  • Patent number: 12060421
    Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, that bind to human TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains), as well as uses of these antibodies or fragments in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer or chronic viral infection. Such method of treatment include combination therapy with inhibitors of other immunomodulatory receptor interactions, such as the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. The invention further provides polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, cells comprising the vectors, and methods of making the antibodies or fragments by expressing them from the cells.

  • Publication number: 20240209083
    Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that bind to T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM3) protein. Also provided are uses of these antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of cancer. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain regions of the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain regions of the antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof.

  • Publication number: 20240174749
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor or a cancer, wherein the method comprises administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of an anti-TIM3 antibody, alone or in combination with an inhibitor of the PD-1 signaling pathway (e.g., anti-PD-1 antibody). In some embodiments, the antibody is administered as a flat dose or a weight-based dose.
