Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods useful for the depletion of CD45+ cells and for the treatment of various hematopoietic diseases, metabolic disorders, cancers, and autoimmune diseases, among others. The compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat a disorder, for instance, by depleting a population of CD45+ cancer cells or autoimmune cells. The compositions and methods described herein can also be used to prepare a patient for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy and to improve the engraftment of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants by selectively depleting endogenous hematopoietic stem cells prior to the transplant procedure.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions relating to the treatment of autoimmune diseases using anti-CD45 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).

Abstract: The invention provides anti-CD45 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of depleting a population of CD45+ cells from a subject, by administration of an anti-CD45 ADC provided herein. In some embodiments, the ADCs include a cytotoxin containing a benzodiazepine moiety, for example. a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) or an indolinobenzodiazepine (IGN) moiety.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of depleting CD45+ cells in human patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapy in order to promote acceptance of CAR expressing immune cells. Anti-CD45 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are administered as a conditioning regimen to a human patient receiving autologous or allogeneic CAR expressing immune cells such that the CAR expressing immune cells are accepted by the human patient. Compositions and methods of the invention can be used in combination with CAR therapy to treat a variety of pathologies, including autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods useful for the depletion of CD117+ or CD45+ cells and for the treatment of various hematopoietic diseases, metabolic disorders, cancers, and autoimmune diseases, among others. The compositions and methods described herein can be used to treat a disorder, for instance, by depleting a population of CD117+ or CD45+ cancer cells or autoimmune cells. The compositions and methods described herein can also be used to prepare a patient for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy and to improve the engraftment of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants by selectively depleting endogenous hematopoietic stem cells prior to the transplant procedure.
