Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are increasingly applied in clinical application with great success. A variety of antibody products have been approved by the FDA since 1997. Furthermore, the industries have been paying more attention to and efforts in the field of antibody development than ever, suggesting the grand potential of the market and benefits. At present, many monoclonal antibodies have proven their therapeutic value in combination with established treatment for many diseases, as shown in FDA approved expanded indications. This old-fashioned immunotherapy exerts profound effects in many refractory and formidable diseases, especially cancers. With further understanding of the interaction between immune system and cancer, more target molecules were discovered and more promising therapeutic antibodies with improved effects will be feasible in the future. Regardless of initial development or ultimate approved drug, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have always been associated with numerous patent applications. This review mainly focuses on potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies in oncology and related antibody patents, and discusses the trend for antibody development and therapeutic applications in humans.

Solution-based affinity assays are used for the selection and characterization of proteins that could be developed into therapeutic molecules. However, these assays have limitations for cell-surface proteins as in most cases their purification requires detergent solubilization and are unlikely to assume conformations in solution that resemble their native states in cell membranes. This report describes a novel electrochemiluminescence-based method, called MSD-CAT, for the affinity analysis of antibodies binding to cell-surface receptors.

Purpose: Dupilumab is a widely recommended treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), with known ocular side effects but less frequent cutaneous reactions.
Material And Methods: This case report details a 52-year-old female patient with atopic dermatitis treated with dupilumab. After an initially successful treatment, the patient developed a rosacea-like dermatitis.

Background: Data sharing accelerates scientific progress and improves evidence quality. Even though journals and funding institutions require investigators to share data, only a small part of studies made their data publicly available upon publication. The procedures necessary to share retrospective data for re-use in secondary data analysis projects can be cumbersome.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now first-line therapy for most patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), and cetuximab is most often used as subsequent therapy. However, data describing cetuximab efficacy in the post-ICI setting are limited.
Methods: We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients with R/M HNSCC treated with cetuximab, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, after receiving an ICI.
