20230235032 · 2023-07-27 ·

The invention features methods for preventing or treating CGRP associated disorders such as vasomotor symptoms and/or headaches (e.g., migraine, cluster headache, and tension headache) by administering an anti-CGRP antagonist antibody. Compositions for use in the disclosed methods are also provided. Antagonist antibody G1 and antibodies derived from G1 directed to CGRP are also described.

METHODS, REGIMENS, COMBINATIONS & ANTAGONISTS

The invention relates to treating or preventing anaemia in a subject, such as a mammal or human. In particular, the invention addresses moderate to severe anaemia. Additionally, the invention provides means for sparing administration of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) to subjects.

LIQUID PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION
20230233463 · 2023-07-27 ·

The present invention relates to novel liquid pharmaceutical compositions of adalimumab, which include adalimumab or a biosimilar thereof, arginine and/or methionine, and a small polyol stabiliser such as glycerol. Such a combination of components furnishes formulations having a stability (e.g. on storage and when exposed to stress) which is comparable to or an improvement upon those known in the art, and with fewer ingredients. Such advances will help adalimumab treatments to become more widely available at lower cost, and prolong the viability of pre-loaded delivery devices (e.g. pre-filled syringes) to reduce unnecessary waste of the drug.

ANTIGEN-BINDING PROTEINS THAT ANTAGONIZE LEPTIN RECEPTOR
20230235068 · 2023-07-27 ·

The present invention provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that bind to leptin receptor (LEPR), and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the invention includes antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that bind LEPR and antagonize LEPR signaling. In certain embodiments, the invention includes antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that bind LEPR in the presence or absence of leptin. In other embodiments, the invention includes antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that exhibit partial agonism of LEPR signaling. The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present invention are useful for the treatment of various conditions, including but not limited to congestive heart failure cachexia, pulmonary cachexia and cancer cachexia, autoimmune disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, cardiovascular diseases, elevated blood pressure, neurodegenerative disorders, depression, cancer such as hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, breast cancer, and other diseases and disorders associated with or caused by elevated leptin signaling.

ANTI-IL-36 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

The present invention provides binding proteins, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, which specifically bind to human IL-36 cytokines, IL-36α, IL-36β, and/or IL-36γ, and block the IL-36 stimulated signaling pathways. Compositions comprising such binding proteins and methods of making and using such binding proteins are also provided.

METHODS FOR MODULATING INFLAMMASOME ACTIVITY AND INFLAMMATION IN THE LUNG

The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing inflammation in the lungs of a mammal that is afflicted by a condition that leads to inflammation in the lungs. The compositions and methods described herein include agents that inhibit inflammasome signaling in the mammal such as antibodies directed against inflammasome components used alone or in combination with extracellular vesicle uptake inhibitor(s).

HHLA2 AS A NOVEL INHIBITOR OF HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM AND USES THEREOF
20230002491 · 2023-01-05 ·

Provided are methods of treating an autoimmune disease in a subject, or of suppressing transplant rejection in a subject, or of treating a cancer in a subject, as well as compositions therefor.

ANTI-CD3 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE

The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

METHODS FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

The present invention provides methods for treating patients suffering from familial hypercholesterolemia, including both HeFH and HoFH. The methods of the invention provide for lowering at least one lipid parameter in the patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to ANGPTL3 in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a statin, a first lipid lowering agent other than a statin, and a second lipid lowering agent other than a statin. The first non-statin lipid lowering agent is an agent that inhibits cholesterol uptake (e.g. ezetimibe) and the second non-statin lipid-lowering agent is an inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (e.g. lomitapide). The combination therapy is useful in treating hypercholesterolemia, as well as hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia, chylomicronemia, and to prevent or treat diseases or disorders, for which abnormal lipid metabolism is a risk factor, such as cardiovascular diseases.

TREATMENT OF HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA

Hidradenitis suppurativa can be treated by administering a pharmaceutical composition that includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that selectively binds IL-1α.
