Abstract:
Provided herein are bispecific antigen-binding molecules that bind HER2 and methods of use thereof. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise a first and a second antigen-binding domain, wherein the first and second antigen-binding domains bind to two different (preferably non-overlapping) epitopes of the extracellular domain of human HER2. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules cluster on the surface of HER2 IHC2+ and IHC3+ cells, and are internalized into the cellular lysosomes. Also included are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the antibodies or bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety, as well as methods of treating cancer in a subject by administering to the subject a bispecific antigen-binding molecule or an ADC thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for promoting blood coagulation and/or treating blood coagulation disorders in a subject in need thereof. The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an angiopoietin protein or a modified angiopoietin protein molecule such as AngF1 -Fc-F1 or AngF2-Fc-F2.
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to ErbB3 and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human ErbB3. In certain embodiments, the antibodies of the present invention block the interaction of ErbB3 with an ErbB3 ligand such as neuregulin 1. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting or attenuating the growth of a tumor that is resistant to a blockade of EGFR, which include administering an EGFR inhibitor, an EGFR inhibitor and a FGFR inhibitor, or an EGFR inhibitor, an FGFR inhibitor and an ErbB3 inhibitor to a subject having a tumor that is or may become resistant to the blockade of EGFR. Blockade of EGFR, FGFR and/or ErbB3 may be effectuated using target specific antibodies or fragments thereof, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human Ang-2. The antibodies of the invention are useful, inter alia, for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with one or more Ang-2 biological activities including angiogenesis.
Abstract:
Provided herein are monoclonal antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), and methods of use thereof and methods of use thereof. Also included are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the anti-FGFR2 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof linked to a cytotoxic agent, radionuclide, or other moiety, as well as methods of treatment using the same.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods and compositions related to the treatment or prevention of cancer (e.g, by targeting a tumor in a subject with cancer) by administering to a subject an agent that inhibits autophagy. In certain aspects, provided herein are methods of compositions related to methods of sensitizing cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mediated killing by contacting the cells or administering the agent that inhibits autophagy.
Abstract:
The present invention provides antibodies that bind to EGFR and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to human EGFR with high affinity. In certain embodiments, the antibodies of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells expressing high levels of EGFR and/or inducing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of such cells. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers as well as other EGFR-related disorders.
