In some embodiments, the present invention provides an antibody having a heavy chain with an amino acid sequence comprising at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 63 and having a light chain with an amino acid sequence comprising at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 64.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating ovarian cancer are provided. Methods include combined treatment with chemotherapeutic agents and anti-STn antibodies. Chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer cells may be reduced. Chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer cells may include cancer stem cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of testing anti-STn antibodies for their ability target cancer stem cells by isolating cancer stem cells from cultures, contacting them with anti-STn antibodies being tested, and measuring resulting cell viability.

Abstract: Humanized antibodies, including masked antibodies that specifically bind to CD47 are provided. Methods for using anti-CD47 antibodies, including masked antibodies, to modulate activity of (e.g., inhibit proliferation of) a CD47-expressing cell, as well as for the treatment of one or more diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer) associated with CD47-expressing cells, are provided.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or ameliorating the effects of a HER2 positive cancer in a subject. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering a combination therapy comprising an anti-HER2 antibody and tucatinib. In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering a chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., an antimetabolite) to the subject. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits are also provided herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to conjugates of biologically active compounds, wherein such a conjugate is comprised of a sequence of amino acids containing a tripeptide that confers selective cleavage by tumor tissue homogenate for release of free drug and/or improves biodistribution into the tumor tissue in comparison to normal tissue homogenate from the same species, wherein the normal tissue is the site of an adverse event associated with administration to a human subject in need thereof of a therapeutically effective amount of a comparator conjugate whose amino acid sequence is a dipeptide known to be selectively cleavable by Cathepsin B.

Abstract: The invention provides murine, chimeric, and humanized antibodies that specifically bind to GPC3 and conjugates thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of treating cancer, such as myeloid malignancies including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with a nonfucosylated anti-CD70 antibody in combination with a CD47 antagonist.

Abstract: The invention provides humanized antibodies that specifically bind to BCMA. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers and immune disorders as well as detecting BCMA.

Abstract: Compounds and compositions are disclosed in which a Drug Unit is linked to a targeting Ligand Unit through a self-stabilizing Linker Unit from which a drug compound or active drug moiety is released at the targeted site of action. Methods for treating diseases characterized by the targeted abnormal cells, such as cancer or an autoimmune disease using the compounds and compositions of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides modified heavy chain constant regions including a cysteine at position 295 by EU numbering and optionally at position 239 by EU numbering. These cysteine residues provide sites for conjugation to a drug or label. When both cysteines are present in a normal heterodimeric antibody format, there are four such sites per molecule of antibody allowing a stoichiometry of one molecule of antibody to four of drug or label. Selection of the cysteine at position 295 with or without cysteine at position 239 is advantageous over cysteines at many other positions due to ease of expression, stability and cytotoxicity.

Abstract: Compounds and compositions are disclosed in which a NAMPT Drug Unit is conjugated to a targeting Ligand Unit through quaternization by a Linker Unit from which a NAMPT inhibitor compound or derivative thereof is released at the targeted site of action. Methods for treating diseases characterized by the targeted abnormal cells, such as those of cancer or an autoimmune disease, using the compounds and compositions of the invention are also disclosed.
