Publication number: 20240409661Abstract: The present invention relates to antibodies and their fragments that are immunoreactive to the mammalian, and more particularly, the human B7-H3 receptor and to uses thereof, particularly in the treatment of cancer and inflammation. The invention thus particularly concerns humanized B7-H3-reactive antibodies and their immunoreactive fragments that are capable of mediating, and more preferably enhancing the activation of the immune system against cancer cells that are associated with a variety of human cancers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Leslie S. Johnson, Paul A. Moore, Ling Huang, Deryk T. Loo, Francine Zhifen Chen

Publication number: 20240165256Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating cancer in a subject who has an increased level of ADAM9 expression. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-ADAM9 immunoconjugate. Also provided is a method of increasing the efficacy of cancer treatment with an anti-ADAM9 immunoconjugate in a subject who has an increased level of ADAM9 expression.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Eric Henry Westin, Callum Sloss, Krystal Marie Watkins, Deryk T. Loo, Juniper A. Scribner, Francine Zhifen Chen

Patent number: 10858430Abstract: The present invention is directed to bi-specific monovalent diabodies that comprise two polypeptide chains and which possess at least one binding site specific for an epitope of CD3 and one binding site specific for an epitope of gpA33 (i.e., a “gpA33×CD3 bi-specific monovalent diabody”). The present invention also is directed to bi-specific monovalent diabodies that comprise an immunoglobulin Fc Domain (“bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies”) and are composed of three polypeptide chains and which possess at least one binding site specific for an epitope of gpA33 and one binding site specific for an epitope of CD3 (i.e., a “gpA33×CD3 bi-specific monovalent Fc diabody”). The bi-specific monovalent diabodies and bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies of the present invention are capable of simultaneous binding to gpA33 and CD3. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions that contain such bi-specific monovalent diabodies or such bi-specific monovalent Fc diabodies.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: MacroGenics, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Moore, Jonathan Li, Francine Zhifen Chen, Leslie S. Johnson, Kalpana Shah, Ezio Bonvini
