Solution Overview

Problem

Current cancer immunotherapy approaches lack effective combinatorial antibody-based therapies that target distinct or parallel mechanisms of cancer progression, limiting their efficacy in treating various types of cancer.

Innovation Solution

The use of combinations of anti-CEACAM1 antibodies and antibodies that disrupt the binding of PD-1 to its natural ligands, PD-L1, administered sequentially to enhance lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against cancer cells, with anti-CEACAM1 antibodies increasing PD-L1 expression on cancer cells, thereby synergistically attenuating tumor progression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current single-antibody immunotherapy approaches are used, then treatment simplicity is maintained, but therapeutic efficacy is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidtherapy complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two different antibodies (anti-CEACAM1 and anti-PD-1/PD-L1) into a single therapeutic regimen to achieve synergistic anti-tumor effects. This merging of multiple therapeutic mechanisms resolves the contradiction by improving efficacy through combination therapy while managing complexity through standardized sequential administration protocols

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If combination antibody therapy is implemented, then therapeutic efficacy is improved, but treatment complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidtreatment simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes predetermined sequential administration protocols where anti-CEACAM1 antibody is administered first, followed by anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody at specified time intervals. This preliminary planning of the treatment sequence resolves the contradiction by simplifying operational complexity through standardized protocols while maintaining the efficacy benefits of combination therapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If lymphocyte cytotoxicity is enhanced through antibody combination, then tumor progression is attenuated, but treatment duration may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetumor inhibition efficacyVSAvoidtreatment duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic administration schedules where antibody treatments are given at specific intervals to maintain therapeutic effect while allowing for optimal immune response cycles. This periodic approach resolves the contradiction by achieving sustained tumor inhibition through rhythmically timed doses rather than continuous treatment, thereby managing treatment duration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
