摘要:
Provided herein are methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer comprising the combined administration of an anti-sMIC antibody and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Methods and compositions for treating colitis with anti-sMIC antibodies are also provided. Also provided herein are methods of predicting a response to an anti-sMIC antibody or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy by measuring the level of serum sMIC in a subject.

The invention is in the field of therapy of gut inflammatory diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) including Gluten hypersensitivity. The inventors showed that ELA2A secreted by epithelial cells in the extracellular space is over-expressed in IBD conditions degrading tight junction proteins and controlling cytokines expression. Overexpression of ELA2A conferred a pro-inflammatory phenotype both in cell expression systems and in vivo in animal model of IBD. The inventors also showed that ELA2 over-expressing intestinal epithelial cells increase the release of CXCL8 protein compared to control cells. The increased CXCL-8 protein release observed in cells overexpressing ELA2A is inhibited by ELAFIN addition to the culture, in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, the invention relates to inhibitors of Elastase ELA2A, for use in the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac disease, and Pouchitis.
摘要:
Methods for treating pancreatic cancer using an IL-20 antagonist, which can be an antibody that binds IL-20 or an IL-20 receptor, thereby blocking the signaling pathway mediated by IL-20.
摘要:
The present invention concerns compositions and methods of use of bispecific antibodies comprising at least one binding site for a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) and at least one binding site for an antigen expressed on an effector T cell, NK cell, monocyte or neutrophil. The bispecific antibodies are of use for inducing an immune response against a TAA-expressing tumor. The methods may comprising administering the bispecific antibody in combination with one or more therapeutic agents such as antibody-drug conjugates, interferons (preferably interferon-α), and/or checkpoint inhibitor antibodies. The bispecific antibody is capable of targeting effector T cells, NK cells, monocytes or neutrophils to induce leukocyte-mediated cytotoxicity of cancer cells. The cytotoxic immune response is enhanced by co-administration of interferon, checkpoint inhibitor antibody and/or ADC. In preferred embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is a chimeric or humanized anti-PD1 antibody as described herein.
摘要:
Methods of predicting responsiveness of a cancer in a subject to a cancer therapy including a VEGF targeting agent are provided. The methods may include obtaining a sample from the subject, determining an expression level of at least one biomarker selected from the group consisting of VEGF-D and PIGF in a sample from the subject, comparing the expression level of the biomarker in the sample to a reference level of the biomarker, and predicting the responsiveness of the cancer to treatment with the cancer therapy including a VEGF targeting agent. Optionally, the methods may further include administering a VEGF target agent and/or an anticancer or chemotherapy agent to the subject. Additional methods of prognosing and treating a cancer in a subject are also provided.
摘要:
In certain embodiments the present invention provides methods useful in the treatment of lung cancer, such as lung adenocarcinoma. In some embodiments such methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a TNF-a inhibitor, such as the TNF- a inhibitory antibody certolizumab, optionally together with one or more chemotherapeutic agents. In certain embodiments the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a TNF- a inhibitor and one or more chemotherapeutic agents. These and other embodiments are described further in the present patent application.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated enteropathy in subjects who have been on antiretroviral therapy by orally administering immunoglobulin/protein isolate.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies that bind and inhibit activation of human Notch3 are disclosed. The antibodies can be used to treat cell proliferative diseases and disorders, including certain forms of cancer, associated with activation and/or overexpression of Notch3.
