Title / DISEASE THERAPY WITH CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) CONSTRUCTS AND T CELLS (CAR-T) OR NK CELLS (CAR-NK) EXPRESSING CAR CONSTRUCTS
Assignee / IMMUNOMEDICS
Abstract / The present invention concerns CAR, CAR-T and CAR-NK constructs, preferably comprising a scFv antibody fragment against a disease-associated antigen or a hapten. More preferably, the antigen is a TAA, such as Trop-2. The constructs may be administered to a subject with a disease, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, or immune dysfunction disease, to induce an immune response against disease-associated cells. Where the constructs bind to a hapten, the subject is first treated with a hapten-conjugated antibody that binds to a disease associated antigen. Therapy may be supplemented by other treatments, such as debulking procedures (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) or coadministration of other agents. More preferably, administration of the construct is preceded by predosing with an unconjugated antibody that binds to the same disease-associated antigen. Most preferably, an antibody against CD74 or HLA-DR is administered to reduce systemic immunotoxicity induced by the constructs.
Text from the document / Claims:
1. A method of inducing an immune response to a disease comprising: a) predosing a subject with an unconjugated antibody against a disease-associated antigen; and b) administering to the subject a chimeric antigen receptor transfected T cell (CAR-T) or chimeric antigen receptor transfected K cell (CAR- K), wherein the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprises a targeting antibody fragment against the same antigen.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the antigen is a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) and the disease is cancer.

Title / COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE OF IMMUNOTOXINS COMPRISING RANPIRNASE (RAP) SHOW POTENT CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY
Assignee / IMMUNOMEDICS; IBC PHARMA
Abstract / The present invention concerns methods and compositions for forming immunotoxin complexes having a high efficacy and low systemic toxicity. In preferred embodiments, the toxin moiety is a ranpirnase (Rap), such as Rap(Q). In more preferred embodiments, the immunotoxin is made using dock-and-lock (DNL) technology. The immunotoxin exhibits improved pharmacokinetics, with a longer serum half-life and significantly greater efficacy compared to toxin alone, antibody alone, unconjugated toxin plus antibody or even other types of toxin-antibody constructs. In a most preferred embodiment the construct comprises an anti-Trop-2 antibody conjugated to Rap, although other combinations of antibodies, antibody fragments and toxins may be used to form the subject immunotoxins. The immunotoxins are of use to treat a variety of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disease or immune dysfunction.
