Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to biaryl compounds of formula (I) which can inhibit AAK1 (adaptor associated kinase 1), compositions comprising such compounds and their use for treating e.g. pain, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
Abstract:
Methods of treating renal transplant rejection using anti-CD40L domain antibodies are provided. The anti-CD40L dAbs are less likely to cause platelet aggregation and thus cause thromboembolism. Appropriate anti-CD40L dAbs doses and administration regimens are also provided. Combination treatments for transplant rejection, particularly renal transplant rejection, using anti-CD40L dAbs, a CTLA4 mutant molecule (e.g., belatacept) and/or anti-CD28 optionally with conventional immunosuppressive renal transplant therapy are provided.
Abstract:
There are disclosed compounds of formula (I) that modulate or inhibit the enzymatic activity of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds and methods of treating proliferative disorders, such as cancer, viral infections and/or inflammatory disorders utilizing the compounds of the invention.
Abstract:
Fibronectin type III (10Fn3) binding domains having novel designs that are associated with reduced immunogenicity are provided. The application describes alternative 10Fn3 binding domains in which certain immunogenic regions are not modified when producing a binder in order to maintain recognition as a self antigen by the host organism. The application also describes 10Fn3 binding domains in which HLA anchor regions have been destroyed thereby reducing the immunogenic contribution of the adjoining region. Also provided are 10Fn3 domains having novel combinations of modified regions that can bind to a desired target with high affinity.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally directed to compounds which can inhibit AAK1 (adaptor associated kinase 1), compositions comprising such compounds, and methods for inhibiting AAK1.
Abstract:
The present invention provides isolated monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind LAG-3, and have optimized functional properties compared to previously described anti-LAG-3 antibodies, such as antibody 25F7 (US 2011/0150892 A1). These properties include reduced deamidation sites, while still retaining high affinity binding to human LAG-3, and physical (i.e., thermal and chemical) stability. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of the invention, expression vectors, host cells and methods for expressing the antibodies of the invention are also provided, as well as immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies. The present invention also provides methods for detecting LAG-3, as well as methods for treating stimulating immune responses using an anti-LAG-3 antibody of the invention. Combination therapy, in which the antibodies are co-administered with at least one additional immunostimulatory antibody, is also provided.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to compounds of Formula (I), which are RXFP1 receptor agonists, compositions containing them, and methods of using them, for example, in the treatment of heart failure, fibrotic diseases, and related diseases such as lung disease (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), kidney disease (e.g., chronic kidney disease), or hepatic disease (e.g., non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and portal hypertension).
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor, e.g., lung cancer, having a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) status comprising administering to the subject an immunotherapy, e.g., an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. The present disclosure also provides a method for identifying a subject suitable for an immunotherapy, e.g., a treatment with an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof, comprising measuring a TMB status of a biological sample of the subject. A high TMB status identifies the patient as suitable for treatment with an anti-PD-I antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. The TMB status can be determined by sequencing nucleic acids in the tumor and identifying a genomic alteration, e.g., a somatic nonsynonymous mutation, in the sequenced nucleic acids.
