Filed:
Dec 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/996733
Inventors:
David Wilson - Fremont CA, US
Tetsuya Taura - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Cephalon Australia Pty, Ltd. - Macquarie Park, NSW
International Classification:
C07K 16/00
US Classification:
5303891
Abstract:

US Patent:
20110301332, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Jul 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/001744
Inventors:
David Wilson - Fremont CA, US
Tetsuya Taura - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Cephalon Australia (VIC) Pty Ltd. - Parkville, Victoria
International Classification:
C07K 16/18
C12N 5/18
US Classification:
5303873, 5303879, 435331
Abstract:
The invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof which bind to proadrenomedullin N-terminal peptide (“PAMP”). Furthermore, the invention comprises monoclonal antibody EGX-P-E9 as well as engineered variants thereof, including chimeric, humanized or de-immunized versions thereof. The antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting the physiological activities of PAMP as well as in diagnosis of PAMP-responsive conditions.

Anti-Cd47 Combination Therapy

View page
US Patent:
20220259311, Aug 18, 2022
Filed:
Apr 29, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/733378
Inventors:
- New South Wales, AU
Tetsuya Taura - Redwood City CA, US
International Classification:
C07K 16/28
A61P 35/00
A61K 38/21
Abstract:
The present invention provides a combination therapy for treating a tumor in a subject. The combination comprises two elements. The first is a polypeptide construct comprising an attenuated Type I interferon (IFN) linked to an antibody which binds to a cell surface-associated antigen expressed on the tumour cell and comprising a functional Fc region. The second is a CD47 antagonist which inhibits the interaction CD47 with the SIRPα receptor.

Anti-Cd38 Antibodies And Fusions To Attenuated Interferon Alpha-2B

View page
US Patent:
20180305460, Oct 25, 2018
Filed:
Apr 19, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/957341
Inventors:
- Macquarie Park, AU
Matthew Pollard - Macquarie Park, AU
Anthony Gerard Doyle - Macquarie Park, AU
Collette Behrens - Macquarie Park, AU
Tetsuo Yamagishi - Macquarie Park, AU
Sarah L. Pogue - Fremont CA, US
Tetsuya Taura - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
C07K 16/28
A61K 38/21
A61K 39/395
C07K 14/56
A61K 38/00
A61K 39/00
Abstract:
Antibodies that specifically bind to CD38, as well as constructs comprising such antibodies fused to attenuated interferon alpha-2B proteins are provided. Anti-CD38-attenuated interferon alpha-2b fusion constructs may be used to inhibit proliferation in cancerous cells that express both CD38 and the receptor for IFN-alpha2b, as well as to induce apoptosis in such cells. Inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis in cancerous cells may serve as the basis for the treatment of the underlying cancer.
