Patents by Inventor Frank J. Calzone

Frank J. Calzone has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11629184
    Abstract: This application provides isolated antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). These anti-CGRP antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have a high affinity for CGRP, function to inhibit CGRP, are less immunogenic compared to their unmodified parent antibodies in a given species (e.g., a human) and can be used to treat CGRP-associated disorders, while avoiding the adverse side effects associated with the current CGRP antagonist therapies.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignee: REMD Biotherapeutics, Inc.
    Inventors: Frank J Calzone, John Zhang
  • Patent number: 11332531
    Abstract: This application provides isolated antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1). These PD-L1 antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have a high affinity for PD-L1, function to inhibit PD-L1, are less immunogenic compared to their unmodified parent antibodies in a given species (e.g., a human), are capable of increasing T-cell proliferation and IL-2 secretion in a mixed lymphocyte reaction, and can be used to treat human diseases (e.g., cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, asthma, transplant rejection, and inflammatory disorders).

  • Patent number: 11078288
    Abstract: The present invention provides, in part, methods for treating a tumor in a human subject comprising inhibiting IGF-1 receptor signaling, methods of determining whether a tumor is more or less likely to respond to such treatment, and compositions for practicing such methods. In particular embodiments, the invention provides fully human, humanized, or chimeric anti-IGF-1R antibodies that bind human IGF-1R, IGF-1R-binding fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, and IGF-1R-binding polypeptides comprising such fragments. Other embodiments provide nucleic acids encoding such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, cells comprising such polynucleotides, methods of making such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, and methods of using such antibodies, antibody fragments and derivatives and polypeptides, including methods of treating or diagnosing subjects having IGF-1R-related disorders or conditions.
