Abstract: This invention relates to pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs), in particular pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers having a C2-C3 double bond and an aryl group at the C2 position in each monomer unit, and their inclusion in targeted conjugates. The differing substituent groups may offer advantages in the preparation and use of the compounds, particularly in their biological properties and the synthesis of conjugates, and the biological properties of these conjugates.

Abstract: The present application relates to new binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) of N,N-dialkylauristatins that are directed against the target C4.4a, to active metabolites of these ADCs, to processes for preparing these ADCs, to the use of these ADCs for treating and/or preventing illnesses, and also to the use of these ADCs for producing medicaments for treating and/or preventing illnesses, more particularly hyperproliferative and/or angiogenic diseases such as, for example, cancer diseases. Such treatments may be practised as a monotherapy or else in combination with other medicaments or further therapeutic measures.

Abstract: The invention provides humanized antibodies that specifically bind to LIV-1. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers as well as detecting LIV-1.

Abstract: Disclosed are anti-CD70 antibodies and derivatives thereof conjugated to cytotoxic, therapeutic agents, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the antibody- and antibody derivative-drug conjugates. Also disclosed are methods, for the treatment of CD70-expressing a cancer, comprising administering to a subject the disclosed pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 191P4D12 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 191P4D12 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for treating cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an auristatin-based antibody drug conjugate and an inhibitor of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.

Abstract: Disclosed are formulations, including both liquid and lyophilized formulations, comprising a benzodiazepine anti-body-drug conjugate (ADC) and a cyclodextrin. Also disclosed are methods of purifying mixtures comprising benzodiazepine anti-body-drug conjugates and process drug-related impurities.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of purifying mixtures comprising benzoidiazepine antibody-drug conjugates.

Abstract: Provided are Conjugate comprising PBDs conjugated to a targeting agent and methods of using such PBDs.

Abstract: The application provides methods of diagnosis, prognosis, prophylaxis and treatment of ovarian, pancreatic and other cancers using antibodies that specifically bind to denatured CD70.

Abstract: The invention provides humanized antibodies that specifically bind to LIV-1. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers as well as detecting LIV-1.

Abstract: Disclosed are antibodies, including antibody drug conjugates, that specifically bind to NTB-A. Also disclosed are methods for using the anti-NTB-A antibodies to detect or modulate activity of (e.g., inhibit proliferation of) an NTB-A-expressing cell, as well as for diagnoses or treatment of diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer) associated with NTB-A-expressing cells. Further disclosed is a method of treating multiple myeloma using an anti-NTB-A antibody drug conjugate, which optionally includes an anti-NTB-A antibody as disclosed herein.
