A vaccine construct comprising an antigenic PCSK9 peptide and an immunogenic carrier, and methods of using the same that are effective to lower blood cholesterol levels in a mammal and treat dyslipidemias and related disease states in a mammal without the frequency of administration required by passive immunity strategies.

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.

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.

The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to non-aromatic molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase A2 (EphA2). The invention also includes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said peptide ligands and drug conjugates and to the use of said peptide ligands and drug conjugates in preventing, suppressing or treating a disease or disorder characterised by overexpression of EphA2 in diseased tissue (such as a tumour).

Provided are a novel agent for inhibiting metastasis of human cancer cells, and a novel agent for determining whether target cells are cancer cells or not in a human. A human cancer cell metastasis inhibitor including human dicalcin or a partial peptide thereof, and a human cancer cell determination agent including human dicalcin or a partial peptide thereof.

Methods of treating, reducing the incidence of, and/or preventing an ischemic event in a patient undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising cangrelor. The method may further comprise administering an additional therapeutic agent to the patient, the additional therapeutic agent comprising bivalirudin or a P2Y.sub.12 inhibitor. Pharmaceutical compositions useful for treating, reducing the incidence of, and/or preventing an ischemic event in a patient undergoing PCI. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise cangrelor, and optionally bivalirudin. Methods of preparing a pharmaceutical composition for treating, reducing the incidence of, and/or preventing an ischemic event in a patient undergoing PCI, comprising admixing cangrelor with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. An ischemic event may include stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, and mortality.
