  • Publication number: 20220288208
    Abstract: Provided are conjugates of the phthalocyanine dye IR700 and an EGFR-binding antibody, such as a cetuximab antibody, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. In some aspects, the compositions contain an EGFR-binding antibody, such as a cetuximab antibody, that is modified by conjugation to the IR700 dye at specific positions within the heavy chain and/or the light chain of the cetuximab antibody. In some aspects, such conjugates are capable of targeted cell killing following irradiation of the conjugate Also provided are related methods of manufacture and methods of use and uses, including in treatments for tumors and specific-cancer indications.

  • Publication number: 20220105184
    Abstract: Provided herein are conjugates, compositions and methods for use in photoimmunotherapy, such as photoimmunotherapy induced by activation of a phthalocyanine dye conjugated to a targeting molecule that binds a protein on cell, for example, an IR700-antibody conjugate. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine-dye conjugate can be activated by irradiation with near-infrared light. Features of the conjugates, compositions and methods, including the dose of the conjugate, provide various advantages, such as lower toxicity and/or improved efficacy. In some embodiments, also provided is a dual label phthalocyanine-dye conjugate in which the targeting molecule is conjugated to an additional fluorescent dye, which can be used for photoimmunotherapy while, for example, also exhibiting improved performance for imaging or detection. Also provided are therapeutic methods using the conjugates and compositions for treatment of diseases and conditions, including tumors or cancers.

  • Publication number: 20210401986
    Abstract: Provided are methods for manufacturing a conjugate containing a phthalocyanine dye, including methods that include one or more steps of preparing or producing the conjugate, formulating the conjugate and packaging the conjugate. In some aspects, the manufacturing methods result in the generation of a stable conjugate. Also provided are stable phthalocyanine dye conjugates, compositions and articles of manufacture containing the stable conjugates, and methods for their administration to subjects for photoimmunotherapy. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine dye conjugates are conjugated to a targeting molecule, such as an antibody, that targets the conjugate to a cell or pathogen, such as by binding to a cell surface protein.

  • Publication number: 20190365897
    Abstract: Provided are conjugates, e.g., dual conjugates, compositions and methods for use in photoimmunotherapy, such as photoimmunotherapy induced by activation of a phthalocyanine dye in the dual conjugate. In some embodiments, the dual conjugate contains a targeting molecule and a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the phthalocyanine-dye in the conjugate, e.g., dual conjugate, can be activated by irradiation with near-infrared light. Also provided are therapeutic methods using the conjugates, e.g., dual conjugates, and compositions for treatment of a lesion associated with diseases and conditions, including tumors or cancers. Features of the conjugates, e.g., dual conjugates, compositions, combinations and methods, including the dose of the conjugate, provide various advantages, such as efficient delivery and targeting of the therapeutic agent to the site of the lesion.
