Abstract:
Multispecific molecules comprising (i) a TGF-beta inhibitor and (ii) a binding moiety that binds to CSF1R or CCR2, and methods of using the same, are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for increasing the therapeutic benefit of an antibody to a subject. The improved benefit is typically mediated by an increase in the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) effect of the antibody. The method comprises (a) administering to said subject an immunotherapeutic composition comprising a component of an immune system checkpoint, or an immunogenic fragment of said component; and (b) also administering said antibody to the subject. The increase in therapeutic benefit to the subject may be in respect of any disease for which the said antibody has a prophylactic or therapeutic effect. The disease may be cancer. The invention also relates to said immunotherapeutic composition and said antibody, and to kits comprising same.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising MMP8 and TNFR1 inactivating antigen binding polypeptides, preferably antigen binding polypeptides comprising antibodies; it relates further to the use of such composition to treat inflammation, such as but not limited to systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, LPS induced inflammation, renal ischemia/reperfusion injury, ventilation induced lung injury, periodontal inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to antibodies that inhibit CD39. The invention also relates to cells producing such compounds; methods of making such compounds, and antibodies, fragments, variants, and derivatives thereof; pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same; methods of using the compounds to diagnose, treat or prevent diseases, e.g., cancer.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for enhancing anti-tumor immunity or treating a precancerous lesion and/or a cancer, said composition comprising: (i) a first compound, said first compound being an agonist of a first Toll-like Receptor (TLR), and (ii) a second compound, said second compound being an agonist of a second TLR different from the first TLR targeted in (i) and/or an agonist of a C-Type Lectin Receptor (CLR).
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting Dkk-1 for treating or preventing an inflammatory or inflammatory-related disease or disorder.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) against the antigen CD37. The CARs disclosed herein have complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) derived from the potent monoclonal anti-CD37 antibody HH1, and may be used in immunotherapy to target cells expressing CD37. Such immunotherapy has a particular use in the treatment of B-cell cancers. The CARs of the present invention are highly functional in the redirection of immune cells to kill CD37+ cells, and include humanised CARs of particular use in medical therapy. The present invention also includes vectors comprising the above-described nucleic acid molecules, immune effector cells expressing the aforementioned CARs and the use of such immune effector cells in therapy, particularly adoptive transfer therapy, for cancer, including B-cell malignancies.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bispecific antibody targeting CD73. In particular, the present invention relates to a bispecific antibody targeting different epitopes on CD73 or a bispecific antibody targeting an epitope on CD73 and an epitope on a different antigen.
Abstract:
Provided herein are uses of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) inhibitors in cancer treatment, in some cases in combination with immune stimulating agents, such as inhibitors of PD-1 or PD-L1. In some embodiments, FGFR2 inhibitors may comprise FGFR2 antibodies or FGFR2 extracellular domain (ECD) polypeptides, or FGFR2 ECD fusion molecules comprising an FGFR2 ECD and a fusion partner. In some embodiments, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may comprise anti-PD-1 antibodies such as antibodies that bind to PD-1 or to PD-L1 and inhibit interactions between these proteins, as well as PD-1 fusion proteins or polypeptides. This application also provides methods of predicting response to treatment of cancer, such as bladder or gastric cancer, with FGFR2 inhibitors by determining FGFR2 overexpression and/or gene amplification in tumor cells of cancer subjects before treatment with FGFR2 inhibitors either alone or in combination with immune stimulating agents.
