摘要:
Compounds and compositions are presented that inhibit K-ras, and especially mutant K-ras. Certain compounds preferentially or even selectively inhibit specific forms of mutant K-Ras, and particularly the G12D mutant form.
摘要:
Omics patient data are analyzed using sequences or diff objects of tumor and matched normal tissue to identify patient and disease specific mutations, using transcriptomic data to identify expression levels of the mutated genes, and pathway analysis based on the so obtained omic data to identify specific pathway characteristics for the diseased tissue. Most notably, many different tumors have shared pathway characteristics, and identification of a pathway characteristic of a tumor may thus indicate effective treatment options ordinarily not considered when tumor analysis is based on anatomical tumor type only.
摘要:
Various protein markers can be used as post-treatment relapse predictors in HER2 positive breast cancer. Notably, these markers appear to be independent of the size of the tumor, metastasis status, grade, and hormone receptor status. In addition, HER2 quantities were in large part not correlated with likelihood of relapse.
摘要:
An in vitro method of validating an immune therapy that targets a neoepitope of a tumor of a patient is described. The method comprises the steps of using a synthetic antibody against a tumor- and patient-specific neoepitope to enrich or isolate a cellular component carrying the tumor- and patient-specific neoepitope in a bodily fluid obtained from the patient; exposing the cellular component to a modified immune competent cell that expresses a chimeric protein or is coupled to an antibody, wherein the chimeric protein or antibody has binding specificity against the tumor- and patient-specific neoepitope; and detecting an immune response of the modified immune competent cell.
摘要:
In certain embodiments, methods and compositions are provided for generating immune responses against tumor neo-antigens or neo-epitopes. In particular embodiments there may be provided methods for constructing and producing recombinant adenovirus-based vector vaccines containing nucleic acid sequences encoding tumor neo-antigens and neo-epitopes that allow for vaccinations in individuals with preexisting immunity to adenovirus. In additional embodiments, methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of cancer using immunotherapy based on recombinant adenovirus-based vectors combined with engineered natural killer cells. In some embodiments, the methods and compositions further comprises a nucleic acid encoding for an immunological fusion partner.
摘要:
Cancer is treated using coordinated treatment regimens that uses various compounds and compositions that drive a tumor from the escape phase of cancer immunoediting to the elimination and equilibrium phase of cancer immunoediting.
