  • Publication number: 20200291135
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies (e.g., humanized antibodies) that specifically bind to Mer Tyrosine Kinase (MERTK; e.g., human MERTK) and compositions comprising such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides antibody-drug conjugates comprising (i) an anti-MERTK antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof described herein that specifically binds to MERTK (e.g., human MERTK), and (ii) cytotoxic agents conjugated directly to the antibodies or conjugated to the antibodies via linkers, and compositions comprising such antibody-drug conjugates. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating cancer, comprising administering to a human subject in need thereof (a) an anti-MERTK antibody that specifically binds to MERTK (e.g., human MERTK) or an antigen-binding fragment thereof described herein, or (b) an antibody-drug conjugate that comprises (i) an anti-MERTK antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to MERTK (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20200255543
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibody-drug conjugates comprising (i) antibodies that specifically bind to Mer Tyrosin Kinase (MERTK) (e.g., human MERTK, or both human and mouse MERTK), and (ii) cytotoxic agents conjugated directly to the antibodies or conjugated to the antibodies via linkers, and compositions comprising such antibody-drug conjugates, wherein the antibodies contained in the antibody-drug conjugates agonize MERTK signaling of endothelial cells. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating cancer, by administering an antibody-drug conjugate that comprises (i) an antibody that specifically binds to MERTK and agonizes MERTK signaling of endothelial cells, and (ii) a cytotoxic agent conjugated directly to the antibody or conjugated to the antibody via a linker.

  • Patent number: 10512623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical salts of ?-GPA which exhibit improved physical properties. In particular, the invention relates to salts of ?-GPA with improved flow properties (e.g., improved Carr's index and/or Hausner ratio) such as fumarate salts, succinate salts, and oxalate salts. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions including a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more salts of ?-GPA, as well as methods of treating cancer including administration of a formulation including a ?-GPA salt of the invention to a subject in need thereof.
