Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for cancers expressing ROR1, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and various solid malignancies, lack effective targeted therapies, necessitating the development of ROR1-targeting antibodies for prevention, treatment, and diagnosis.

Innovation Solution

Development of ROR1-targeting antibodies with specific CDR sequences and their antigen-binding fragments, including murine, chimeric, humanized, and multispecific forms, which can be used in conjunction with chimeric antigen receptors, antibody conjugates, and engineered immune cells to target ROR1-expressing cells.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional cancer treatments are used, then broad cancer coverage is achieved, but specificity and targeted killing of ROR1-expressing cells is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecificity of cancer treatmentVSAvoidimpact on non-target cells
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The antibody is designed with specific CDR sequences (CDR-L1: SEQ ID NO: 1, CDR-L2: SEQ ID NO: 2, CDR-L3: SEQ ID NO: 3, CDR-H1: SEQ ID NO: 4, CDR-H2: SEQ ID NO: 5, CDR-H3: SEQ ID NO: 6) that confer localized specificity to ROR1-expressing cells. This ensures the therapeutic action is concentrated precisely where ROR1 is present, minimizing effects on non-target cells while maximizing cancer cell killing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the antibody's binding parameters including affinity and epitope recognition characteristics to achieve selective binding to ROR1. By tuning these parameters, the antibody demonstrates enhanced specificity for ROR1-positive cancer cells while maintaining minimal cross-reactivity with normal cells, thereby improving therapeutic reliability

Inventive Principle:
