The patent is filed for a dosing regimen for administering a pd-1×ctla-4 bispecific molecule for cancer treatment
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230312756A1) describes a method for treating cancer and stimulating immune cells using a PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule. The method involves administering the bispecific molecule to a subject in need at a dose of about 3 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg once every 3 weeks. The bispecific molecule consists of a PD-1 Binding Domain and a CTLA-4 Binding Domain.
The patent claims also specify that the PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule can be administered during an induction period, which lasts up to 24 weeks, and a maintenance period, which lasts up to 84 weeks. The bispecific molecule can be administered by intravenous infusion.
The PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule described in the patent has specific amino acid sequences for the PD-1 Binding Domain and the CTLA-4 Binding Domain. It can also include a Hinge Domain and an Fc Region of an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 isotype. The Fc Region can be a variant Fc Region with amino acid modifications that reduce the affinity for an Fc?R or enhance the serum half-life.
The patent also covers the use of a diabody form of the PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule, which consists of one or two polypeptide chains with specific amino acid sequences.
The method described in the patent can be used for the treatment of various types of cancer, including but not limited to cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, renal cancer, and soft-tissue sarcoma.
The patent also includes a pharmaceutical kit comprising the PD-1×CTLA-4 bispecific molecule and instructional material for its use in accordance with the described method. The kit can be used for the treatment of cancer or for stimulating immune cells.
It is important to note that the information provided is based solely on the claims made in the filed patent and does not include any additional data or research findings.
