Publication number: 20100298545Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of cancer, particularly, metastatic cancer. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more antibodies that bind to and agonize EphA2, thereby increasing EphA2 phosphorylation and decreasing EphA2 levels in cells which EphA2 has been agonized. The invention also encompasses antibodies that preferentially bind an EphA2 epitope exposed on cancer cells but not non-cancer cells. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2 antibodies of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2009Publication date: November 25, 2010Inventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 7402298Abstract: The invention provides a monoclonal antibody, a fragment thereof, or a molecular complex thereof that binds to an extracellular domain of an EphA2 receptor molecule, wherein binding of the monoclonal antibody or fragment thereof to the EphA2 receptor molecule present in the membrane of a cancer cell favorably alters activity of the EphA2 receptor molecule. The invention further relates to methods of making and using the monoclonal antibodies, fragments, and molecular complexes regarding the same. The monoclonal antibodies of the present invention target the extracellular domain of EphA2 and operate to redirect the function of EphA2 to selectively block the growth and invasiveness of metastatic cells. The invention thus makes possible therapeutic strategies that optimally target metastatic cells while preventing collateral damage to normal tissues.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignees: Purdue Research Foundation, SmithKline Beecham CorporationInventors: Michael Scott Kinch, Kelly Carles-Kinch, Katherine E Kilpatrick
