Abstract:
Provided herein are anti-PD-1/LAG3 bispecific antibodies and antigen-binding fragments. Also provided here are methods and uses of these antibodies and antigen-binding fragments in the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for the clinical treatment of tumors (e.g., advanced solid tumors) in patients having certain levels of serum IL-8 using an anti-IL-8 antibody in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody.
Abstract:
Antibodies that bind ICOS (Inducible T cell Co-Stimulator). Therapeutic use of anti-ICOS antibodies for modulating the ratio between regulatory T cells and effector T cells, to stimulate the immune system of patients, including use in treating cancers. Combinations of anti-ICOS antibodies and other drugs for immunooncology.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved treatment of cancer, in particular to a treatment with a composition of CTL peptides for patients after a treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Abstract:
Described are antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and the use of these polypeptides to inhibit the proliferation of regulatory T cells (T- regs) and/or myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), to expand T effector cell populations or function, and to reduce the proliferation of, or directly kill, tumor cells, such as tumor cells that express TNFR2 antigen. The polypeptides, such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, are TNFR2 antagonists, such as dominant TNFR2 antagonists. The polypeptides can be used to suppress the T-reg- or MDSC-mediated deactivation of tumor reactive T lymphocytes, expand populations of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells, and/or to directly kill TNFR2+ tumor cells. The antagonistic TNFR2 polypeptides described herein can be used to treat a wide variety of cancers and infectious diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention provides preparation of medicaments for use in treating and methods of treating soft tissue sarcoma, comprising administering olaratumab and pembrolizumab to a subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
Provided are dosage regimens for combination therapy using PD-1 axis binding antagonists and GPC3 targeting agent. For example, the dosage regimens comprise (i) a loading period within which the GPC3 targeting agent is administered, followed by (ii) a maintenance period within which the PD-1 axis binding antagonist and the GPC3 targeting agent are administered.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, in some embodiments, methods of promoting an immune response in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a population of immune cells that express an exogenous enzyme that facilitates immune cell function in a nutrient-poor environment. Other embodiments of the invention include methods of promoting an immune response to a tumor in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an agent that provides a one-carbon unit (e.g., formate) and an agent that promotes an anti-tumor response, and methods of promoting an immune response to a tumor in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of an agent that inhibits consumption of metabolic fuels by tumor cells. The invention also provides, in other embodiments, compositions comprising an ex vivo population of immune cells expressing an exogenous enzyme that enhances immune cell function in nutrient poor environments, and compositions comprising a nucleic acid expression construct encoding an inhibitor of glucose metabolism, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an immunogenic composition comprising at least an antigen and CTLA4 antibody. Also disclosed herein is a method for enhancing an immune response in a subject. The method may comprise administering the immunogenic composition to the subject in need thereof.
Abstract:
Genetically modified non-human animals that express a human or chimeric (e.g., humanized) B-and T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein (BTLA or CD272), and methods of use thereof are provided.
