Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The methods and compositions described herein address the need in the art by providing compositions and methods for a therapy with a cytokine that is specifically targeted to and/or retained intra- or peri-tumorally, limiting systemic exposure and reducing side-effects. Accordingly, aspects of the disclosure relate to a composition comprising an immunotherapeutic antibody operatively linked to an extracellular matrix (ECM)-affinity peptide. An ECM-affinity peptide is one that has affinity for an extracellular matrix protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating cancer in a subject comprising administering a polypeptide comprising IL-12 conjugated to the collagen binding domain of SEQ ID NO:3 or 34 to the subject; wherein the cancer comprises colon, breast, prostate, pancreatic, glioblastoma, ovarian, or head and neck cancer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprising IL-12 is at least 85% identical to SEQ ID NO:37 or SEQ ID NO:35. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is being treated with a checkpoint inhibitor. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the checkpoint inhibitor comprises and anti-PD-1, an anti-PD-L1, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or combinations thereof. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the checkpoint inhibitor comprises an i) an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 and ii) an anti-CTLA-4 antibody.
