  • Publication number: 20240239890
    Abstract: The present invention provides multispecific antigen-binding molecules that comprise a first antigen-binding domain having RNF43-binding activity and a second antigen-binding domain having T cell receptor complex-binding activity, uses of such multispecific antigen-binding molecules, etc. The present inventors discovered novel multispecific antigen-binding molecules with excellent cellular cytotoxicity and high stability, which comprise a first antigen-binding domain having RNF43-binding activity and a second antigen-binding domain having T cell receptor complex-binding activity. Since the molecules of the present invention show a strong cytotoxicity against cells and tissues expressing RNF43, it is possible to produce novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising the multispecific antigen-binding molecules for treating or preventing various cancers.

  • Patent number: 11612149
    Abstract: The present invention provides genetically modified non-human animals which are deficient in at least one or more types of CD3 genes selected from the group consisting of endogenous CD3?, CD3?, and CD3? in its genome and functionally express at least one or more types of human CD3 genes selected from the group consisting of human CD3?, CD3?, and CD3?. In the genetically modified non-human animals of the present invention, mature T cell differentiation and production can take place, and immunocompetent cells including T cells can exert their functions. The genetically modified non-human animals of the present invention enable efficient evaluation and screening in the development of therapeutic agents and therapeutic methods that use human CD3-mediated targeted drugs.

  • Patent number: 11505605
    Abstract: It was discovered that antigen-binding molecules comprising (i) a domain that binds to a molecule expressed on the surface of cells having immune response-suppressing functions, and (ii) a T cell receptor complex-binding domain exhibit more superior antitumor effects than conventional antigen-binding molecules by crosslinking T cells with cells having immune response-suppressing functions, and damaging the cells having immune response-suppressing functions.

  • Publication number: 20220348658
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides combination therapies with an anti-T cell antigen-binding molecule and a cytokine inhibitor. Antibodies that recruit T cells as effector cells into tumor tissues are called T cell redirecting antibodies, and are known as means for treating tumors. On the other hand, when systemic cytokine production is stimulated by binding of antibodies to T cells, it is feared that this systemic action will lead to aberrations such as CRS. The present disclosure provides means for alleviating systemic cytokine production, and will enable safer use of anti-T cell antigen-binding molecules in tumor treatment.
