Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for tumors, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, have limitations in addressing malignant tumors with high metastasis rates and poor treatment outcomes, necessitating the development of more effective immunotherapy approaches.

Innovation Solution

A pharmaceutical combination of an anti-TIM-3 antibody and an anti-PD-1 antibody, or their antigen-binding fragments, is administered to block immune checkpoint signaling pathways, enhancing anti-tumor effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If conventional treatment methods (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery) are used, then tumor symptoms can be alleviated and survival period prolonged, but treatment outcomes remain poor for malignant tumors with high metastasis rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurvival periodVSAvoidtreatment outcome
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines anti-TIM-3 antibody and anti-PD-1 antibody into a pharmaceutical composition that works synergistically to block multiple immune checkpoint pathways simultaneously, achieving enhanced anti-tumor efficacy that overcomes the limitations of conventional single-modality treatments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If single immune checkpoint inhibition is used, then some anti-tumor activity is achieved, but the effect is insufficient for tumors with high metastasis rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-tumor effectVSAvoideffectiveness against different tumor types
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two different immune checkpoint inhibition mechanisms (TIM-3 and PD-1 pathways) into a single pharmaceutical composition, creating a multi-targeted therapy that demonstrates broad efficacy across different tumor types including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and lymphoma

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pharmaceutical composition is designed to universally target multiple immune checkpoint pathways that are commonly upregulated across various tumor types, making it applicable to a broad range of malignancies with high metastasis rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
