Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies useful as therapeutics for treating and/or preventing diseases associated with cells expressing CLDN6, including tumor-related diseases such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, hepatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, sarcoma bile duct cancer, cancer of the urinary bladder, kidney cancer, colon cancer, placental choriocarcinoma, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, and uterine cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies useful as therapeutics for treating and/or preventing diseases associated with cells expressing Claudin-6 (CLDN6), including tumor-related diseases such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, hepatic cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, sarcoma, bile duct cancer, cancer of the urinary bladder, kidney cancer, colon cancer, placental choriocarcinoma, cervical cancer, testicular cancer, and uterine cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to the treatment and/or prevention of tumor diseases associated with cells expressing CLDN6, in particular cancer and cancer metastasis using antibodies which bind to CLDN6. The present application demonstrates that the binding of antibodies to CLDN6 on the surface of tumor cells is sufficient to inhibit growth of the tumor and to prolong survival and extend the lifespan of tumor patients. Furthermore, binding of antibodies to CLDN6 is efficient in inhibiting growth of CLDN6 positive germ cell tumors such as teratocarcinomas or embryonal carcinomas, in particular germ cell tumors of the testis.

Abstract: The invention relates to antibodies directed against an epitope located within the C-terminal portion of CLDN6 which are useful, for example, in diagnosing cancer and/or in determining whether cancer cells express CLDN6.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for diagnosis or treatment of cancer diseases involving cancer stem cells comprising targeting CLDN6. In particular, the present invention provides a method of determining cancer stem cells comprising detecting cells expressing CLDN6. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method of treating or preventing cancer comprising inhibiting and/or eliminating cancer stem cells by administering an antibody having the ability of binding to CLDN6 to a cancer patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides anti-CLDN18.2 antibody-drug conjugates which are effective for treating and/or preventing cancer diseases associated with cells expressing CLDN18.2, including gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, hepatic cancer, head-neck cancer, and cancer of the gallbladder and metastases thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences that are characteristic of tumor tissues such as ovarian tumor and lung tumor tissues and which represent targets for therapy or diagnosis of tumor diseases in a subject.
