Administration of an antibody that specifically binds IL-1α is useful for treating cachexia and increasing the lifespan of a subject suffering from cachexia.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating cancer in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a combination therapy comprising administering (1) at least one anti-cancer therapy, and (2) a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an amount of an IL-1α inhibitor, wherein the combination therapy is effective to reduce at least one symptom of the cancer in the subject.

The present invention relates to anti-VEGF/anti-IL-1beta antibodies and methods of using the same.

Provided are a bispecific molecule and preparation and use thereof. The bispecific molecule includes a molecule that specifically binds an interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) and an antibody that targets a free inflammatory factor. The molecule that specifically binds the cell surface interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) aggregates the antibody that targets the free inflammatory factor linked thereto on or near the cell surface, thereby the local concentration of the bispecific molecule on or near the cell surface is increased, adverse reactions are avoided, treatment effectiveness is increased and the infection risk of patients is also reduced.

Administration of an antibody that, specifically binds IL-1α is useful for reducing the chance or severity of a major adverse clinical event occurring in a mammalian subject having received or expected to receive surgical treatment for a stenosed blood vessel, and for reducing the change of restenosis occurring (or increasing the time until restenosis occurs) in a mammalian subject having received or expected to receive surgical treatment for a stenosed blood vessel.

Monoclonal antibody that specifically binds IL-1RAcP, or an antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising: a) a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising CDR1H, CDR2H and/or CDR3H, wherein the CDR1H region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 155-231, wherein the CDR2H region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 232-308, and wherein the CDR3H region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 309-385; and b) a light chain variable region (VL) comprising CDR1L, CDR2L and/or CDR3L, wherein the CDR1L region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 386-462, wherein the CDRL2 region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 463-539, and wherein the CDR3L region comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group of SEQ ID NO: 540-616 The monoclonal antibody is characterized in that it inhibits IL-1RAcP induced NFkB activity, useful in treatment of IL-1RAcP related diseases.

The number of acne lesions in a human subject is reduced by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition that includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that selectively binds IL-1α. Anxiety and other psychiatric conditions are also improved with this treatment.

Use of an IL-1β inhibitor such as canakinumab for the treatment and/or prevention of osteoarthritis and complications related thereto.

The present invention relates to an IL-1β binding antibody or a functional fragment thereof for use in preventing or reducing risk of experiencing a recurrent cardiovascular (CV) event or a cerebrovascular event in a patient that has suffered of a qualifying CV event.

The present invention relates to a method for treating or alleviating the symptoms of pulmonary sarcoidosis in a subject, comprising administering about 25 mg to about 300 mg of canakinumab.
