  • Patent number: 12180262
    Abstract: The instant invention provides binding proteins (“CD38-binding proteins”) which each comprise (1) a CD38-binding region for cell-targeting and (2) a Shiga toxin A Subunit effector polypeptide (“Shiga toxin effector polypeptide”). The Shiga toxin effector polypeptide components of the CD38-binding proteins may comprise a combination of mutations relative to a wild-type Shiga toxin sequence providing (1) de-immunization and/or (2) a reduction in protease sensitivity; wherein each Shiga toxin effector polypeptide retains one or more Shiga toxin function, such as, e.g., stimulating cellular internalization, directing intracellular routing, catalytic activity, and/or potent cytotoxicity. The CD38-binding proteins may have one or multiple uses, e.g., the selective killing of a specific CD38-expressing cell-type; and more generally, for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and disorders involving CD38-expressing cells, e.g., in CD38-positive hematopoietic cancers such as multiple myeloma.

  • Patent number: 12053514
    Abstract: The invention encompasses therapeutic compositions including Globo H-KLH conjugates and/or therapeutic antibodies as well as methods of making and using the same to treat proliferative diseases such as cancer. The therapeutic conjugates include an antigen linked to a carrier. In particular the therapeutic conjugates include a Globo H moiety and a KLH moiety and/or a derivatized KLH moiety subunit optionally linked via a linker. The therapeutic compositions are in part envisaged to act as cancer vaccines for boosting the body's natural ability to protect itself, through the immune system from dangers posed by damaged or abnormal cells such as cancer cells. An effective immune response is one that reduces the severity of disease, including but not limited to, prevention of disease, delay in onset of disease, decreased severity of symptoms, decreased morbidity and delayed mortality.
