METHODS OF TREATING NON-RADIOGRAPHIC AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS USING INTERLEUKIN-17 (IL-17) ANTAGONISTS
20190330328 · 2019-10-31 ·

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) patients and inhibiting the progression of structural damage in these patients, using Interleukin-17 (IL-17) antagonists, e.g., secukinumab. Also disclosed herein are uses of IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab, for treating nr-axSpA patients and inhibiting the progression of structural damage in these patients, as well as medicaments, dosing regimens, pharmaceutical formulations, dosage forms, and kits for use in the disclosed uses and methods.

ANTIBODY EPITOPE

It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Antibodies which selectively bind to complexes of such compounds with TNF superfamily members are disclosed. These antibodies may be used to detect further compounds with the same activity, and as target engagement biomarker.

Methods of purifying bispecific antibodies

The invention relates to the purification of bispecific antibodies carrying a different specificity for each binding site of the immunoglobulin molecule from a mixture of monospecific antibodies. The bispecific antibodies are composed of a single heavy chain and two different light chains, one containing a Kappa constant domain and the other a Lambda constant domain. This invention in particular relates to the isolation of these bispecific antibodies from mixtures that contain monospecific antibodies having two Kappa light chains or portions thereof and monospecific antibodies having two Lambda light chains or portions thereof. The invention also provides the methods of efficiently purifying these bispecific antibodies.

RECOMBINANT MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND CORRESPONDING ANTIGENS FOR COLON AND PANCREATIC CANCERS

The present invention provides for purified or highly pure recombinant monoclonal antibodies that bind to human colorectal and pancreatic carcinoma-associated antigens (CPAA), along with nucleic acid sequences encoding the antibody chains, and the amino acid sequences corresponding to said nucleic acids and uses for said sequences.

ANTI-CD25 ANTIBODY AGENTS

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD25 antibodies, which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical composition and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.

ADAPTER CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR EXPRESSING CELLS FOR TARGETING OF MULTIPLE ANTIGENS

The present invention provides an extracellular anti-linker/label epitope chimeric antigen receptor (anti-LLE CAR) comprising I) a linker/label epitope (LLE) binding domain, II) a transmembrane domain, and III) a signal transduction domain, wherein said extracellular LLE binding domain binds a target cell binding molecule (TCBM) comprising i) an antigen binding moiety (ABM), wherein said ABM binds specifically to an antigen expressed on a target cell, ii) a label moiety (LaM), wherein said LaM is a naturally occurring molecule in a subject or a derivative thereof, iii) a linker moiety (LiM) conjugating said ABM and said LaM, thereby forming a linker/label epitope (LLE), wherein said extracellular LLE binding domain binds said LLE with a higher preference than said naturally occurring molecule.

Regeneratable Biosensor and Methods of Use Thereof

A multiplex-able, regeneratable nucleic-acid linked immunoassay method and system for the detection of a single specific, or multiple, soluble analytes in solution and regeneratable biosensor devices for same are described.

Immunoassay for Collagen Type VI

The present invention provides an immunological binding partner reactive with a C-terminal epitope of the C5 domain of the 3 chain of collagen Type 6, and a method of immunoassay using the immunological binding partner for detecting and quantifying the C-terminal epitope. The invention also provides a method of investigating the rate of formation of extracellular matrix and a method for identifying a subject suitable for treatment with an insulin sensitizer.

ANTI-TREM-1 ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF

Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind and inhibit TREM-1 signaling, wherein the antibodies do not bind to one or more Fc?Rs and do not induce the myeloid cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. Also provided are uses of such antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of autoimmune diseases.

ANTI-CD25 ANTIBODY AGENTS

The present disclosure provides antibody sequences found in antibodies that bind to human CD25. In particular, the present disclosure provides sequences of anti-human CD25 antibodies, which do not block the binding of CD25 to IL-2 or IL-2 signalling. Antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof including such sequences can be used in pharmaceutical composition and methods of treatment, in particular for treating cancer.
