Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody construct comprising a domain which binds to Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and another domain which binds to CD3. Moreover, the invention provides a polynucleotide encoding the antibody construct, a vector comprising said polynucleotide and a host cell transformed or transfected with said polynucleotide or vector. Furthermore, the invention provides a process for producing the antibody construct of the invention, a medical use of said antibody construct and a kit comprising said antibody construct.

Abstract: Novel peptides that bind to human PAC1 are provided. These peptides that are antagonists of PAC1 are useful in a number of PAC1 related disorders, including the treatment and/or prevention of headache disorders, including migraine, such as acute migraine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antagonist antibodies of the human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor as well as bispecific antigen binding proteins derived from the anti-CGRP antibodies that bind to and inhibit both the human CGRP receptor and another target, such as the human pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1) receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-CGRP receptor antibodies and bispecific antigen binding proteins as well as methods for producing them are also disclosed. Methods of using the anti-CGRP receptor antibodies and bispecific antigen binding proteins to ameliorate, treat, or prevent conditions associated with the CGRP and PAC1 receptors, such as chronic pain, migraine, and cluster headache, are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antigen binding proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies, that specifically bind to and activate human triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antigen binding proteins. The agonist antigen binding proteins (e.g. antibodies) of the invention are capable of activating TREM2/DAP12 signaling in myeloid cells in the absence of Fc-mediated cross-linking of the antigen binding proteins. Methods of treating or preventing conditions associated with TREM2 loss of function, such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, using the antigen binding proteins are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to neutralizing antibodies of the human pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1) and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies. Methods of treating or preventing headache conditions, such as migraine and cluster headache, using the neutralizing antibodies are also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides bispecific antibody constructs characterized by comprising a first domain binding to MUC17, a second domain binding to an extracellular epitope of the human and the Macaca CD3E chain and optionally a third domain, which is a specific Fc modality. Moreover, the invention provides a polynucleotide, encoding the antibody construct, a vector comprising this polynucleotide, host cells, expressing the construct and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

Abstract: Methods of treating metabolic diseases and disorders using an antigen binding protein specific for the GIPR polypeptide are provided. In various embodiments the metabolic disease or disorder is type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated glucose levels, elevated insulin levels and diabetic nephropathy. In certain embodiments the antigen binding protein is administered in combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
