The present disclosure is directed to individual peptide immunogen constructs targeting portions of the Interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein, compositions containing the constructs, antibodies elicited by the constructs, and methods for making and using the constructs and compositions thereof. The disclosed IL-6 peptide immunogen constructs contain a B cell epitope from IL-6 linked to a heterologous T helper cell (Th) epitope directly or through an optional heterologous spacer. The IL-6 peptide immunogen constructs stimulate the generation of highly specific antibodies directed to the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) binding site for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases impacted by IL-6 dysregulation.

The present disclosure provides for chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that specifically target a human Kallikrein-2 (hK2), and immunoresponsive cells comprising such CARs, for the treatment of cancer.

A method of vaccinating a subject is provided, where a cancer protective response is produced. A first vaccine comprises an adenovirus vector comprising at least one nucleic acid molecule that produces a cancer protective response is administered, followed by one or more second vaccines comprising an alphavirus replicon particle comprising RNA comprising or produced from the nucleic acid molecule. In an embodiment the cancer is prostate cancer.

Disclosed herein are PSMA and/or STEAP1 polynucleotides, polypeptides, vectors, viruses, vaccines, and vaccine combinations, and their uses.

Provided herein is technology relating to cancer treatment and prevention and particularly, but not exclusively, to compositions and methods related to therapies for prostate cancer.

The present disclosure relates to a method of treating urothelial carcinoma using Cabozantinib, a kinase inhibitor.

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.

Antigen binding molecules, chimeric receptors, and engineered immune cells to STEAP1 are disclosed in accordance with the invention. The invention further relates to vectors, compositions, and methods of treatment and/or detection using the STEAP1 antigen binding molecules and engineered immune cells.

Provided herein are methods of treating neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) with immune cells comprising a CEA-CAM5 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Also provided are methods of reducing or eliminating NEPC cancer cells with immune cells comprising a CEACAM5 CAR. Also provided are methods of treating a cancer with a molecular signature that is similar to a molecular signature of NEPC (e.g., small cell lung cancer (SCLC), small cell carcinoma of the pancreas (SCCP), or small cell prostate cancer).
