Biomarkers are provided that predict whether a subject having endometrial cancer will or will not respond to a therapy comprising lenvatinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., lenvatinib mesylate). The biomarkers, compositions, and methods described herein are useful in selecting appropriate treatment modalities for and treating a subject having, suspected of having, or at risk of developing an endometrial cancer.

A method and a pharmaceutical composition for increasing wound healing in an individual in need thereof, the method comprising administering an angiopoietin like 4 (ANGPTL4) polypeptide or a therapeutically active fragment thereof.

The present disclosure demonstrates a method for predicting the risk of stroke of a subject and a method for improving the prediction accuracy of a clinical stroke risk score. The methods are based on the determination of the amount of Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and/or the amount of Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in a sample from a subject. Moreover, disclose is the use of i) the biomarker Ang-2 and/or the biomarker IGFBP7, and/or ii) at least one detection agent that specifically binds to Ang-2 and/or at least one detection agent that specifically binds to IGFBP7 in a sample from a subject for predicting the risk of stroke of said subject.

Methods and diagnostic compositions for detecting and monitoring meningiomas.

The instant disclosure provides biomarkers and methods for identifying subjects at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both after adoptive immunotherapy to guide preemptive intervention, modified therapy, or the like. For example, adverse event biomarkers may be measured in a subject before pre-conditioning chemotherapy, before immunotherapy (e.g., adoptive immunotherapy infusion comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cell), or shortly after pre-conditioning chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Exemplary biomarkers include temperature, cytokine levels and endothelial activation biomarkers, such as angiopoietin 2, von Willebrand factor (vWF), ratio of angiopoietin 2 to angiopoietin 1, and ratio of ADAMTS13 to vWF. Also provided are methods of treating subjects identified as at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both to minimize such potential adverse events.

The present disclosure relates to a method for predicting the risk of recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation in a subject based on determining the amount of the biomarker Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and optionally of at least one further biomarker in a sample from the subject. The present disclosure also contemplates a method of diagnosing Atrial Fibrillation in a subject suspected to suffer from Atrial Fibrillation based on determining the amount of the biomarker Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and optionally of at least one further biomarker in a sample from the subject. Further envisaged are devices adapted to carry out the method of the present disclosure.

A method for determining whether a subject has an impaired blood-brain barrier (BBB) or is at risk of developing an impaired blood-brain barrier (BBB) comprising determining the level of one or more biomarkers in one or more samples obtained from the subject, wherein the one or more biomarkers comprise serum amyloid A (SAA).

VEGFA-binding molecules are disclosed. Also disclosed are nucleic acids and expression vectors encoding, compositions comprising, and methods using, the VEGFA-binding molecules.

VEGFA-binding molecules are disclosed. Also disclosed are nucleic acids and expression vectors encoding, compositions comprising, and methods using, the VEGFA-binding molecules.

The disclosure provides a method of predicting the responsiveness of a wet AMD patient to anti-VEGF therapy comprising (1) determining the level of at least one marker protein selected from the group consisting of TGF-beta, BMP9, angiopoietin-1, and angiopoietin-2 in a blood, plasma or serum sample obtained from the patient, and (2) predicting the responsiveness of the patient to the anti-VEGF therapy with reference to the level determined in step (1), as well as a diagnostic agent for use in the method.
