  • Publication number: 20210309755
    Abstract: Mesothelin (MSLN) is expressed on pancreatic cancers, ovarian cancers and mesotheliomas. The present disclosure provides antigen-binding molecules, including anti-MSLN antibodies, and bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind to both MSLN and a T cell antigen (e.g., CD3) and activate T cells in the presence of MSLN-expressing tumor cells. The antigen-binding molecules of this disclosure are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which a MSLN-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the antigen-binding molecules of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and mesotheliomas.

  • Publication number: 20200148767
    Abstract: Anti-CD33 antibodies are described. The anti-CD33 antibodies can bind within the V-set Ig-like domain or the C2-set Ig-like domain of CD33. Epitopes on the C2-set Ig-like domain can provide a “pan-binding” site, to which the cognate antibody will bind regardless of whether the CD33 molecule also contains the V-set domain (as in, for example, CD33FL) or not (as in, for example, CD33?E2). Alternative epitopes on the C2-set Ig-like domain are accessible for binding if the V-set domain is absent (e.g., as in CD33?E2). Antibodies that bind an epitope on the C2-set Ig-like domain (whether they exhibit pan or V-set absent binding) are directed at novel therapeutic targets and can increase therapeutic efficacy against CD33-related disorders. Also described are molecules comprising a binding-competent domain from at least one described anti-CD33 antibody, including scFvs, bi-specific antibody molecules, chimeric antigen receptors, and immunoconjugates. Methods of use are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190233534
    Abstract: Groups of bi-specific binding domain constructs (BS-BDC) to treat cancer are described. Each BS-BDC in a group targets a cancer antigen epitope and an immune cell activating epitope that is different from the cancer antigen epitope and immune cell activating epitope targeted by another BS-BDC in the group. The different cancer antigen epitopes can be on the same cancer antigen.
