  • Patent number: 11939383
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human B7-H4. The anti-B7-H4 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are useful, for example in detecting B7-H4. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used to detect B7-H4. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating cancer wherein increased B7-H4 has been detected, by administering a therapeutic anti-B7-H4 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2024

  • Publication number: 20240043542
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human B7-H4 (and optionally cynomolgus monkey, mouse, and/or rat B7-H4) and compositions comprising such antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. In a specific aspect, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human B7-H4 increase T cell proliferation, increase interferon-gamma production, and/or deplete B7-H4 expressing cells via ADCC activity. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as cancer, by administering an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to human B7-H4.

  • Publication number: 20230052212
    Abstract: Provided herein are uses of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) inhibitors in cancer treatment, in some cases in combination with immune stimulating agents, such as inhibitors of PD-1 or PD-L1. In some embodiments, FGFR2 inhibitors may comprise FGFR2 antibodies or FGFR2 extracellular domain (ECD) polypeptides, or FGFR2 ECD fusion molecules comprising an FGFR2 ECD and a fusion partner. In some embodiments, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may comprise anti-PD-1 antibodies such as antibodies that bind to PD-1 or to PD-L1 and inhibit interactions between these proteins, as well as PD-1 fusion proteins or polypeptides.
