  • Patent number: 11919958
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-B7H3 (also referred to as “?CD28×?B7H3”) heterodimeric bispecific antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of cancers. Subject ?CD28×?B7H3 antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and targeting to B7H3 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 for enhancing anti-tumor activity when used in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.

  • 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: 20230383012
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel ?PD-L1, ?PD-L2, and ?CD28 antibodies. In some embodiments, the antibodies are ?PD-L1×?PD-L2×?CD28 antibodies. Such antibodies enhance anti-tumor activity by providing a costimulatory signal for T-cell activation against tumor cells while advantageously also blocking inhibitory PD-L1:PD1 and/or PD-L2:PD1 pathway interactions.

  • Publication number: 20230340128
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28×anti-MSLN antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of MSLN-associated cancers. Subject anti-CD28×anti-MSLN antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and MSLN 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, including, for example, bispecific antibodies for the treatment of MSLN-associated cancers (e.g., ovarian cancers).

  • Publication number: 20230055445
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel PD-1 targeted heterodimeric Fc fusion proteins comprising an IL-15/IL-15R? Fc-fusion protein and a PD-1 antibody fragment-Fc fusion protein. In some embodiments, the PD-1 targeted IL-15/R?-Fc fusion proteins are administered to a patient to treat cancer. In some embodiments, the PD-1 targeted IL-15/R?-Fc fusion proteins are administered in combination with a PD-1 blockade antibody such as nivolumab and/or pembrolizumab. In some embodiments, the PD-1 targeted IL-15/R?-Fc fusion proteins do not compete with a PD-1 blockade antibody such as nivolumab and/or pembrolizumab for antigen binding.
