  • Patent number: 11958910
    Abstract: Provided herein are bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind HER2 and methods of use thereof. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first and a second antigen-binding domain, wherein the first and second antigen-binding domains bind to two different (preferably non-overlapping) epitopes of the extracellular domain of human HER2. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules cluster on the surface of HER2 IHC2+ and IHC3+ cells, and are internalized into the cellular lysosomes. Also included are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety, as well as methods of treating cancer in a subject by administering to the subject a bispecific antigen-binding molecule or an ADC thereof.

  • Patent number: 11633501
    Abstract: The protein known as six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 2 (STEAP2) is highly expressed in prostate cancer and is associated with the expression of other prostate cancer-associated genes. The present invention provides novel full-length human IgG antibodies that bind to human STEAP2 (monospecific antibodies). The present invention also provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both STEAP2 and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of STEAP2-expressing tumors. According to certain embodiments, the present invention provides bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human and monkey CD3, and a second antigen-binding molecule that specifically binds humanSTEAP2. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing STEAP2.

  • Patent number: 11608380
    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that bind to the class Ill variant of EGFR (EGFRvIII) and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the antibodies of the invention bind human EGFRvIII with high affinity. The antibodies of the invention may be fully human antibodies. The invention includes anti-EGFRvIII antibodies conjugated to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety detrimental to cell growth or proliferation. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers.

  • Publication number: 20220306758
    Abstract: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed on malignant plasma cells. The present invention provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both BCMA and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of BCMA-expressing tumor cells. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing BCMA. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced BCMA-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including multiple myeloma.

  • Publication number: 20220281994
    Abstract: MAGE-A4, or Melanoma-Associated Antigen A4, is a cancer-testis antigen (CTA) on the X chromosome. The present disclosure provides MAGE-A4-specific chimeric antigen receptors and cells expressing such chimeric antigen receptors. In certain embodiments, engineered cells expressing the chimeric antigen receptors of the present disclosure are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing MAGE-A4. The engineered cells of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced MAGE-A4-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, engineered cells expressing the MAGE-A4-specific chimeric antigen receptors of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of various cancers.

  • Publication number: 20220267477
    Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules and methods of making or selecting same. The multispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds a target molecule, and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds an internalizing effector protein. The multispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention can, in some embodiments, be bispecific antibodies that are capable of binding both a target molecule and an internalizing effector protein. In certain embodiments of the invention, the simultaneous binding of the target molecule and the internalizing effector protein by the multispecific antigen-binding molecule of the present invention results in the attenuation of the activity of the target molecule to a greater extent than the binding of the target molecule alone.
