  • ANTI-HER-2/TROP-2 CONSTRUCTS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20240101717
    Abstract: This application provides novel bispecific antigen-binding antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to both HER2 and Trop-2. These bispecific anti-HER2/Trop-2 antibodies comprise a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human HER2 or Trop-2, and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds human Trop-2 or HER2. The bispecific antibodies have high binding affinity for HER2 and Trop-2, can be internalized by cells expressing HER2 and/or Trop-2. The bispecific antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors cells expressing HER2 and/or Trop-2 in vitro and in vivo. The bispecific antibodies can be used to diagnose, prognose, and treat HER2- and/or Trop-2-associated human diseases (e.g., cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, asthma, transplant rejection, and inflammatory disorders).
