GENETICALLY ENGINEERED IMMUNE CELLS TARGETING CD70 FOR USE IN TREATING SOLID TUMORS
A method for treating a solid tumor (e.g., a CD70+ solid tumor) comprising one or more cycles of treatment, each cycle comprising administering to a human patient in need thereof an effective amount of a population of genetically engineered T cells after a lymphodepleting therapy, and optionally a treatment comprising an anti-CD38 antibody. The population of genetically engineered T cells comprises T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds CD70.
PEPTIDES, COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES, AND CELL BASED MEDICAMENTS FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST URINARY BLADDER 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.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TCR REPROGRAMMING USING FUSION PROTEINS
Disclosed herein are dosage and administration methods for treatment of a mesothelin-expressing cancer in a human comprising administration of, e.g., a plurality of anti-mesothelin T cell receptor fusion protein-expressing T cells.
Hidden Frame Neoantigens
The invention relates to the field of cancer. In particular, it relates to the field of immune system directed approaches for tumor treatment, reduction and control. Some aspects of the invention relate to the identification of tumor specific neoantigens, such as those resulting from frameshift mutations or DNA rearrangements. Such neoantigens are useful for developing tumor treatments, such as vaccines or cellular immunotherapies and other means of stimulating a neoantigen specific immune response against a tumor in individuals. A new class of neoantigens, referred to herein as ‘Hidden Frames’, as well as methods of identifying such neoantigens is provided.
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.
METHOD FOR ENHANCING CELLULAR IMMUNOTHERAPY
Provided are methods and compositions directed to the treatment of an individual having cancer by (i) administering to the individual an adoptive cellular immunotherapy composition comprising CAR T cells and (ii) administering to the individual an interleukin-15 receptor agonist, such as, for example, a long-acting interleukin-15 receptor agonist.
Compositions and method for optimized peptide vaccines using residue optimization
Described herein is an immunogenic composition comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding two or more amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 19 to 50. Also described herein is an immunogenic composition comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding two or more amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 141 to 272. Also described herein is an immunogenic composition comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding two or more amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 273 to 322. Also described herein is an immunogenic composition comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding two or more amino acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 354 to 458.
Methods and compositions for treating cancer
Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and compositions (e.g., cell compositions) for the treatment of cancer.
BLOOD-BASED TUMOR MUTATION BURDEN PREDICTS OVERALL SURVIVAL IN NSCLC
The disclosure generally relates to methods for treating non-small cell lung cancer patients based on use of blood-based tumor mutation burden to predict overall survival in patients treated with durvalumab, tremelimumab, and/or a chemotherapy agent. The disclosure also relates to methods for treating non-small cell lung cancer patients based on identification of mutations in circulating tumor DNA associated with sensitivity or resistance to immunotherapy.
ONCOLYTIC VIRUS IN COMBINATION WITH IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITOR FOR TREATING TUMORS
The present application relates to a medicine for treating tumors. A novel attenuated oncolytic virus strain is provided by means of a site-directed mutation of a wild-type virus matrix protein M of a vesicular stomatitis virus. On the basis of the attenuated oncolytic virus strain, an oncolytic virus vaccine is provided by inserting an exogenous gene into the attenuated strain. A medicine capable of treating multiple types of tumors is provided by the use of the oncolytic virus vaccine in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor.
