha and beta interferons. It stimulates the phagocytic cells, enabling in particular the lysis of certain tumour cells. The study of the tolerance of gamma interferon in patients at the terminal stage of cancer has not led to observations of remissions from these cancers (Vadhan-Raj, S et al. (1986) J. Clin.
S Oncol. 4 137-146 or Van Der Burg, M et al. (1985) J. Biol. Resp. Mod. 4 (264o, 15 272)).
o a The effectiveness of gamma interferon on various fresh, human cancer cells, according to the so-called "human tumor cloning system" test described by S Hamburger et al., was shown in Patent Application WO 87/05518, notably on ovarian cancer colonies. Following these observations, clinical studies were carried out, in particular with patients having cancer of the ovary. However, the effectiveness of the gamma interferon in viv, was not observed either for administration by intravenous route (Welander, C.E. et al. Am. J. Clin. Oncol.
(1988) 11 465-4b9), or according to a protocol using administration by intraperitoneal route [(D'Acquisto, R et al. J. Clin. Oncol. (1988) 6 (689-695)]. In a let I I lb general way, it is recognized that the anti-cancerous action of gamma interferon necessitates its use in combination with other therapeutic agents [(Saito, T et al., Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. (1989) 19 (233-239)]. Now the Applicant has just obtained results showing that, in certain conditions of use, certain gamma interferons show an activity on cancer of the ovary.
Therefore the invention relates to a method for treating cancer of the ovary in a patient requiring such treatment which method comprises intraperitoneally administering to said patient by perfusion a recombinant polypeptide of human gamma interferon type with a specific activity at least equal to 1 x 10 7 U/mg, o <~-~rzt~rrzt7v'zv 2 -efeeft-i-ve-tr-ea tment-o- ovar-ian- cancer-eharaeter-i-d -poIlypeptide used is a product having a-specf±cacts±-at s equalt--to- These results are contrary to the absence of effectiveness reported by D'Acquisto, R, for a recombinant gamma interferon administered through perfusion by intra-peritoneal route in the treatment of refractory ovarian cancers. The invention describes the use of human gamma interferon in a treatment, the effectivene.ss of which is shown by a response rate of 58%, for an administration by intra-peritoneal route through perfusion, in patients with ovarian cancer having residual tumour lesions after exeresis surgery and chemotherapy. The specific activity of the recombinant products used 7 in the invention is at least equal to 1.10 U/mg, determined according to ',he standard test by measurement of the anti-viral activity relative to an NIH scale on Wish human cells infected by the vesicular stomatitis virus, and enables the administration of effective doses which are lower than the tolerated maximum dose expressed in mg of product. The use according to the invention therefore makes use of recombinant pilypeptides having an activity of gamma interferon type and possessing a high degree of puri.ty. The pharmaceutical compositions prepared according to the invention preferably contain a recombinant human gamma interferon, that is, obtained by the technology of recombinant DNA, for example as described by Gray et al.
in Nature (1982) 295 503-500 or in Patent Application EP 77670, alleles or derivatives of these products as described for example in Patent Application EP 161504. Purification techniques known to an expert are then used, which enable the preparation of iigh-purity products. The gamma interferon is notably that obtained starting with a strain of E. coli and containing 143 amino acids corresponding to the sequence of natural gamma interferon with a supplementary Nterminal methionine.
In particular a subject of the invention is the use, characterized in that the polypeptide employed, preferably gamma interferon, is administered at a dose of 10 to 50.10 U/M per injection and more particularly the use characterized in that the polypeptide employed, preferably gamma interferon, is administered at a dose of 20.10 U/M2 per injection.
I 7 ~iPI 3 Notably a subject of the invention is the use, characterized in that the polypeptide employed, preferably gamma interferon, is administered repeatedly for at least two non-consecutive days per week and quite especially the use characterized in that the polypeptide employed, preferably gamma interferon, is administered repeatedly for at least two months, for example for three months.
The dose administered, the frequency of the inject-on and the ouration of the triatment vary as a function of the condition of the patient.
The polypeptide employed, preferably gamma interferon, is contained in a pharmaceutical composition, preferably lyophilized in dropping bottles containing from 0.2 to 1 mg of active principle and which is re-constituted with distilled water for injection. The solution obtained is immediately diluted with a solute which contributes to the stability of the active principle during perfusion, for example sodium chloride at 0.9%.
By way of example, a preparation was made for intra-peritoneal perfusion of formula: gamma interferon 1 mg excipient 50 mg sterilized wat"r 4.1 ml sodium chloride at 0.9% 250 ,l According to the preferred use of the invention, the polypeptide used, preferably gamma interferon, has a specific activity of 7 6 2 2.10 U/mg, the dose is 20.10 U/M the frequency of the injection is twice weekly and the duration of the administration is 4 months, representing in total about 720.106 U/M 2 and 36 mg/M 2 of gamma interferon administered to the patient by intra-peritoneal route.
The following results illustrate the invention without however limiting it: The study includes patients having residual tumour lesions the size of which varies from microscopic to more than 20 mm after treatment by chemotherapy and exeresis surgery, the effectiveness of which was evaluated at 20% of complete response after a histological examination carried out during a second operation.
The gamma interferon compositions prepared according to the I IILP-L- ~II HF.-~ hC"" 4 invention allow the injection of doses of 20.10 U/M that is 1 mg/M per injection, at a rate of 2 injections per week for 2 to 4 months, by intra-peritoneal route according to an ambulatory method. The compositions described above are used, containing 1 mg of active principle which is perfused in the patient for a time not exceeding 2 hours, after previous perfusion of dialysis fluid varying, according to the condition of the patient, from 1 to 2 litres and constituted bI Dianeal 137 with 1.36% of glucose from TRAVENOL.
The evaluation of the patients' responses is effected during a laparotomy by macroscopic and histological examinations with biopsies of the previously affected sites and biopsie.: at random.
For 12 re-evaluated patients, the following responses were obtained: Patient 201 301 503 801 803 1001 1002 1004 1101 1102 1901 1902
