The invention relates to site specific homogeneous binder drug conjugates of kinesin spindle protein inhibitors, to active metabolites of these conjugates, to processes for preparing these conjugates, to the use of these conjugates for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases and to the use of these conjugates for preparing medicaments for treatment and/or prevention of diseases, in particular hyperproliferative and/or angiogenic disorders such as, for example, cancer diseases. Such treatments can be carried out as monotherapy or else in combination with other medicaments or further therapeutic measures.

The present disclosure relates to modified immunocytokine compositions comprising antibodies or antigen binding fragments specific for immune cell antigens and IL-18 polypeptides. Also provided herein are methods of treatment with and methods of manufacture of immunocytokine compositions.

The present invention relates to conjugates targeting uPARAP, in particular antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising monoclonal antibodies directed against the N-terminal region of uPARAP, and their use in delivery of active agents to cells and tissues expressing uPARAP. The invention further relates to the use of said ADCs in the treatment of diseases involving uPARAP expressing cells, such as cancer.

The present invention relates to methods for preventing or treating head and neck squamous cell cancer and bladder cancer using an immunotoxin comprising (a) a ligand that binds to a protein on the cancer cell attached to; (b) a toxin that is cytotoxic to the cancer cell. In a specific embodiment, the invention is directed to the prevention or treatment of head and neck squamous cell cancer or bladder cancer using Vb4-845, which is a recombinant immunotoxin comprising a humanized, MOC31-derived, single-chain antibody fragment that is fused to a truncated form of Pseudomonas exotoxin A. Also encompassed by the invention are combination therapy methods, including the use of reduced dosages of chemotherapeutic agents, for the prevention or treatment of cancer. Also encompassed by the invention are formulations and methods for direct administration of the recombinant immunotoxin to the carcinoma, for the prevention or treatment of cancer.

The invention relates to anti-epidermal growth factor (EGFR) antibodies and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), including compositions and methods of using said antibodies and ADCs.

Provided are conjugates. In certain aspects, provided are drug conjugates that include a knottin peptide comprising an engineered loop that binds to a cell surface molecule, and an anti-microtubule agent conjugated to the knottin peptide via a linker. In some aspects, provided are drug conjugates that include a fusion protein that includes a knottin peptide comprising an engineered loop that binds to a cell surface molecule, fused to an antibody subunit or fragment thereof. Such drug conjugates further include a drug conjugated to the fusion protein. Also provided are compositions and kits that include the conjugates of the present disclosure. Methods of using the conjugates, e.g., for therapeutic purposes, are also provided.

The present invention relates to an antibody-drug-conjugate. From one aspect, the invention relates to an antibody-drug-conjugate comprising an antibody capable of binding to a Target, said antibody being conjugated to at least one drug selected from derivatives of dolastatin 10 and auristatins. The invention also comprises method of treatment and the use of said antibody-drug-conjugate for the treatment of cancer.

The invention provides humanized antibodies that specifically bind to LIV-1. The antibodies are useful for treatment and diagnoses of various cancers as well as detecting LIV-1.

The present invention provides a novel complex comprising a) a cell penetrating peptide, b) at least one antigen or antigenic epitope, and c) at least one TLR peptide agonist, wherein the components a)-c) are covalently linked. Moreover, the present invention also provides a nucleic acid encoding such a complex, wherein the complex is a peptide or a protein. Such a nucleic acid may be comprised by a vector, and such a vector may be comprised by a host cell. In particular, compositions, such as a pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines are provided, which may be useful for example in the prevention and/or treatment of a diseases and/or a disorder including cancer, hematological disorders, infectious diseases, autoimmunity disorders and transplant rejections.
