METHODS OF TREATING PREGNANCY-ASSOCIATED ATYPICAL HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME USING AN ANTI-C5 ANTIBODY
Provided are methods for clinical treatment of pregnancy-associated atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (p-aHUS), including postpartum aHUS, using an anti-C5 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, such as ravulizumab (ULTOMIRIS®).
ANTI-TIGIT ANTIBODIES, MULTISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES COMPRISING THE SAME, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Provided are anti-TIGIT antibodies that bind to “T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT)”, including multispecific anti-TIGIT antibodies with binding specificity for TIGIT and one or more additional antigen, and methods of using the same. In certain embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibodies comprises a single domain antibody that binds to TIGIT. In certain embodiments, the one or more additional antigen comprises Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1).
ANTIBODIES TARGETING, AND OTHER MODULATORS OF, THE CD276 ANTIGEN, AND USES THEREOF
The invention pertains to antibodies or other antigen binding proteins targeting the CD276 antigen, also known as B7-H3. The invention provides an improved set of antibodies which bind at new positions within the CD276 antigen and are of particular use as therapeutics in the treatment of CD276 positive cancer. Further the invention provides antibody conjugate and bispecific antibodies which were developed on basis of the novel anti-CD276 antibodies of the invention. Furthermore, the invention discloses the therapeutic use of the antibodies and other modulators in the treatment of CD276 positive cancer. Finally, the nucleic acid constructs encoding the molecules of the invention, recombinant cells expressing them, as well as particular uses and methods are provided.
ANTI HUMAN INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR ACCESSORY PROTEIN (IL1 RAP) ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF
The present invention provides an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof with binding specificity for human interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of inhibiting the binding of antibody ‘CAN04’ to human IL1RAP. The invention further provides the use of such antibodies or an antigen-binding fragments in the treatment and/or diagnosis of IL-1 associated diseases and conditions, including cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and melanoma.
ANTI-TRANSFERRIN RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE
The present invention relates to anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and methods of their use.
OPTIMIZED ANTIBODIES THAT TARGET CD19
The present invention describes antibodies that target CD19, wherein the antibodies comprise at least one modification relative to a parent antibody, wherein the modification alters affinity to an FcγR or alters effector function as compared to the parent antibody. Also disclosed are methods of using the antibodies of the invention.
Methods for the Treatment of Disease Using Immunoglobulins Having Fc Regions with Altered Affinities for FcgammaRactivating and FcgammaRinhibiting
The present invention relates to methods of treating or preventing cancer and other diseases using molecules, particularly polypeptides, more particularly immunoglobulins (e.g., antibodies), comprising a variant Fc region, wherein said variant Fc region comprises at least one amino acid modification relative to a wild-type Fc region, which variant Fc region binds an FcγR that activates a cellular effector (“FcγR.sub.Activating,” such as FcγRIIA or FcγRIIIA) and an FcγR that inhibits a cellular effector (“FcγR.sub.Inhibiting,” such as FcγRIIA) with an altered Ratio of Affinities relative to the respective binding affinities of such FcγR for the Fc region of the wild-type immunoglobulin. The methods of the invention are particularly useful in preventing, treating, or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, or infection where either an enhanced efficacy of effector cell function mediated by FcγR is desired (e.g., cancer, infectious disease) or an inhibited effector cell response mediated by FcγR is desired (e.g., inflammation, autoimmune disease).
ANTI-C5 ANTIBODIES HAVING IMPROVED PHARMACOKINETICS
The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.
Fc-Containing Molecules Exhibiting Predictable, Consistent, and Reproducible Glycoform Profiles
The present invention relates to variant Fc-containing molecules, such as antibodies and Fc-fusion molecules, having glycosylation characteristics favorable to large-scale production of therapeutic molecules containing such variant Fc.
BTLA ANTIBODIES
This invention relates generally to antibodies that bind to human B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) and uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to agonistic antibodies that bind human BTLA and modulate its activity, and their use in treating inflammatory, autoimmune and proliferative diseases and disorders. Suitably, the antibodies also possess an Fc modification that enhances signalling through FcγR2B.
