A recent patent application (Publication Number: US20230416335A1) describes a novel heterodimeric TCR-anti-CD3 antibody fusion molecule designed for potential cancer treatment. The molecule consists of a first polypeptide chain containing a TCR alpha chain variable domain and a second polypeptide chain containing a TCR beta chain variable domain. The patent specifies various amino acid sequences for the alpha and beta chain variable domains, along with modifications to the constant domain sequences to enhance the molecule's efficacy.

Furthermore, the patent application includes details about the structure of the TCR-anti-CD3 antibody fusion molecule, such as the single-chain format, linker sequences, and the type of anti-CD3 antibody used. The patent also covers the pharmaceutical composition containing the fusion molecule and its application in treating cancer, particularly in patients with PRAME-expressing cancers like melanoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, and others. The method of treatment involves administering the pharmaceutical composition, potentially through injection, to achieve a therapeutic effect in the human subject with cancer. This patent application represents a significant advancement in the development of targeted cancer therapies utilizing novel fusion molecules.
