Abstract

The disclosure relates to means and methods in the treatment of cancer. The disclosure in particular relates to a method of treating a cancer in an individual with an antibody that at least binds EGFR and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The invention further relates to the use in such methods and to use in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a cancer that has not been previously treated with a therapeutic agent having anti-cancer properties. Such a combination of said antibodies and an ICI are particularly useful in the treatment of cancers, such as head and neck cancer.

The disclosure relates to means and methods of treating a subject for a CLEC12A positive cancer. In some embodiments the method comprises treating the subject in need thereof with two or more administrations of a bispecific antibody that binds CD3 and CLEC12A, wherein in a first administration an first amount of the bispecific antibody is administered and wherein in each of the subsequent administrations the amount of bispecific antibody is higher than the amount of bispecific antibody in the first administration. In some embodiments CLEC12A positive cancer treatment methods are provided at intervals and dosing regimens that spare hemopoietic stem cell compartment allowing for recovery of normal CLEC12A positive hemopoietic cells.
