Solution Overview

Problem

Current antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting ROR1 lack high specificity and efficacy, necessitating the development of antibodies with high affinity for ROR1 and the ability to internalize into cells, as well as ADCs with effective therapeutic effects.

Innovation Solution

The development of anti-ROR1 antibodies with high affinity and internalization capabilities, specifically designed to form effective antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that target and kill ROR1-expressing cancer cells.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional ADCs are used to target ROR1, then they can deliver cytotoxic agents to tumor cells, but they lack high specificity and efficacy due to insufficient affinity and internalization capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecificity and efficacy of ADC targetingVSAvoidtoxicity without effective tumor killing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the antibody structure to achieve high affinity binding to ROR1. The developed anti-ROR1 antibodies exhibit significantly improved binding characteristics compared to conventional ADCs, enabling specific recognition and internalization into ROR1-expressing tumor cells while minimizing off-target effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by designing antibodies with built-in internalization capabilities before ADC formation. The anti-ROR1 antibodies are engineered to actively internalize into cells upon binding, ensuring that the cytotoxic payload is delivered inside the tumor cell rather than remaining on the surface, thereby improving efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Strength

If ADCs with high cytotoxic effects are developed, then tumor-killing capability is improved, but toxicity increases and high specificity is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetumor-killing effectVSAvoidsystemic toxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating the cytotoxic effect specifically at the tumor cell level through ROR1-specific targeting. The anti-ROR1 antibodies ensure that high-dose cytotoxic agents are delivered only to ROR1-expressing tumor cells, while healthy tissues without ROR1 expression remain unaffected, thereby achieving strong local tumor-killing effects with minimal systemic toxicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the anti-ROR1 antibody as an intermediary that mediates between the cytotoxic payload and the tumor cell. This intermediary provides the necessary specificity and internalization function, allowing potent cytotoxic agents to be safely delivered to and activated within tumor cells while protecting healthy tissues from exposure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If antibodies with high affinity for ROR1 are developed, then target recognition is improved, but the complexity of antibody development and characterization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding affinity to ROR1VSAvoidantibody development and characterization process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-engineering antibodies with optimized binding characteristics during the development phase. The anti-ROR1 antibodies are designed with predetermined high affinity for ROR1, reducing the need for extensive iterative optimization and characterization compared to conventional antibody development approaches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
