Patent number: 10898556Abstract: The present invention provides isolated monoclonal antibodies (e.g., humanized and human monoclonal antibodies) that bind to human Inducible T Cell COStimulator (ICOS) and exhibit therapeutically desirable functional properties, e.g., the ability to stimulate human ICOS activity. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the invention, expression vectors, host cells, and methods for expressing the antibodies of the invention are also provided. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies of the invention can be used, for example, as an agonist to stimulate or enhance an immune response in a subject, e.g., antigen-specific T cell responses against a tumor or viral antigen. The antibodies of the invention can also be used in combination with other antibodies (e.g., PD-1, PD-L1, and/or CTLA-4 antibodies) to treat, for example, cancer.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANYInventors: John J.

Publication number: 20200299400Abstract: Provided herein are heavy chain constant regions (referred to as “modified heavy chain constant regions”), or functionally equivalent fragments thereof, that enhance biological properties of antibodies relative to the same antibodies in unmodified form. An exemplary modified heavy chain constant region includes an IgG2 hinge and three constant domains (i.e., CH1, CH2, and CH3 domains), wherein one or more of the constant region domains are of a non-IgG2 isotype (e.g., IgG1, IgG3 or IgG4). The heavy chain constant region may comprise wildtype human IgG domain sequences, or variants of these sequences. Also provided herein are methods for enhancing certain biological properties of antibodies that comprise a non-IgG2 hinge, such as internalization, agonism and antagonism, wherein the method comprises replacing the non-IgG2 hinge of the antibody with an IgG2 hinge.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2018Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB COMPANYInventors: Nils LONBERG, Alan J.

Publication number: 20200207816Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for enhancing the anti-tumor efficacy of an Fc fusion protein which binds specifically to a target, e.g., a co-inhibitory or co-stimulatory receptor of ligand, on a T cell in a subject afflicted with a cancer or a disease caused by an infectious agent and alters the activity of the immunomodulatory target, thereby potentiating an endogenous immune response against cells of the cancer or the infectious agent, wherein the method comprises selecting, designing or modifying the Fc region of the Fc fusion protein so as to enhance the binding of said Fc region to an activating Fc receptor (FcR). The disclosure also provides an Fc fusion protein produced by said method and its use in treating a subject afflicted with a cancer or a disease caused by an infectious agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: John J.
