| 20090068198 | Antibody and Uses Thereof - Described are specific binding members e.g. antibodies which may be used in the treatment of diseases associated with cathepsin S activity. The specific binding members binds cathepsin S and inhibits its proteolytic activity. The binding members may be used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune disorders, and other diseases associated with excessive, deregulated or inappropriate angiogenesis. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090269360 | THERAPY - The invention relates to a method of inhibiting chemotherapy induced upregulation of Cathepsin S on the surface of tumour cells, the method comprising the administration of a Cathepsin S inhibitor to said cells. Also provided is a therapy comprising an anti Cathepsin S antibody, in particular an anti-Cathepsin S antibody which does not inhibit the proteolytic effect of Cathepsin S but nevertheless inhibits angiogenesis and a combination treatment comprising a Cathepsin S inhibitor and a therapeutic agent. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100086551 | ANTIBODY AND USES THEREOF - A method of inhibiting angiogenesis in a group of cells, a tissue or an organ includes administering an antibody molecule or nucleic acid encoding an antibody molecule to the cells, tissue or organ, wherein the antibody molecule specifically binds cathepsin S, but does not inhibit proteolytic activity of cathepsin S. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100104554 | PEPTIDE AND USES THEREOF - A method of inhibiting activity of a cathepsin L-like protease in cells or tissue and the use of the method in the treatment of disease such as cancer and inflammatory diseases is described. The method comprises administration of a cathepsin propeptide or a nucleic acid encoding a cathepsin propeptide. In particular embodiments, the propeptide is a Cathepsin S propeptide. Further, the use of propeptides having an Fc portion is described. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100111965 | COMBINATION THERAPY - The invention provides a method of treating neoplastic disease in a subject, said method comprising the simultaneous, sequential or separate, administration to said subject of an effective amount of (i) an inhibitor of a first EGF, e.g. HB-EGF and (ii) an inhibitor of a second EGF, e.g. AREG. Also described are novel synergistic combinations of EGF inhibitors with topoisomerase inhibitors which attenuate tumour cell growth. Further described are novel anti AREG antibodies. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110150886 | ANTI-AREG/HB-EGF ANTIBODIES AND TREATMENT - Described are cross-specific antibody molecules with binding specificity for both AREG and HBEGF. The antibody molecules may be used in methods of treatment of cancer and diseases associated with angiogenesis. | 06-23-2011 |
