  • Patent number: 9421256
    Abstract: Disclosed are human antibodies that specifically inhibit VEGF binding to only one (VEGFR2) of the two primary VEGF receptors. The antibodies effectively inhibit angiogenesis and induce tumor regression, and yet have improved safety due to their specificity. The present invention thus provides new human antibody-based compositions, methods and combined protocols for treating cancer and other angiogenic diseases. Advantageous immunoconjugate compositions and methods using the new VEGF-specific human antibodies are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8637017
    Abstract: Disclosed are antibodies that bind to Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) and display certain advantages over known antibodies which bind to EpCAM, for example, the antibodies of the invention show good affinity, good cross-reactivity profiles and excellent ADCC and CDCC activity. Antibodies comprising specific heavy and light chain CDRs are disclosed. The invention thus relates to these antibodies and all uses thereof, in particular in the treatment of cancer. The present invention thus provides new antibody-based compositions, methods and combined protocols for treating cancer. Advantageous immunoconjugate compositions and methods using the new anti-EpCAM antibodies are also provided.
