  • Publication number: 20230322933
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to combinations for use in therapeutic systems and antibody dosage regimens, and uses thereof. Also described herein is a model for predicting if a therapeutic antibody binding to a human target will be associated with a tolerability issue in connection with intravenous administration and/or for predicting if pre-treatment, altered administration route or modification of the antibody can prevent a tolerability issue associated with intravenous administration to a human of the therapeutic antibody. The model comprises administering the antibody intravenously or intraperitoneally to mice and observing the mice immediately after the administration for any transient display of the macroscopic symptoms isolation and decreased activity.

  • Publication number: 20220002426
    Abstract: Described are novel antibody molecules that specifically bind to TNFR2 on a target cell and thereby agonize TNFR2, but that do not block the ligand TNF-? from binding to the TNFR2. Also described is the use of such antibody molecules in medicine, i.a, in treatment of cancer or chronic inflammatory diseases.

  • Publication number: 20210346498
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express Fc?RIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding Fc?RIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and Fc?RIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of Fc?RIIb.

  • Publication number: 20200362036
    Abstract: Described is the use of a first antibody molecule that specifically binds Fc?RIIb via its Fab region, but lacks Fc region or has reduced binding to Fc? receptors via its Fc region, for use in combination with a second antibody molecule that specifically binds to a receptor present on an immune cell, wherein the immune cell is an immune cell that suppresses anti-cancer immunity, which second antibody molecule has an Fc region that binds to at least one activating Fc? receptor, and wherein the binding of the second antibody molecule to the receptor on the immune cell causes depletion and/or deactivation of the immune cell in the treatment of an Fc?RIIb-negative cancer in a patient, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising these to antibody molecules, and methods of treating cancer using these two antibodies.
