Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to antibody fragments which specifically bind sialyl-Tn epitope of tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72).

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions related to single chain antibody fragments which specifically bind sialyl-Tn epitope of tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72).

The present invention is directed to compositions of matter useful for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor in mammals and to methods of using those compositions of matter for the same.

Described herein are compositions and methods of use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, conjugated to one or more cytotoxic drugs. Preferably, the antibody is an RS7, 162-46.2 or MAB650 antibody. More preferably, the antibody is humanized. Preferably the drug is SN-38, pro-2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin, paclitaxel, calichemicin, DM1, DM3, DM4, MMAE, MMAD or MMAF. The compositions and methods are of use to treat Trop-2 expressing cancers, such as breast, ovarian, cervical, endometrial, lung, prostate, colon, stomach, esophageal, bladder, renal, pancreatic, thyroid, epithelial or head-and-neck cancer. Preferably, the cancer is one that is resistant to one or more standard cancer therapies. More preferably, the anti-Trop-2 antibody binds to Trop-2 expressed on normal cells, but administration of the anti-Trop-2 ADC to human cancer patients at a therapeutically effective dosage produces only limited toxicity.

Provided herein are compositions, methods, and uses involving anti-Mucin-16 (MUC16) agents that immunospecifically bind an epitope of Mucin-16 (MUC16). Also provided herein are uses and methods for managing, treating, or preventing disorders, such as cancer and diseases associated with positive MUC16 expression.

The present invention provides methods, compounds, and compositions useful for determining the in vivo distribution of a radionuclide after administering a radiolabeled activatable anti-CD166 antibody-bioactive agent conjugate to a subject by positron emission tomography imaging. The present invention also provides methods for identifying subjects suitable for treatment with the corresponding non-radiolabeled activatable anti-CD166-bioactive agent conjugates.

The present invention relates to therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer, and more specifically, for the treatment of prostate, bladder, and/or pancreatic cancer. An embodiment of the present invention is an anti-glypican-1 (GPC 1) antibody, which may be conjugated to at least one cytotoxic agent that is toxic to a prostate, bladder, and/or pancreatic cancer cell.

Compositions and methods for transient immunodepletion of specific subsets of a subject's immune cells are disclosed. The methods generally include administering to the subject an effective amount of a radiolabeled antibody against CD19, CD20, CD33, CD38, CD45RA, CD52, or a combination thereof. The effective amount of the radiolabeled antibody depletes at least 50% of the targeted immune cells, and less than 20% of the subject's stem cells. When used alone, these methods may target lymphomas, leukemias, and myelomas, and/or may additionally allow repopulation of non-autoreactive immune cells in patients with an autoimmune disease. When these methods precede certain cell-based therapies, such as adoptive cell therapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell therapy, the methods are able to enhance the outcome of the cell-based therapies while minimizing adverse effects.

The RI-labeled anti-MUC5AC humanized antibody of the present invention is a conjugate of a chelating agent chelated with a radionuclide and an antibody (the radionuclide is a metal nuclide that emits α particle or positron, and the antibody is a humanized antibody specifically binding to MUC5AC), and is superior in specificity for MUC5AC and accumulation in tumor. Therefore, it is extremely useful for the treatment and/or diagnosis of diseases in which MUC5AC is overexpressed, particularly cancer.

Radiolabeled anti-PD-L1 antibodies and their use in immuno-PET imaging are provided herein. Included are methods of detecting the presence of PD-L1 proteins in a patient or sample.
