The present invention relates to monospecific or bispecific antibody molecules that specifically bind the human DR5 antigen. The invention relates in particular to DR5-specific antibody molecules of the IgG1 isotype having a mutation in the Fc region that enhances clustering of IgG molecules after cell-surface antigen binding leading to the induction of DR5 signaling, apoptosis and cell death. The invention further relates to a combination of antibody molecules binding different epitopes on DR5. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these molecules and the treatment of cancer using these compositions.
An antibody which binds to human DR5 and comprises a variable heavy chain (VH) region and a variable light chain (VL) region, wherein the VH and VL regions comprise VHCDR1, VHCDR2, and VHCDR3 domains comprising the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
