Provided is a bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecule with a first binding domain binding an antigen on CD8+ T-cells that does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and a second binding domain binding to a tumor specific antigen naturally occurring on the surface of a tumor cell. The bispecific (monoclonal) antibody molecules are particularly useful in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor. The (bispecific) antibody molecules can be used in a method for the treatment of particular diseases, wherein the (bispecific) antibody molecules are administered in combination with transduced CD8+ T-cells comprising an antigen which does not naturally occur in and/or on CD8+ T-cells and/or a T-cell receptor in a specific treatment regimen.

Bispecific antibody molecules with antigen-transfected T-cells and their use in medicine

The present invention relates to CXCR6-transduced (a) T cell(s) such as (a) CD8+ T cell(s), (a) CD4+ T cell(s), (a) CD3+ T cell(s), (a) &#x3b3;&#x3b4; T cell(s) or (a) natural killer (NK) T cell(s) for targeted tumor therapy, nucleic acid sequences, vectors capable of transducing such (a) T cell(s), (a) transduced T cell(s) carrying the nucleic acid sequences or vectors of the present invention, methods and kits comprising the nucleic acid sequences or vectors of the present invention. The invention also provides the use of said transduced T cell(s) in a method for the treatment of diseases characterized by CXCL16 overexpression as well as a pharmaceutical composition/medicament comprising (a) transduced T cell(s) expressing the CXCR6 for use in methods of treating diseases characterized by CXCL16 overexpression.

CXCR6-transduced T cells for targeted tumor therapy

The present invention generally relates to T-cells, such as CD8+ T-cells, CD4+ T-cells, CD3+ T-cells, &#x3b3;&#x3b4; T-cells or natural killer (NK) T-cells, transfected/transduced with a fusion protein which is recruited by the use of trivalent, bispecific antibody molecule which specifically binds to/interacts with the extracellular domain of the fusion protein. More precisely, the present invention relates to a kit comprising the nucleic acid molecules, vectors and/or the fusion proteins of the present invention and the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules of the present invention. Further aspects of the inventions are expression vectors comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding the fusion proteins as well as the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules. Further, a process for the production of the trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules of the invention and a medicament/pharmaceutical composition comprising said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules are described. The invention also provides the use of said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules in a method for the treatment of particular diseases as well as a pharmaceutical compositions/medicament comprising said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecules, wherein said trivalent, bispecific antibody molecule(s) is (are) to be administered in combination with transduced T-cells comprising the fusion protein of the invention. The invention also provides a method for the treatment of particular diseases.

Adoptive t-cell therapy

The present invention relates to PD-1-CD28 fusion proteins, nucleic acid molecules, vectors, transduced cells carrying nucleic acid molecules or vectors of the present invention or expressing the fusion proteins of the present invention, methods and kits comprising the nucleic acid molecules, vectors and/or the fusion proteins of the present invention. The invention also provides the use of said transduced cells in a method for the treatment of particular diseases as well as a pharmaceutical composition/medicament comprising said transduced cells expressing the fusion proteins of the present invention for use in a method of treating of diseases, in particular in the medical intervention of diseases characterized by PD-L1 and/or PD-L2 expression.
