  • Patent number: 12221463
    Abstract: A method of treating a skin wound in a subject by administering at least one inhibitor of C-C chemokine receptor type-3 (CCR3) and/or at least one inhibitor of a CCR3 ligand, thereby causing increased activity of keratinocytes adjacent the skin wound, wherein epithelialization of the skin wound is promoted, and wherein the increased activity of keratinocytes is at least one of (1) increased proliferation of the keratinocytes and (2) increased migration of the keratinocytes adjacent the skin wound. The skin wound may be a chronic wound or an acute wound for example.

  • Patent number: 12214049
    Abstract: A method of producing synergistic and enhanced efficacy in treating a disease in a subject includes providing an antibody, the antibody being a classic antibody or a modified biologic molecule that blocks a first target in the subject; providing a drug, the drug being a small molecule agent that blocks the first target or a second target in the subject; connecting the antibody and the drug with a linker to form an Antibody-Drug Synergism (ADS) compound; and treating the disease with the ADS compound. The linker is hydrolyzed in the subject over a certain time so that both the antibody and the drug exert their functions simultaneously, and the ADS compound confers better efficacy than either the antibody or the drug alone due to a synergism of the ADS compound.

  • Patent number: 12215158
    Abstract: Relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has a dismal outcome, and no effective targeted immunotherapies for T-ALL exist. The extension of chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CARTs) to T-ALL remains challenging because the shared expression of target antigens between CARTs and T-ALL blasts leads to CARTs fratricide. CD 1a is exclusively expressed in cortical T-ALLs, a major subset of T-ALL. The expression of CD 1a is restricted to cortical thymocytes and neither CD34+ progenitors nor T-cells express CD 1a during ontogeny, confining the risk of on-target/off-tumor toxicity. The present invention provides CARs comprising a CD 1a-targeting moiety which may be transduced or transformed into T cells. The resultant CARTs are suitable for the treatment of cortical T-ALLs.
