  • Publication number: 20240066142
    Abstract: The present invention describes a uPAR (urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor)-targeting conjugate comprising: —a fluorophore; —a molecule binding to the receptor; and—a linker group which covalently links the fluorophore to the molecule binding to the receptor, said linker group either being part of the molecule binding to the receptor or being a separate component of the uPAR (urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor)-targeting conjugate; wherein the uPAR (urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor)-targeting conjugate has a pharmacokinetic profile where a human TBR (tumor-to-background ratio) of at least 1.1 is reached within 3.5 hours post administration and where a human TBR of at least 1.5 is maintained at least 30 minutes before decreasing below 1.5, and wherein the uPAR-targeting conjugate is a human uPAR-targeting conjugate.

  • Publication number: 20210220442
    Abstract: A chemically modified human Growth Hormone (rhGH) prepared by attaching a transient linker which comprises a polyethylene glycol. The chemically modified protein may have a much longer lasting rhGH activity than that of the unmodified rhGH, enabling reduced dose and scheduling opportunities and the modified rhGH may not cause lipoatrophy. Also includes methods of use for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases or disorders in which use of growth hormone is beneficial.

  • Publication number: 20210138090
    Abstract: There is provided a novel conjugate that binds to the cell surface receptor uPA (uPAR). The conjugate is based on a fluorescence-labeled peptide useful as a diagnostic probe to the surfaces of cells expressing uPAR. The conjugate is capable of carrying a suitable detectable and imageable label that will allow qualitative detection and also quantitation of uPAR levels in vitro and in vivo. This renders the surgical resection of tumors more optimal.
