Provided herein are method of treating cancer using bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind to Mucin 16 (MUC16) and CD3. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies useful herein bind human MUC16 with high affinity and bind CD3 to induce human T cell proliferation. According to certain embodiments, bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human CD3, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds human MUC16 are particularly useful herein. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules in combination with an anti-4-1BB agonist are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing MUC16, for example, ovarian tumors. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules in combination with an anti-4-1BB agonist are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial, for example, in the treatment of various cancers. |
