ANTIBODIES AGAINST GLUCOCORTICOID-INDUCED TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR (GITR) AND USES THEREOF

Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that bind to glucocorticoid-inducible TNF receptor (GITR). Also provided are uses of these proteins in therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of cancer. Further provided are cells that produce the antibodies, polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies, and vectors comprising the polynucleotides encoding the heavy and/or light chain variable region of the antibodies.

METHODS OF TREATING CEA-POSITIVE CANCERS USING PD-1 AXIS BINDING ANTAGONISTS AND ANTI-CEA/ANTI-CD3 BISPECIFIC ANTIBODIES

The invention provides compositions and methods for treating CEA-positive cancers. The method comprising administering a PD-1 axis binding antagonist and a bispecific antibody that targets CEA and CD3.

METHODS FOR UPREGULATING IMMUNE RESPONSES USING COMBINATIONS OF ANTI-RGMb AND ANTI-PD-1 AGENTS
20180002422 · 2018-01-04 ·

The present invention relates to methods for upregulating immune responses using combinations of anti-RGMb and anti-PD-1 agents.

METHODS OF INCREASING DELIVERY OF ANTI-CANCER AGENTS TO TARGETS

The present invention provides compositions and methods for increasing the permeability of a stroma around a neoplasm, and particularly to cancer cells associated with solid tumors. In one embodiment, combining a therapeutic IgE antibody with an anti-cancer agent in accordance with the invention increases the delivery of the anticancer agent to the site of, for example, a solid tumor in a subject. In one embodiment, combining a therapeutic IgE antibody with an anti-cancer agent in accordance with the invention potentiates a tumor's responsiveness and sensitivity to the anti-cancer agent.

PATIENT-SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR TREATING HETEROGENEOUS TUMORS
20180009901 · 2018-01-11 · ·

In the field of therapy, specifically patient-specific immune therapy for cancer, improved therapeutic modalities are provided for. The identity and dosage of the administered anti-tumor antibodies is determined and dynamically adjusted to the individual patient's condition, disease and/or treatment progression, thus providing anti-cancer treatment which may be particularly advantageous for the treatment of heterogeneous tumors.

Method of treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) associate with COVID-19 by administering an anti-LIGHT antibody
