C07K16/3053
Combination therapy comprising nivolumab and ipilimumab
This provides pharmaceutical compositions that comprise a combination of an anti-cancer agent which is an first antibody and a second antibody. In some embodiments, the first antibody is an anti-Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) antibody. In certain embodiments, the composition is a fixed dose formulation. In certain embodiments, the composition is administered as a flat-dose. The disclosure also provides a kit for treating a subject afflicted with a disease, the kit comprising a dosage of any composition disclosed herein and instructions for using the composition in any of the disclosed methods for treating a disease.
Peptides and combination of peptides for use in immunotherapy against ovarian cancer and other cancers
The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
Kits and containers for treating vimentin expressing tumors
Provided herein are containers comprising a composition comprising an antibody comprising a heavy chain comprising SEQ ID NO:1 and a light chain comprising SEQ ID NO:2. The containers can be bottles or vials, for example, glass or polyethylene terephthalate G (PETG) bottles or vials. Also provided are kits comprising the containers and methods of treating cancer using the antibodies from the containers.
Methods and compositions for enhancing the potency of superantigen mediated cancer immunotherapy
The invention provides methods or compositions for enhancing the potency of a targeted cancer immunotherapy in a subject by using a superantigen in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor.
ANTIGEN BINDING PROTEINS SPECIFICALLY BINDING PRAME
The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins directed against PRAME protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which are selective and specific for the tumor expressed antigen PRAME, wherein the tumor antigen comprises or consists of SEQ ID NO: 8 and is in a complex with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said PRAME peptide. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are for use in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PRAME expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising said nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.
Direct immunohistochemistry assay
The application is to antibodies which have been labelled with polyenzymes (multiple enzymes), specifically polyperoxidases, for use in direct immunohistochemical assays of tissues. The antibodies used diagnostically may also be antibodies which are used therapeutically.
Antibody drug conjugates (ADC) that bind to 158P1D7 proteins
Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 158P1D7 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 158P1D7 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in glioblastoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.
COMBINATION OF A PD-1 ANTAGONIST AND A VEGFR INHIBITOR FOR TREATING CANCER
The present disclosure describes combination therapies comprising an antagonist of Programmed Death 1 receptor (PD-1) and a VEGFR inhibitor, and the use of the combination therapies for the treatment of cancer, and in particular for treating cancers that express PD-L1.
NOVEL PEPTIDES AND SCAFFOLDS FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST HEAD AND NECK SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA AND OTHER CANCERS
The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
T CELL RECEPTORS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The present disclosure is directed recombinant T cell receptors capable of binding a tyrosinase epitope, a MAGA-A1 epitope, a MART1 epitope, a MAGE-A3 epitope, or an SSX2 epitope and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules further comprise a second nucleotide sequence, wherein the second nucleotide sequence or the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleotide sequence inhibits the expression of an endogenous TCR. Other aspects of the disclosure are directed to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecule and cells comprising the recombinant TCR, the nucleic acid molecule, or the vector. Still other aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods of using the same. In some embodiments, the methods comprise treating a cancer in a subject in need thereof.
