Disclosed is an isolated or purified T cell receptor (TCR) having antigenic specificity for mutated Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) presented in the context of an HLA-Cw*0802 molecule. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.

The present invention relates to an immunoassay method for the detection of Chromogranin A (or fragment(s) thereof) comprising the steps of contacting a sample suspected of comprising Chromogranin A with a first antibody or an antigen-binding fragment or derivative thereof specific for Chromogranin A and a second antibody or an antigen-binding fragment or derivative thereof specific for Chromogranin A under conditions allowing for the formation of a ternary complex between Chromogranin A and the two antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or derivates thereof, and detecting the binding of the two antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or derivates thereof to Chromogranin A. Also provided are antibodies directed against amino acid residues 124 to 144 and 280 to 301 of Chromogranin A and their use in the immunoassay method.

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of cancer and for monitoring the progression of cancer and/or the therapeutic efficacy of an anticancer treatment in a sample of a subject by detecting oncogenic and cancer related proteins in microvesicles, and to the use of an agent blocking exchange of microvesicles for treating cancer.

The present invention provides methods for selecting a suitable anticancer drug for the treatment of patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present invention also provides methods for determining drug resistance in NSCLC patients receiving EGFR inhibitor therapy.

The present disclosure provides diagnostic methods useful for predicting a patient's response to alvocidib and guiding a physician decision to administer alvocidib to the patient.

Isolated monoclonal antibodies which bind to human c-Met, the hepatocyte growth factor receptor, and related antibody-based compositions and molecules, are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and therapeutic and diagnostic methods for using the antibodies are also disclosed.

Methods for targeting a tumor antigen for immunotherapy based on HLA allele type and the mutations present in the tumor antigen are presented. A patient's HLA allele type and a tumor antigen derived from a mutation in cancer driver gene can be matched with a majority allele type having a minimum affinity to the same tumor antigen or with those of a plurality of patients with a history of cancer treatment. Upon matching, a cancer treatment against the tumor antigen can be selected and administered to the patient to achieve a desired effect.

The present invention provides a therapeutic agent and others for various tumors including angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), which is an orphan disease. The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent and others for tumors identified by phosphorylation of a proto-oncogene protein belonging to the VAV family, which comprises dasatinib or a prodrug thereof or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof or a hydrate or solvate thereof as an active ingredient.

Chemical entities that are kinase inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using these chemical entities, e.g., for treatment of cancer are described.
