Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for treating melanoma and other indications by inhibiting leptin activity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for treating melanoma, comprising:
 administering to a human patient having melanoma, a therapeutically effective amount of a protein that binds to and antagonizes leptin,   wherein the protein is selected from the group consisting of an antibody, an antibody fragment and a soluble receptor for leptin.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protein is an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to and antagonizes leptin. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the protein is a monoclonal antibody or a fragment of a monoclonal antibody. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protein is a soluble receptor for leptin. 
     
     
         5 . A method for treating melanoma, comprising:
 administering to a human patient having melanoma, a therapeutically effective amount of a protein that binds to and antagonizes a leptin receptor,   wherein the protein is selected from the group consisting of an antibody and an antibody fragment.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the protein is an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to and antagonizes the leptin receptor. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the protein is a monoclonal antibody or a fragment of a monoclonal antibody.
