A patent application (Publication Number: US20240018261A1) discloses a method for treating diseases by administering a polypeptide with a variant Fc region that binds to target cells and ameliorates disease symptoms. The variant Fc region has altered affinities to Fc?RActivating and Fc?Inhibiting compared to wild-type immunoglobulins. The method involves using a portion of an antibody, such as a monoclonal, chimeric, humanized, or human antibody, with specific variable domains that bind to various cell surface markers. The variant Fc region may have amino acid modifications at specific positions, affecting its binding properties and effector functions.
Furthermore, the patent application describes different scenarios where the variant Fc region's Ratio of Affinities can either inhibit or activate effector functions of target cells, depending on the amino acid substitutions present. The method can be applied to treat inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and cancer by targeting specific antigens associated with these conditions. Additionally, the treatment may involve combining the polypeptide with other cancer therapies like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or surgery. Overall, the method outlined in the patent application aims to provide a personalized and effective approach to treating various diseases in human subjects using the unique properties of the variant Fc region.
