Publication number: 20220105184Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: Rakuten Medical, Inc.Inventors: Merrill BIEL, Lewis R. MAKINGS, Roger HEIM, Miguel GARCIA-GUZMAN, Eileen Sun CHIN, Deepak YADAV, Jerry FONG

Publication number: 20210401986Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: Rakuten Medical, Inc.Inventors: Lewis R.
