  • Patent number: 11920200
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of determining the presence or absence of certain cancers in a human individual, as well as to related methods to determine the response to therapy against certain cancers in a human individual, in particular ovarian cancer in a woman. Such methods are based on the detection-from (eg cell-free) DNA of said human individual—of one or more methylated (or un-methylated) CpGs being associated with differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the present invention; such as methylation (or un-methylation) at one or more or all of certain CpGs being associated with such DMRs. Accordingly, such methods have diagnostic, prognostic and/or predictive utility for detecting or managing certain cancers in women or men, in particular ovarian cancer in women.

  • Patent number: 11773147
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides human tear lipocalin muteins that specifically bind to LAG-3, which can be used in pharmaceutical applications, for example, as anti-cancer agents and/or immune modulators for the treatment or prevention of human diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The present disclosure further shows the human lipocalin muteins can inhibit the binding of LAG-3 to MHC class II on cells overexpressing MHC class II. The present disclosure also concerns methods of making LAG-3 binding lipocalin muteins described herein as well as compositions comprising such lipocalin muteins. The present disclosure further relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such lipocalin muteins and to methods for generation of such lipocalin muteins and nucleic acid molecules. In addition, the application discloses therapeutic and/or diagnostic uses of these lipocalin muteins as well as compositions comprising one or more of such lipocalin muteins.

  • Publication number: 20230227568
    Abstract: The disclosure provides multimeric proteins comprising three, four, or more monomer polypeptides, each comprising a first 4-1BB-targeting moiety, an oligomerization moiety, and optionally a linker. The monomer polypeptide may further comprise one or more additional targeting moieties. The oligomerization moiety promotes the trimerization, tetramerization, or higher state of oligomerization of the monomer polypeptides. Such multimeric proteins can be used in many pharmaceutical applications, for example, as anti-cancer agents and/or immune modulators. The present disclosure also concerns methods of making the multimeric proteins described herein as well as compositions comprising such multimeric proteins. The present disclosure further relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding such multimeric proteins and methods for the generation of such multimeric proteins and nucleic acid molecules.
