This invention relates to multi-specific molecules, such as long acting multi-specific antibodies. Also disclosed are relates methods.

METHOD FOR OPTICAL OPENING OF THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) excludes most drugs and poses a significant challenge to treat brain diseases. Current methods for BBB opening yield modest outcomes in clinical applications due to safety and toxicity. This disclosure relates to methods of optically opening the BBB by laser excitation of tight-junction targeted nanoparticles to induce BBB transient opening. The excitation of plasmonic nanoparticles produces localized effects such as nanoscale heating and photomechanical force leading to BBB transiently opening to allow macromolecules across it. The safe and predictable platform for brain drug delivery will improve therapies for brain disease such as cancers, infections and neurologic disorders.

ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC TO TROPHOBLAST ANTIGEN 2 (TROP2)
20210221907 · 2021-07-22 ·

Antibodies specific to trophoblast antigen 2 (TROP2) and uses thereof for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Also provided are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising an extracellular antigen-binding fragment that binds TROP2 and immune cells expressing such.

ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATES AND USES THEREOF

Provided is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) using one or more cysteine or derivatives thereof as linkers to couple one or more drugs at the limited binding sites of an antibody, making it possible to produce an ADC product with high drug payload, or to choose a drug with less toxicity, thereby obtaining an ADC product with wide therapeutic window. In addition, since a plurality of drugs may be coupled to one binding site, the ADC products obtained by the method of the present disclosure have better uniformity in the case of same DAR value. Moreover, the amount of antibody required for production may be greatly reduced, thereby lowering the cost. Compared with the antibody-drug conjugates coupled only one drug, the antibody-drug conjugates produced by the method of the present disclosure have the same inhibition or killing effect on tumor cells while using fewer drugs for coupling to the same site.

CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR CELLS FOR TREATING SOLID TUMOR

The compositions and methods described herein are directed to treating solid tumor using CAR T therapy. The compositions include CAR comprising an extracellular domain that binds a siglec protein or a receptor that binds the peptide hormone kisspeptin.

Anti-Coronavirus Antibodies and Methods of Use

Antibodies that bind SARS-CoV spike protein, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and methods of using same for treating or preventing conditions associated with SARS or COVID-19 and for detecting SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2.

THERAPEUTIC ANTIBODIES AND THEIR USES

The present invention relates bispecific antibodies that specific binds to BCMA (B-Cell Maturation Antigen) and CD3 (Cluster of Differentiation 3). Method of making the bispecific antibodies and method of using the bispecific antibodies for the treatment of multiple myeloma are also provided.

Anti-Axl Antagonistic Antibodies

The present disclosure relates to antibodies that specifically bind a novel epitope on the Axl protein. Also disclosed are methods for the production and use of the anti-Axl antibodies.

BI-FUNCTIONAL ALLOSTERIC PROTEIN-DRUG MOLECULES FOR TARGETED THERAPY
20210177986 · 2021-06-17 ·

Disclosed herein, is a bi-functional allosteric protein-drug molecule comprising a targeting moiety, one or more biological binding domains, and one or more therapeutic agents, wherein the therapeutic agent is allosterically bound to the biological binding domain. Also described herein, are methods of incorporating a bi-functional allosteric protein-drug molecule comprising a targeting moiety, one or more biological binding domains that captures the therapeutic agent without the formation of a chemical bond, and one or more therapeutic agents physiologically acceptable compositions including them; and methods of administering the bi-functional allosteric protein-drug molecule to patients for the treatment of cancer.

DE-IMMUNISED ANTI-ERBB3 ANTIBODIES
20210189003 · 2021-06-24 ·
