  • Publication number: 20200207850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Tri-Specific Binding Molecules, which are multi-chain polypeptide molecules that possess three Binding Domains and are thus capable of mediating coordinated binding to three epitopes. The Binding Domains may be selected such that the Tri-Specific Binding Molecules are capable of binding to any three different epitopes. Such epitopes may be epitopes of the same antigen or epitopes of two or three different antigens. In a preferred embodiment, one of such epitopes will be capable of binding to CD3, the second of such epitopes will be capable of binding to CD8, and the third of such epitopes will be capable of binding to an epitope of a Disease-Associated Antigen. The invention also provides a novel ROR1-binding antibody, as well as derivatives thereof and uses for such compositions.

  • Publication number: 20200062854
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to binding molecules that possess one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or more epitope-binding sites specific for an epitope of a tumor antigen (“TA”) (e.g., a “CD137×TA Binding Molecule”). In one embodiment, such CD137×TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific tetravalent diabodies, that are composed of two, three, four or more than four polypeptide chains and possessing two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of CD137 and two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of a TA. Alternatively, such CD137×TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific trivalent binding molecules composed of three or more polypeptide chains and possessing one or two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of CD137 and one or two epitope-binding sites each specific for an epitope of a TA.

  • Publication number: 20180155423
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bispecific molecules that are capable of localizing an immune effector cell that expresses an activating receptor to a virally infected cell, so as to thereby facilitate the killing of the virally infected cell. In a preferred embodiment, such localization is accomplished using bispecific molecules that are immunoreactive with an activating receptor of an immune effector cell and to an antigen expressed by a cell infected with a virus wherein the antigen is detectably present on the cell infected with the virus at a level that is greater than the level at which the antigen is detected on the virus by the bispecific molecules, and to the use of such bispecific molecules in the treatment of latent viral infections.

  • Publication number: 20180148497
    Abstract: The invention is directed to bispecific molecules comprising an HIV-1 envelope targeting arm and an arm targeting an effector cell, compositions comprising these bispecific molecules and methods of use. In certain aspects, the bispecific molecules of the present invention can bind to two different targets or epitopes on two different cells wherein the first epitope is expressed on a different cell type than the second epitope, such that the bispecific molecules can bring the two cells together. In certain aspects, the bispecific molecules of the present invention can bind to two different cells, wherein the bispecific molecules comprises an arm with the binding specificity of A32, 7B2, CH27, CH28, or CH44.

  • Publication number: 20170157251
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combination therapy involving the administration of: (1) a bi-specific molecule capable of specifically binding to CD19 and to CD3 (i.e., a CD19×CD3 bi-specific molecule), and (2) a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor for the treatment of disease, in particular treatment of a disease associated with or characterized by the expression of CD19. Preferably, such a CD19×CD3 bi-specific molecules are bi-specific monovalent diabodies. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions that contain such a CD19×CD3 bi-specific molecule, a BTK inhibitor, or a combination of such agents. The invention is additionally directed to methods for the use of such pharmaceutical compositions in the treatment of disease, in particular, treatment of a cancer associated with or characterized by the expression of CD19.
