  • Publication number: 20230331845
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel full-length human antibodies that bind to human Fc epsilon-R1 alpha (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both Fc epsilon-R1 alpha and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-expressing cells. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced Fc epsilon-R1 alpha-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of allergies, including anaphylaxis.

  • Publication number: 20230322927
    Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antibodies that bind to EGFR and CD28 (EGFRxCD28) as well as anti-EGFR antibodies. Such antibodies may be combined with a further therapeutic agent such as an anti-PD1 antibody. Methods for treating cancers (e.g., EGFR-expressing cancer) by administering the antibodies (e.g., and combinations thereof with anti-PD1) are also provided. The EGFRxCD28 antibodies of the present invention embody a tumor-targeted immunotherapeutic modality combined with PD-1 inhibition. These bispecific antibodies bind a tumor-specific antigen (TSA) (EGFR) with one arm and the co-stimulatory receptor, CD28, on T-cells with the other arm. Combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitors specifically potentiated intra-tumoral T cell activation, promoting an effector memory-like T cell phenotype without systemic cytokine secretion in a variety of syngeneic and human tumor xenograft models.

  • Patent number: 11767358
    Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies that bind Fagales allergens, Fagales related allergens, birch pollen, or Bet v 1, compositions comprising the antibodies, nucleic acids encoding the antibodies, and methods of using the antibodies. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies are fully human monoclonal antibodies that bind to Bet v 1. The antibodies are useful for binding Bet v 1 in vivo, thus preventing binding of the allergen to pre-formed IgE on the surface of mast cells or basophils. In doing so, the antibodies act to prevent the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and/or basophils, thus ameliorating the untoward response to the Fagales allergens in sensitized individuals.

  • Patent number: 11760889
    Abstract: Sulfate and sulfonate derivatives of unsaturated fatty alcohols, processes for making them, and methods of using them are disclosed. In one aspect, a monounsaturated fatty alcohol composition is made by reducing a metathesis-derived monounsaturated alkyl ester. The fatty alcohol composition is then converted to a sulfate or sulfonate derivative by one or more of alkoxylation, sulfation, sulfonation, and sulfitation. Of particular interest are the sulfate and ether sulfate derivatives. Microscopy studies indicate that the unsaturated sodium sulfates in particular have a lamellar phase that should enable formulation at high actives levels. Sulfate compositions comprising 40 to 60 wt. % of a monounsaturated fatty primary alcohol sulfate and 40 to 60 wt. % of a secondary hydroxyalkyl primary alcohol sulfate are also disclosed.
