Abstract: This invention relates to treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Follicular Lymphoma (FL). Specifically, the disclosure provides a method of treating a subject having DLBCL or FL, the method comprising administering to the subject a drug combination consisting essentially of a CD19 antibody drug conjugate (CD19-ADC), and rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (RCHP).

Abstract: The present invention provides improved processes for the preparation of drug-linkers with a ?-glucuronide cleavable unit, as well as intermediates thereof.

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.

Abstract: Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 158P1D7 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 158P1D7 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in glioblastoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The application provides methods of diagnosis, prognosis, prophylaxis and treatment of CD30+ cancers.

Abstract: Isolated antibodies that bind to human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody has a binding affinity (KD) for human TIGIT of less than 5 nM. In some embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibody blocks binding of CD155 and/or CD112 to TIGIT. In some embodiments, the antibodies are afucosylated.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for the inhibition of fucosylation of proteins, including antibodies, in vivo by administration of a fucose analog.

Abstract: The present invention provides variant target binding agents and methods relating to the use of such binding agents for the prophylaxis or treatment of cancers and immunological disorders. The variant target binding agent is conjugated to a therapeutic agent that exerts a cytotoxic, cytostatic, or immunomodulatory effect on target cells.

Abstract: The invention is based in part on the observation that a CHO cell oxidizing enzyme, particularly QSOX1, can survive a seemingly rigorous antibody purification process to reduce subsequent conjugation efficiency of the antibody to a drug. Whether the oxidizing enzyme survives the purification procedure depends on which purification techniques are employed which can vary from one antibody to another. With knowledge that contamination with a CHO cell oxidizing enzyme is a potential problem for subsequent conjugation, a suitable purification scheme can be devised for any antibody that eliminates or at least reduces CHO oxidizing enzyme(s) to an acceptable level.

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

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: Isolated antibodies or antigen-binding portions that bind to human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof has a binding affinity (KD) for human TIGIT of less than 5 nM. In some embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibody blocks binding of CD155 and/or CD112 to TIGIT.

Abstract: The invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to integrin ?v?6. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers as well as detecting ?v?6.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of CD30-expressing cancers are provided. The methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a weekly dose of from about 0.8 mg/kg to about 1.8 mg/kg of an antibody-drug conjugate compound having formula (I); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein: mAb is an anti-CD30 antibody unit, S is a sulfur atom of the antibody, A- is a Stretcher unit, and p is from about 3 to about 5.

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: Methods of treating cancer are provided that include administering glycan-interacting antibodies. Included are anti-sialyl Tn antigen antibodies and related compositions and formulations suitable to achieve desirable bioactivity, bioavailability, and toxicity levels.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved processes for the preparation of auristatin drug-linkers with a PEG unit, as well as intermediates thereof.

Abstract: This disclosure provides optimized formulations for CD19 antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)

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.

Abstract: The invention provides bivalent antibodies including two light and heavy chain pairs. The N-termini of one or both light and heavy chain pairs are linked via linkers comprising a protease cleavage site to coiled-coil forming peptides that associate to form a coiled coil reducing binding affinity of at least one light-heavy chain pair to a target.
