Abstract: The present disclosure describes a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and LAG-3 for use in the treatment of advanced malignancies such as melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of treating cancer, such as multiple myeloma, involving the combination of an anti-BCMA antigen binding protein (e.g., an anti-BCMA antibody) and an immunomodulatory drug (e.g. pomalidomide or lenalidomide). The combinations can also include an anti-inflammatory compound (e.g. dexamethasone).

Abstract: Anti-mutant calreticulin (mutCALR) antibodies are disclosed. Also disclosed are related nucleic acids, vectors, cells, kits, and pharmaceutical compositions. Methods of treating or diagnosing myeloproliferative neoplasms with the anti-mutCALR antibodies are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to binding domains that bind cancer-associated MUC1, and binding moieties comprising such binding domains. The present disclosure further relates to the use of such binding domains or binding moieties in the treatment of cancer. The present disclosure also relates to nucleic acid encoding such binding domains or binding moieties, and a vector and cell comprising such nucleic acid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multispecific binding moiety comprising a PD-1 binding domain and a TGF-?RII binding domain, wherein the PD-1 binding domain blocks PD-1 mediated signaling and the TGF-?RII binding domain blocks TGF-?RII-mediated signaling. The present disclosure further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising such multispecific binding moiety, a method of treatment using such multispecific binding moiety, and a cell producing such multispecific binding moiety.

Abstract: The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins and fragments thereof which specifically bind B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA), particularly human BCMA (hBCMA) and which inhibit the binding of BAFF and APRIL to the BCMA receptor. Further disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions, screening and medical treatment methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel PD-1 binding domains that have a higher binding affinity for human PD-1 than a reference PD-1 binding domain. The PD-1 binding domains of the present disclosure further provide a comparable, or equal or higher, potency in blocking ligand binding to human PD-1 than a reference PD-1 antibody. The present disclosure further relates to binding moieties comprising such PD-1 binding domains. Also provided is a method for treating a disease, in particular a disease associated with a suppressed immune system, such as cancer, with a PD-1 binding domain or binding moiety of the present disclosure. The present disclosure further relates to nucleic acids encoding the heavy chain variable region of the PD-1 binding domains, and a vector and cell comprising such nucleic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of treating cancer, such as multiple myeloma, involving the combination of an anti-BCMA antigen binding protein (e.g., an anti-BCMA antibody) and a proteasome inhibitor (e.g. bortezomib). The combinations can also include an anti-inflammatory compound (e.g. dexamethasone).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of treating cancer, such as multiple myeloma, involving the combination of an anti-BCMA antigen binding protein (e.g., an anti-BCMA antibody) and an immunomodulatory agent (e.g. an agent directed to ICOS or an anti-CD38 antigen binding protein).

Abstract: Methods are provided for determining prognosis of multiple myeloma in a patient by measuring expression of BCMA in a sample. Also provided are methods for treating multiple myeloma by measuring expression of BCMA in a sample and administering an effective amount of an antigen binding protein that binds BCMA. Also provided are kits for measuring BCMA expression in a sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ICOS binding protein or antigen binding portion thereof that is an agonist to human ICOS and does not induce complement, ADCC, or CDC when placed in contact with a T cell in vivo and methods of treating cancer, infectious disease and/or sepsis with said ICOS binding protein or antigen binding portion thereof. Further the ICOS binding proteins or antigen binding portions thereof of the present invention are capable of activating a T cell when placed in contact with said T cell; stimulating T cell proliferation when placed in contact with said T cell and/or inducing cytokine production when placed in contact with said T cell. The present invention relates to ICOS binding proteins or antigen binding portions thereof comprising one or more of: SEQ ID NO:1; SEQ ID NO:2; SEQ ID NO:3; SEQ ID NO:4; SEQ ID NO:5; and/or SEQ ID NO:6.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating cancer comprising administering to the human an ICOS binding protein or antigen binding portion thereof at a dose of about 0.08 mg to about 240 mg.
