  • Publication number: 20240043537
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to DA×CD3 Binding Molecules comprising a vCD3-Binding Domain, which comprises a CDRH1 Domain, a CDRH2 Domain, a CDRH3 Domain, a CDRL1 Domain, a CDRL2 Domain, and a CDRL3 Domain, at least one of which differs in amino acid sequence from the amino acid sequence of the corresponding CDR of a rCD3-Binding Domain, wherein the DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising such vCD3-Binding Domain exhibits an altered affinity for CD3, relative to a DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising such rCD3-Binding Domain. The invention particularly concerns to such DA×CD3 Binding Molecules comprising a vCD3-Binding Domain which exhibit reduced affinity for CD3 and are capable of mediating redirected killing of target cells expressing a DA and exhibit lower levels of cytokine release relative to a DA×CD3 Binding Molecule comprising a rCD3-Binding Domain.

  • Publication number: 20220213203
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dosing regimen for administering a CD 123×CDS bispecific diabody to patients with a hematologic malignancy such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The present invention is also directed to a dosing regimen for administering a CD 123×CDS bispecific diabody in combination with a molecule capable of binding PD-1 or a natural ligand of PD-1 (a “PD-1 or PD-1 ligand binding molecule”) to patients with a hematologic malignancy such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The invention particularly concerns the use of such regimens for administering the sequence-optimized CD 123×CDS bispecific diabody, “DART-A,” which is capable of simultaneous binding to CD 123 and CDS.

  • Publication number: 20170233472
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to optimized ROR1-binding molecules having enhanced affinity and superior ability to mediate redirected cytotoxicity of tumor cells relative to prior ROR1-binding molecules. More specifically, the invention relates to optimized ROR1-binding molecules that comprise Variable Light Chain and/or Variable Heavy Chain (VH) Domains that have been optimized for binding to an epitope present on the human ROR1 polypeptide so as to exhibit enhanced binding affinity for human ROR1 and/or a reduced immunogenicity upon administration to recipient subjects. The invention particularly pertains to bispecific, trispecific or multispecific ROR1-binding molecules, including bispecific diabodies, BiTEs, bispecific antibodies, trivalent binding molecules, etc. that comprise: (i) such optimized ROR1-binding Variable Domains and (ii) a domain capable of binding to an epitope of a molecule present on the surface of an effector cell.
