The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing paclitaxel, an anti-VEGF antibody and an anti-PD-L1 antibody.

The present disclosure provides anti-CTLA-4 antibodies and methods of producing and using the antibodies. The present disclosure also provides nucleic acids encoding the anti-CTLA-4 antibodies and host cells containing the nucleic acids. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides polypeptides containing a variant Fc region and methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

Therapeutic agents and treatment methods for urologic cancers, particularly urologic cancers with reduced lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) function, the agents and methods being characterized by suppressing both IL-6 activity and CCR2/CCL2 activity, are provided.

The present disclosure provides antigen binding molecules that show binding activity towards Claudin-6 (CLDN6), methods for producing the antigen binding molecules, use of the antigen-binding molecules and immunoconjugates comprising the same in treating and/or preventing cancers, use of the antigen binding molecules in detecting the presence of CLDN6 in biological samples, and use of the antigen binding molecules in diagnosis of various cancers.

An objective of the present disclosure is to provide anti-CD137 antigen-binding molecules which have immunocyte-activating effect, cytotoxic activity, or anti-tumor activity, and meanwhile have reduced effect on non-tumor tissues such as normal tissues and produce less side effects, and methods of using the same. Anti-CD137 antigen-binding molecules which have immunocyte-activating effect, cytotoxic activity, or anti-tumor activity, and meanwhile have reduced effect on non-tumor tissues such as normal tissues and produce less side effects, are provided by discovering and producing CD137 antigen-binding molecules whose binding activity to CD137 depends on various substances (for example, small molecule compounds) in target tissues. Methods of using the same, pharmaceutical formulations, and such are also provided. The present disclosure also provides an antigen-binding molecule whose binding activity to an antigen varies depending on a small molecule compound, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising second-generation molecules that are superior than TOCILIZUMAB, by altering the amino acid sequences of the variable and constant regions of TOCILIZUMAB, which is a humanized anti-IL-6 receptor IgG1 antibody, to enhance the antigen-neutralizing ability and increase the pharmacokinetics, so that the therapeutic effect is exerted with a less frequency of administration, and the immunogenicity, safety and physicochemical properties (stability and homogeneity) are improved. The present invention also provides methods for producing these pharmaceutical compositions. The present inventors have successfully generated second-generation molecules that are superior to TOCILIZUMAB by appropriately combining amino acid sequence alterations in the CDR domains, variable regions, and constant regions.

The present disclosure provides anti-CTLA-4 antibodies and methods of producing and using the antibodies. The present disclosure also provides nucleic acids encoding the anti-CTLA-4 antibodies and host cells containing the nucleic acids. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides polypeptides containing a variant Fc region containing amino acid alterations in a parent Pc region and methods of producing and using the polypeptides.
