Abstract:
The present invention provides for recombinant monoclonal antibodies that bind to human colorectal and pancreatic carcinoma-associated antigens, along with nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibody chains, and the amino acid sequences corresponding to the nucleic acids, and uses for these antibodies, nucleic acids and amino acids.
Abstract:
Methods for treating cancer patients (e.g., cancer patients resistant or intolerant to pertuzumab and ado-trastuzumab emtansine) having HER2-positive tumors are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a combination of a doxorubicin-loaded immunoliposome with a targeting moiety that is an anti-HER2 antibody that is not an inhibitor of HER2 signaling and an anti-cancer therapeutic comprising a doxorubicin-free anti-cancer therapeutic comprising a different anti-HER2 antibody.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a universal, yet adaptable, anti-tag chimeric antigen receptor (AT-CAR) system which provides T cells with the ability and specificity to recognize and kill target cells, such as tumor cells, that have been marked by tagged antibodies. As an example, FITC-CAR-expressing T cells have been developed that specifically recognize various human cancer cells when those cells are bound by cancer-reactive FITC-labeled antibodies. The activation of FITC-CAR-expressing T cells is shown to induce efficient target lysis, T cell proliferation, and cytokine/chemokine production. The system can be used to treating subjects having cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to therapeutic ADCs comprising a drug attached to an anti-cancer antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. Preferably the drug is SN-38. More preferably the antibody or fragment thereof binds to Trop-2 and the therapy is used to treat a Trop-2 positive cancer. Most preferably the antibody is hRS7. The ADC is administered to a subject with a cancer in combination with an ABCG2 inhibitor. The combination therapy is effective to treat cancers that are resistant to drug alone and/or to ADC alone.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for treatment, screening, diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, such as bladder cancer, esophagus cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer and breast cancer, for monitoring the effectiveness of cancer, such as bladder cancer, esophagus cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer and breast cancer treatment, and for drug development.
Abstract:
According to the invention, gene products expressed in a tumor-associated manner and the nucleic acids coding therefor were identified. The invention relates to the therapy and diagnosis of diseases wherein said gene products expressed in a tumor-associated manner are aberrantly expressed. The invention also relates to proteins, polypeptides and peptides which are expressed in a tumor associated manner and to nucleic acids coding therefor.
Abstract:
Tubulysin compounds of the formula (I) where R 1 , R 2 R 3a , R 3b , R 4 , R 5 , W, and n are as defined herein, are anti-mitotic agents that can be used in the treatment of cancer, especially when conjugated to a targeting moiety.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a universal, yet adaptable, anti-tag chimeric antigen receptor (AT-CAR) system which provides T cells with the ability and specificity to recognize and kill target cells, such as tumor cells, that have been marked by tagged antibodies. As an example, αFITC-CAR-expressing T cells have been developed that specifically recognize various human cancer cells when those cells are bound by cancer-reactive FITC-labeled antibodies. The activation of αFITC-CAR-expressing T cells is shown to induce efficient target lysis, T cell proliferation, and cytokine/chemokine production. The system can be used to treating subjects having cancer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to therapeutic conjugates with improved ability to target various diseased cells containing a targeting moiety (such as an antibody or antibody fragment), a linker and a camptothecin as a therapeutic moiety, and further relates to processes for making and using the said conjugates.
Abstract:
Macrocyclic benzodiazepine dimers having a structure represented by formula (I) where A and B are independently according to formulae (Ia) or (Ib) ]; and the other variables in formulae (I), (Ia), and (Ib) are as defined in the application. Such dimers are useful as anti-cancer agents, especially when used as the drug component in an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC).
