Publication number: 20220235146Abstract: The present invention relates to the area of improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents, and compositions thereof, which target IgE, for instance: for use in treating disorders caused by IgE (such as allergic responses, or certain autoimmune responses); and, in particular, disorders caused by the interaction of IgE with the Fc?RI receptor. In particular, this invention relates to improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents related to novel mutants of omalizumab (Xolair®). The improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents of the invention may have improved affinity for IgE and/or an improved interaction with the C?2 domain of IgE and/or an improved modified epitope on IgE (for instance further involving the C?2 domain of IgE) and/or the ability to disassociate IgE from the Fc?RI receptor for instance at pharmaceutically-relevant concentrations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Ralph ADAMS, Thomas Allen CESKA, Anna Marie DAVIES, Alistair James HENRY, Xiaofeng LIU, James Michael MCDONNELL, Brian John SUTTON, Marta Katarzyna WESTWOOD
