  • Patent number: 11918649
    Abstract: Provided herein are PD-L1 binding molecules comprising or conjugated to a toxin, e.g. a Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptide. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are cytotoxic. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are capable of delivering a CD8+ T-cell epitope to an MHC class molecule inside a PD-L1 positive cell. The PD-L1 binding molecules described herein have uses for selectively killing specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells and/or immune cells); for selectively delivering cargos to specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells), and as therapeutic and/or diagnostic molecules for treating and diagnosing a variety of conditions, including cancers and tumors involving PD-L1 expressing cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells).

  • Publication number: 20220195050
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to PD-L1-binding molecules comprising a Shiga toxin effector region, a PD-L1-binding region, and a T cell epitope, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The PD-L1 binding molecules and pharmaceutical compositions thereof have uses for selectively killing specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells and/or immune cells), for selectively delivering cargos to specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells), and as therapeutics for treating or slowing the progression of cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer or squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck). The present disclosure also relates to clinical methods for use of the disclosed PD-L1 binding molecules for treating a subject in need thereof.

  • Publication number: 20210324082
    Abstract: Provided herein are PD-L1 binding molecules comprising Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptides and methods of using the same. Certain PD-L1 targeting molecules embodiments are cytotoxic. Certain PD-L1 targeting molecules embodiments exhibit reduced immunogenic potential in mammals and/or are capable of delivering an immunogenic epitope to an MHC class I molecule of a PD-L1 positive cell. Certain PD-L1 targeting molecules embodiments are well-tolerated by mammals while retaining one or more of the features mentioned above. The PD-L1 targeting molecules have uses for selectively killing specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor and/or immune cells); for selectively delivering cargos to specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor and/or immune cells), and as therapeutic and/or diagnostic molecules for treating and diagnosing a variety of conditions, including cancers and tumors involving PD-L1 expressing cells.
