  • Publication number: 20240166705
    Abstract: Provided herein are variant human IL18 proteins including proteins and constructs including such. Various variant IL18 proteins with modifications to reduce heterogeneity and/or reduce affinity/potency and/or improve stability and/or improve production yield are also described. Also provided are IL18-Fc fusion proteins that include an empty-Fc domain and an IL18 protein connected to another Fc domain. Also provided herein are IL18Fc fusion proteins that bind CD3 and a tumor target antigen.

  • Patent number: 11919956
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel antigen binding domains and antibodies (e.g., heterodimeric antibodies) that bind Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA). In exemplary embodiments, the anti-PSMA antibodies also bind CD3. Such antibodies that bind PSMA and CD3 are useful, for example in the treatment of PSMA-related cancer.

  • Publication number: 20230322961
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-PSMA antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of PSMA-associated cancers. Subject anti-CD28×anti-PSMA antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and PSMA on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful in combination with other anti-cancer therapies (e.g., anti-CD3×anti-PSMA antibodies) for the treatment of prostate cancers.
