  • Publication number: 20240117073
    Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to amplified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.

  • Patent number: 9283276
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies, particularly antibody 175, and fragments thereof or antibodies derived therefrom, which bind to the EGF receptor, particularly to amplified or overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Recombinant or hybrid antibodies having the variable region heavy or light chain sequence(s) of antibody 175 are also provided. The antibodies of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.

  • Patent number: 9169329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies that specifically bind to unprocessed c-Met present on the surface of tumor cells. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer or as agents for delivering moieties to cancer cells. The antibodies of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents.

  • Patent number: 9023356
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of EGFR-mediated disease, particularly cancer by inhibiting or blocking EGFR and src in combination or simultaneously. The invention relates to treatment, prevention, or modulation of cancer, particularly EGFR-mediated disease, with one or more EGFR modulator and src inhibitor in combination. The invention further relates to the treatment of cancer with anti-EGFR antibodies and src inhibitors. Methods and compositions for treatment of cancer with the antibody anti-EGFR mAb806 in combination or series with a src inhibitor or src inhibitors are described.

  • Publication number: 20140322130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, which bind to EGFR on tumor cells that overexpress EGFR, and on tumor cells that express the truncated version of the EGFR receptor, de2-7 EGF. In particular, the epitope recognized by the specific binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, is enhanced or evident upon aberrant post-translational modification. These specific binding members are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The binding members of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.

  • Publication number: 20140255410
    Abstract: The invention relates to specific binding members, particularly antibodies and active fragments thereof, which recognize an aberrant post-translationally modified, particularly an aberrant glycosylated form of the EGFR. The binding members, particularly antibodies and fragments thereof, of the invention do not bind to EGFR on normal cells in the absence of amplification of the wild-type gene and are capable of binding the de2-7 EGFR at an epitope which is distinct from the junctional peptide. Antibodies of this type are exemplified by the novel antibody 806 whose VH and VL sequences are illustrated as SEQ ID NOs: 2 and 4 and chimeric antibodies thereof as exemplified by ch806.

  • Patent number: 8652473
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to growth factor receptor epitope peptides, particularly EGF family receptor epitope peptides. The invention also relates to the use of the receptor peptides in generating antibodies which have anti-tumor or anti-cancer activity or in stimulating an immunological response. The invention further relates to antibodies specifically directed against the receptor peptides. Methods for generating an immune response and for treatment of tumors and cancer are also provided.
