Abstract: The present disclosure relates to near-infrared (NIR) photoimmunotherapy (PIT) for treating a subject having a cancer, such as a cancer comprising a first tumor or a primary tumor, metastatic tumor cells and/or invasive tumor cells. The method includes administering to the subject a targeting molecule that binds CD25 conjugated with phthalocyanine dye, such as IR700, and administering an immune checkpoint inhibitor such as an anti PD-1 antibody, followed by illuminating the first tumor or primary tumor with a wavelength of light suitable for the activation of the phthalocyanine dye.

Abstract: Provided are methods involving the use of biomarkers, in relation to photoimmunotherapy, such as photoimmunotherapy induced by activation of a phthalocyanine dye conjugated to a targeting molecule that binds a protein on tumor cell, for example, an IR700-antibody conjugate, and combination therapies, for example, that include photoimmunotherapy and an additional therapeutic agent, such as an immune modulating agent. In some aspects, the provided embodiments can be used to identify or select subjects for photoimmunotherapy and/or the combination therapy, or to assess the likelihood of response to photoimmunotherapy and/or to the additional therapeutic agents. Features of the methods and uses provide various advantages, such as improved efficacy. In some aspects, the provided embodiments can be used to provide personalized medicine and tailored therapy regimens for subjects.

Abstract: Provided herein are conjugates, compositions and methods for use in photoimmunotherapy, such as photoimmunotherapy induced by activation of a phthalocyanine dye conjugated to a targeting molecule that binds a protein on cell, for example, an IR700-antibody conjugate. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine-dye conjugate can be activated by irradiation with near-infrared light. Features of the conjugates, compositions and methods, including the dose of the conjugate, provide various advantages, such as lower toxicity and/or improved efficacy. In some embodiments, also provided is a dual label phthalocyanine-dye conjugate in which the targeting molecule is conjugated to an additional fluorescent dye, which can be used for photoimmunotherapy while, for example, also exhibiting improved performance for imaging or detection. Also provided are therapeutic methods using the conjugates and compositions for treatment of diseases and conditions, including tumors or cancers.

Abstract: Provided are methods for manufacturing a conjugate containing a phthalocyanine dye, including methods that include one or more steps of preparing or producing the conjugate, formulating the conjugate and packaging the conjugate. In some aspects, the manufacturing methods result in the generation of a stable conjugate. Also provided are stable phthalocyanine dye conjugates, compositions and articles of manufacture containing the stable conjugates, and methods for their administration to subjects for photoimmunotherapy. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine dye conjugates are conjugated to a targeting molecule, such as an antibody, that targets the conjugate to a cell or pathogen, such as by binding to a cell surface protein.

Abstract: Modifications in the sequence of Aequorea wild-type GFP provide products having markedly different excitation and emission spectra from corresponding products from wild-type GFP. In one class of modifications, the product derived from the modified GFP exhibits an alteration in the ratio of two main excitation peaks observed with the product derived from wild-type GFP. In another class, the product derived from the modified GFP fluoresces at a shorter wavelength than the corresponding product from wild-type GFP. In yet another class of modifications, the product derived from the modified GFP exhibits only a single excitation peak and enhanced emission relative to the product derived from wild-type GFP.
