Abstract: The present invention relates to the recognition of CSF1R as a marker of hematological cancer and thus relates to CSF1R targeting agents for the treatment of such cancers, in particular, AML. The invention also relates to a lymphocyte recombinantly expressing a chimeric antigen T cell receptor (CAR) specific for CSF1R, in particular, for use in the treatment of cancer characterized by the expression of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R). The present invention further relates to a CAR comprising an extracellular domain that specifically binds CSF1R, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular T cell activating domain; as well as polynucleotides, vectors and host cells used in the production of the CAR. Further, methods for the production of such lymphocytes and a pharmaceutical composition comprising such lymphocytes are provided.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to CSF1R and CD3, e.g. for activating T cells. In addition, the present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding such antibodies, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further relates to methods for producing the antibodies, and to methods of using them in the treatment of disease, in particular in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Abstract: Provided is a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell.
