  • Patent number: 11208497
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides light chain polypeptides that include a C-terminal extension, as well as antibodies and antibody conjugates containing such modified light chain polypeptides, where the C-terminal extension includes one or more cysteine residues. Conjugates that include an antibody of the present disclosure conjugated to an agent via the cysteine residue of the C-terminal amino acid extension are also provided. The present disclosure further provides nucleic acids encoding an antibody light chain polypeptide that includes a C-terminal amino acid extension including a cysteine residue. Pharmaceutical compositions including the antibodies or conjugates of the present disclosure are also provided, as are methods of making and use of the modified anti-bodies and conjugates of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20210346508
    Abstract: Anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in which the drug is an auristatin analogue and is conjugated to the antibody at a low average drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), and methods of using the ADCs in the treatment of a HER2-expressing cancer. The low average DAR (<3.9) ADCs as described herein have improved tolerability and decreased toxicity as compared to a corresponding ADC having a DAR ?3.9 when administered at the same toxin dose.
