Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns a method for suppressing bone marrow which comprises administering to a mammal at least one bone marrow suppressing complex of a radionuclide selected from the group consisting of Samarium-153, Gadolinium-159, Holmium-166 and Yttrium-90 and at least one macrocyclic aminophosphonic acid ligand containing the 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane moiety, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof. Suitable compositions for use in this method are also provided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim 70 words
A method for suppressing bone marrow which comprises administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a bone marrow suppressing amount of a bone marrow suppressing composition comprising the radionuclide Yttrium-90 complexed with at least one macrocyclic aminophosphonic acid ligand containing a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacylododecane moiety and wherein the phosphonic acid functionality is attached to the nitrogen of the macrocyclic polyamine through an alkylene group or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 70 words
A method for suppressing bone marrow which comprises administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a bone marrow suppressing amount of a bone marrow suppressing composition comprising the radionuclide Yttrium-90 complexed with at least one macrocyclic aminophosphonic acid ligand containing a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacylododecane moiety and wherein the phosphonic acid functionality is attached to the nitrogen of the macrocyclic polyamine through an alkylene group or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the ligand is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecanetetrmethylenephosphonic acid or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 43 words
The method of claim 1 used in conjunction with an additional treatment regimen using at least one of (a) one or more bone marrow suppressing agents, and/or (b) one or more chemotherapeutic agents, and/or (c) one or more radiotherapeutic agents or radiotherapeutic methods.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 1 used in conjunction with total body irradiation or targeted external irradiation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 1 including the additional step of bone marrow transplantation after sufficient bone marrow suppression is achieved.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 1 used in conjunction with a treatment employing at least one chemotherapeutic agent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is selected from dimethyl busulfan, cyclophosphamide, bischloroethyl nitrosourea, cytosine arabinoside, and 6-thioguanine.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1 used in conjunction with total body irradiation and with a treatment employing at least one chemotherapeutic agent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 8 wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is selected from dimethyl busulfan, cyclophosphamide, bischloroethyl nitrosourea, cytosine arabinoside, and 6-thioguanine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method of claim 1 used in conjunction with one or more therapeutic regimens for the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma or Hodgkin's disease.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the disease being treated is a leukemia.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the disease being treated is a lymphoma.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the disease being treated is a myeloma.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 10 wherein the disease being treated is Hodgkin's disease.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 80 words
A sterile composition suitable for administration to a mammal for suppressing bone marrow comprising the radionuclide Yttrium-90 complexed with at least one macrocycle aminophosphonic acid ligand containing the 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane moiety or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the phosphorous of said ligand is attached to the amine nitrogen through an alkylene moiety and wherein the radionuclide in dosage form is present in an amount containing from about 18 to about 1850 megabecquerels per kilogram of body weight of said mammal.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 80 words
A sterile composition suitable for administration to a mammal for suppressing bone marrow comprising the radionuclide Yttrium-90 complexed with at least one macrocycle aminophosphonic acid ligand containing the 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane moiety or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the phosphorous of said ligand is attached to the amine nitrogen through an alkylene moiety and wherein the radionuclide in dosage form is present in an amount containing from about 18 to about 1850 megabecquerels per kilogram of body weight of said mammal.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 16 words
The composition of claim 15 wherein the ligand to radionuclide ratio is from 1:1 to 2:1.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 14 words
A pharmaceutical formulation comprising the composition of claim 15 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 25 words
The composition of claim 15 wherein the dosage form contains from about 185 to about 1850 mega-becquerels per kilogram of body weight of said mammal.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim 12 words
The composition of claim 18 wherein the macrocyclic ligand is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacylododecanetetramethylenephosphonic acid.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim 12 words

Claim 23
Dependent Claim 14 words
A pharmaceutical formulation comprising the composition of claim 20 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
