Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibody-urease conjugates and substantially free of unconjugated urease are disclosed. These compositions are prepared by a method that does not require chromatographic purification. These pharmaceutical compositions have utility in the treatment of cancer by antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy wherein the urease converts endogenous urea into ammonia in situ to induce cytotoxicity.

The present disclosure provides methods of administering chimeric and hybrid Factor VIII (FVIII) polypeptides comprising FVIII and Fc to subjects at risk of developing inhibitory FVIII immune responses, including anti-FVIII antibodies and/or cell-mediated immunity. The administration is sufficient to promote coagulation and to induce immune tolerance to FVIII. The chimeric polypeptide can comprise full-length FVIII or a FVIII polypeptide containing a deletion, e.g., a full or partial deletion of the B domain.

The invention relates generally to recombinant sialidase and anti-HER2 immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain fusion proteins. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an anti-HER2 antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and compositions useful for in vivo and/or in vitro enzyme profiling. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of in vivo enzymatic processing of exogenous molecules followed by detection of signature molecules as representative of the presence of active enzymes associated with diseases or conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides compositions and in vitro methods for localization of enzymatic activity in a tissue sample.

The invention relates generally to recombinant sialidase and anti-CD20 immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain fusion proteins. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an anti-CD20 antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.

Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a subject suffering from a deficiency in α-L-Iduronidase in the CNS. The methods include systemic administration of a bifunctional fusion antibody comprising an antibody to a human insulin receptor and an α-L-Iduronidase. A therapeutically effective systemic dose is based on the specific CNS uptake characteristics of human insulin receptor antibody-α-L-Iduronidase fusion antibodies as described herein.

The invention relates generally to recombinant sialidase and anti-PD-L1 immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain fusion proteins. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an anti-PD-L1 antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.

The invention relates generally to recombinant human sialidases and recombinant sialidase fusion proteins, wherein the sialidase optionally contains one or more mutations compared to wild-type human sialidase, e.g., a substitution, deletion, or addition of at least one amino acid. The invention also provides antibody conjugates including a sialidase and an antibody or a portion thereof. The invention further relates to methods of using the sialidase fusion proteins or antibody conjugates for treating cancer.

Antibody-drug conjugates, compositions thereof, and methods use. The antibody-drug conjugates include a fusion protein comprising an antibody covalently linked to an ADP-ribosyl cyclase protein via a peptide linker moiety at one or more of a C-terminus or N-terminus of a heavy or light chain of the antibody, a NAD or NMN analogue, and a payload such that the NAD or NMN analogue is conjugated to both the payload and the ADP-ribosyl cyclase protein.

Compositions and methods for treating cancer in humans are provided using CARs. The invention includes engineered CARs (chimeric receptor antigens) and genetically modified immune cells that express such a CAR with a high affinity for VEGFR. More specifically, the cells are CAR-T cells recognizing VEGFR-2 on solid tumors, uses thereof, compositions thereof and methods of making. The invention includes therapeutic methods to treat VEGFR-2 dependent cancers targeting tumor angiogenesis. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to VEGFR-2, an epitope or fragment thereof, or a variant thereof.
