Abstract:
A mutant bispecific antibody that includes (a) a human hinge constant region from IgG having one or more amino acid mutations in the CH2 domain, (b) two SCFVS; and (c) two FVS has been constructed. This type of antibody displays enhanced clearance, which has been found to be particularly useful in the context of pre-targeting methods.
Abstract:
An antibody to a drug of interest is caused to be expressed in a target cell of interest by genetic therapy. This antibody is expressed along with a promoter and modulator for the antibody. The drug is administered to the patient, where it binds to the antibody for the drug until a critical concentration of drug is reached at the target site. Once this critical concentration of drug is achieved, the antibody is released from the drug/antibody conjugate, and the drug is available at the target site in concentrations sufficient to treat the condition for which the drug is administered. In order to ensure that the antibodies are degraded at the proper time, the antibodies are designed to have built-in signals for degradation.
Abstract:
The use of interacting polymers and oligomers to selectively target compounds to desired sites, in vitro and in vivo, wherein the first polymer or oligomer is bound to a targeting agent and the second polymer or oligomer is bound to an active agent, such as a drug, a metal or a radioisotope.
Abstract:
Uses of compositions in methods for detecting and/or treating targeted lesions in a patient are provided. The compositions used are comprised of a targeting composition comprising a biotin and targeting protein conjugate or an avidin and targeting protein conjugate; optionally, a clearing composition comprised of avidin, when the targeting composition is a biotin conjugate, or biotin, when the targeting composition is an avidin conjugate; a detection or therapeutic composition comprised of a conjugate of avidin or biotin with a targeting protein and detection or therapeutic agent; and, optionally, another detection or therapeutic composition comprised of avidin or biotin conjugated to a detection or therapeutic agent. The compositions, methods of use, and kits for use are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of pretargeting therapeutic or diagnostic compounds to target cells in the body and a kit for such a method. The targeting is preferably through a specific antibody. The binding between the preinjected targeting moiety and the effector moiety is established by a zinc finger and its cognate nucleotide sequence, conjugated to the targeting or effector moiety. Also part of the invention are conjugates of zinc fingers and therapeutic or diagnostic compounds.
Abstract:
Methods, compounds, compositions and kits that relate to pretargeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents are disclosed. In particular, three-step pretargeting methods are described.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns compositions and methods of use of antibodies or antibody fragments that bind to an epitope located within the second cysteine-rich domain (Cys2, amino acid residues 1575-1725) of MUC5AC. The antibodies bind with high specificity and selectivity to pancreatic cancer and are of use for therapy, detection and/or diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. In preferred embodiments, therapeutic antibody may be conjugated to at least one therapeutic agent, such as 90 Y. Both in vivo and in vitro detection of pancreatic cancer may be performed with the subject methods and compositions. Specific dosages of radiolabeled antibody and/or gemcitabine, of use in human pancreatic cancer patients, are disclosed herein.
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments, the present invention provides a new strategy for an improved target-specific drug delivery that utilizes enhanced internalization of therapeutic conjugates by in situ complexation driven by bioorthogonal click chemistry, which is defined herein as "click therapy". This novel two-step/two-component system for intracellular delivery of therapeutics is based on the induced internalization of cross-linked and clustered mAb to target receptors of interest, including, for example, HER2 receptors. The system provides target-specific, and optionally, image-guided drug delivery, and highly efficient internalization and accumulation of chemotherapeutics in the target cells of interest. The present invention provides in situ complexation of two or more delivery components by the bioorthogonal click reactions between multiple azido-functionalized or tetrazine functionalized mAb and multiple cyclooctyne-functionalized nanocarriers, or trans- cyclooctene functionalization, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) substituted with chemotherapeutics, such as paclitaxel. The present invention provides copper-free, strained- promoted, bioorthogonal click chemistry for therapy.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a kit for the administration and activation of a Prodrug. The kit comprises a Masking Moiety linked, directly or indirectly, to a Trigger moiety, which in turn is linked to a Drug, and an Activator for the Trigger moiety. The Trigger moiety comprises a dienophile and the Activator comprises a diene, whereby the dienophile is an eight-membered non- aromatic cyclic alkenylene group, preferably a cyclooctene group, and more preferably a trans-cyclooctene group. The Trigger and the Activator undergo a fast, bio-orthogonal reaction resulting in the release of the Masking Moiety, and activation of the drug.
Abstract:
An antibody framework binding interface for the cyclic meditopes C-QFDLSTRRLK-C (cQFD; SEQ ID NO:1) and C-QYNLSSRALK-C (cQYN; SEQ ID NO:2) and methods for their use are provided herein. In one embodiment, a binding interface is formed by a framework region, and not a complementarity determining region (CDR), of an antibody or functional fragment thereof. In another embodiment, a therapeutic human or humanized antibody has one or more human framework residues replaced with one or more corresponding murine residues such that a meditope having the sequence cQFD or cQYN stably binds the one or more human framework residues.
