  • Publication number: 20240034793
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for immunotherapy of a subject afflicted with cancer, comprises administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that inhibits signaling from the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway. This disclosure also provides a method for immunotherapy of a subject afflicted with cancer comprising selecting a subject that is a suitable candidate for immunotherapy based on an assessment that the proportion of cells in a test tissue sample from the subject that express PD-L1 on the cell surface exceeds a predetermined threshold level, and administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibody to the selected subject. The invention additionally provides rabbit mAbs that bind specifically to a cell surface-expressed PD-L1 antigen in a FFPE tissue sample, and an automated IHC method for assessing cell surface expression in FFPE tissues using the provided anti-PD-L1 Abs.

  • Publication number: 20230087164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing progression of a tumor or treating cancer. The method comprises administering to a subject, a binding agent comprising a first binding region binding to human CD137 and a second binding region binding to human PD-L1. The amount of binding agent administered in each treatment cycle is preferably about 0.3-5 mg/kg body weight or about 25-400 mg in total.

  • Publication number: 20220389110
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a renal cancer, which method comprises administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of: (a) an anti-cancer agent which is an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and inhibits PD-1 activity; and (b) another anti-cancer agent. The other anti-cancer agent may be an anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor or an anti-Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody. The disclosure also provides a kit for treating a subject afflicted with a renal cancer, the kit comprising a dosage of an anti-PD-1 antibody, a dosage of another anti-cancer agent which is an anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor or an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, and instructions for using the anti-PD-1 antibody and the other anti-cancer agent in any of the disclosed methods for treating a renal cancer.
