Publication number: 20260115286Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating a patient having target cells that express Fc?RIIb, the method comprising administering (i) an antibody molecule that specifically binds a surface antigen of the target cell, which antibody molecule has an Fc domain capable of binding Fc?RIIb; in combination with (ii) an agent that prevents or reduces binding between the Fc domain of the antibody molecule and Fc?RIIb; characterized in that the patient is selected on the basis that their target cells express an elevated level of Fc?RIIb.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Mark Cragg, Martin Glennie, Ali Roghanian, Stephen Beers, Peter Johnson, Sean Lim, Björn Frendéus, Ingrid Teige

Publication number: 20260116981Abstract: Described is the use of a first antibody molecule that specifically binds Fc?RIIb via its Fab region, but lacks Fc region or has reduced binding to Fc? receptors via its Fc region, for use in combination with a second antibody molecule that specifically binds to a receptor present on an immune cell, wherein the immune cell is an immune cell that suppresses anti-cancer immunity, which second antibody molecule has an Fc region that binds to at least one activating Fc? receptor, and wherein the binding of the second antibody molecule to the receptor on the immune cell causes depletion and/or deactivation of the immune cell in the treatment of an Fc?RIIb-negative cancer in a patient, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising these to antibody molecules, and methods of treating cancer using these two antibodies.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Björn Frendéus, Ingrid Teige, Linda Mårtensson, Mark Cragg, Stephen Beers, Ali Roghanian, Robert Oldham
