A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919966B2) discloses a method for inhibiting tumor growth by administering a pharmaceutically active amount of at least one polypeptide containing an immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) that specifically binds to glucocorticoid-induced TNFR family-related receptor (GITR) with high affinity. The binding of the ISVD to GITR enhances an immune response, with specific sequences outlined for the framework regions and complementarity determining regions of the ISVD. The method involves the administration of the polypeptide as a pharmaceutical composition, potentially combined with other groups or residues to increase its half-life.

Furthermore, the patent extends the application of the method for the treatment of cancer, targeting various types such as squamous cell cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, and many others. The method can be combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, cancer vaccines, or other therapeutic agents to enhance its efficacy. Additionally, the patent lists a range of additional therapeutic agents that can be used in conjunction with the ISVD-containing polypeptide, including immune checkpoint inhibitors like PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4, as well as various other immune modulators and receptors to target cancer cells effectively.
