A therapeutic method for inhibiting tumor development or growth, comprising administering an agent capable of inhibiting human delta-like ligand 4 (DII4) activity to a subject in need thereof. In one embodiment, the agent is an anti- DII4 antibody or antibody fragment capable of inhibiting the binding of DII4 to a Notch receptor. In another embodiment, the agent is a fusion protein comprising the extracellular domain of DII4 or a fragment or variant thereof, fused to a multimerizing component such as an Fc domain. The method of the invention is useful for inhibiting tumor growth, particularly in tumors which are not responsive to other therapeutic agents.

La présente invention concerne un procédé thérapeutique pour l'inhibition du développement ou de la croissance de tumeurs, comprenant l'administration d'un agent apte à l'inhibition de l'activité du ligand Delta-4 humain (Dll4) à un sujet qui en a besoin. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'agent est un anticorps ou un fragment d'anticorps anti-Dll4 capable d'inhiber la liaison de Dll4 à un récepteur Notch. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'agent est une protéine hybride comprenant le domaine extracellulaire de Dll4 ou un fragment ou variant de celui-ci, fusionnée à une composant de multimérisation tel qu'un domaine Fc. Le procédé de l'invention est utile pour l'inhibition de la croissance tumorale, notamment dans des tumeurs qui ne sont pas sensibles à d'autres agents thérapeutiques.
