Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating cancers characterized by the presence of solid tumors, which simultaneously target a plurality of targets on cancer cells using single CAR T construct.

The invention relates to antibody-drug conjugates and to their use in therapy, in particular for treating CD56+ cancers.

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 present invention relates to an antibody-drug-conjugate. From one aspect, the invention relates to an anti-body-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.

In one aspect, there is provided an antibody or a functional fragment thereof, wherein the antibody or functional fragment thereof is capable of binding specifically to high molecular weight melanoma associated antigen (HMW-MAA), and binding to an Fc receptor.

The present invention is directed to novel bifunctional CTI-CTI and CBI-CTI dimers of the formula:

F.sup.1-L.sup.1-T-L.sup.2-F.sup.2

where F.sup.1, L.sup.1, T, L.sup.2 and F.sup.2 are as defined herein, useful for the treatment for proliferative diseases, where the inventive dimers can function as stand-alone drugs, payloads in antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs), and linker-payload compounds useful in connection with the production or administration of such ADCs; and to compositions including the aforementioned dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, and methods for using these dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, to treat pathological conditions including cancer.

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.

An immunoconjugate includes an anti-Globo H antibody, or a binding fragment thereof, and a therapeutic agent or a label, having the formula: Ab(LD).sub.m, wherein Ab is the anti-Globo H antibody or the binding fragment thereof, L is a linker or a direct bond, D is the therapeutic agent or the label, and m is an integer from 1 to 8. The antibody may be a monoclonal antibody, which may be a humanized antibody. A method for treating a cancer includes administering to a subject in need of such treatment a pharmaceutically effective amount of an immunoconjugate containing an antibody against Globo H, or a binding fragment thereof, and a therapeutic agent covalently conjugated with the antibody.

Provided herein are compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with cancer, including tubulysins and protein (e.g., antibody) drug conjugates thereof.

The invention relates to a novel class of antagonistic and inverse agonistic anti-US28 antibodies, more specifically to single heavy chain variable domain antibodies (VHH) and variants and modifications thereof. The invention further relates to methods for producing these antibodies and to the use of the antibodies in methods for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, especially for treatment of an individual suffering from a CMV-positive tumor such as glioblastoma.
