  • Patent number: 8945566
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for increasing the bioactivity (e.g. the biosafety and efficacy) of a therapeutic IgE antibody of the invention in the treatment of a patient. Methods of the invention include: i) administering to the patient a therapeutic IgE antibody in combination with at least one bioactivity-enhancing agent, ii) strategic treatment regimens and protocols for the dosing and administration of a therapeutic IgE antibody of the invention, and iii) the use of a therapeutic IgE antibody having a variable region comprising at least one antigen binding region specific for binding an epitope of an antigen wherein the epitope is not highly repetitive or is non-repetitive.

  • Patent number: 8697079
    Abstract: The present invention provides monoclonal IgE antibodies comprising Fc epsilon (?) constant regions and variable regions comprising at least one antigen binding region specific for binding a single epitope of a circulating, tumor-associated antigen (TAA) that is not a cell surface antigen wherein the epitope of the targeted antigen is not highly repetitive or is a non-repetitive epitope. The IgE antibodies of the invention are useful in the treatment of cancer associated with the tumor antigen. In one embodiment the TAA is prostate-specific antigen (PSA).

  • Patent number: 8038994
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating cancer comprising administering a xenotypic antibody and a chemotherapeutic drug to a patient suffering from cancer. Also disclosed is a method for inducing a host immune response in a patient against a multi-epitopic in vivo tumor antigen present in the host serum, which antigen does not elicit an effective host immune response, comprising administering to the patient a chemotherapeutic drug and a composition comprising a binding agent that specifically binds to a first epitope on the antigen and allowing the binding agent to form a binding agent/antigen pair, wherein an effective host immune response is elicited against a second epitope on the antigen.

  • Publication number: 20090291075
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions for administering a binding agent to a patient wherein the patient generates a response to autologous tumor. The binding agents target apoptotic tumor cells and facilitates the uptake of these apoptotic tumor cell are taken up by dendritic cells or other antigen presenting cells for processing and presentation to the immune system without the expression of circulating tumor-associated antigen (or without the need of circulating tumor antigen).
