Publication number: 20260061032Abstract: A fusion protein in which an anti-CD73 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and IL-2 are linked to each other, and the use thereof are disclosed. The fusion protein or dimer thereof contains an anti-CD73 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and IL-2, and is able to inhibit adenosine production by binding to CD73 of cancer cells, thereby blocking the A2AR and A2BR signaling pathways, thus controlling the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the fusion protein or dimer thereof is able to activate immune cells (CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells) along with less activation of immunosuppressive cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs). In addition, IL-2 or a variant thereof in the fusion protein is able to activate immune cells. Therefore, the fusion protein and dimer thereof may be useful for preventing or treating cancer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Applicant: GI INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Myung Ho JANG, Young Jun Koh, Dan Bee Ha

Publication number: 20240058420Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer, containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein including an IL-2 protein and a CD80 protein, and an anticancer agent. A fusion protein containing a CD80 fragment, an immunoglobulin Fc, and an IL-2 variant can activate immune cells such as natural killer cells, and at the same time, can control the immune cell regulatory activity of regulatory T cells. In addition, when an anticancer agent is administered in combination with the fusion protein, cancer can be effectively inhibited. Therefore, a pharmaceutical composition containing, as active ingredients, a fusion protein containing an IL-2 protein and a CD80 protein, and an anticancer agent can increase the immune activity in the body and can be effectively utilized not only for cancer but also for an infectious disease, and thus has high industrial potential.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: GI INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Myung Ho JANG, Su Youn NAM, Young Jun KOH
