Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions useful for treating cancer in an immunogenic manner so as to elicit local tumor regression, while priming systemic immunity. In one embodiment, there is expansion of tumor-specific immune cells through administration of fibroblasts, either natural or modified in an intratumoral and/or peritumoral manner. In other embodiments, manipulation of a local tumor microenvironment is achieved by injections of immune-modulating fibroblasts to facilitate expansion of immune effector cells, which are subsequently re-stimulated in the periphery by antigenic exposure. In another embodiment, agents are provided that allow for systemic derepression of immunity, while optionally augmenting ability of immune effector cells to expand and kill tumor cells.

The invention relates to methods for the preparation of a pharmaceutical-vesicle formulation comprising steps of: preparing and processing vesicle components and a pharmaceutical agent to entrap the pharmaceutical agent in the vesicle and form a pharmaceutical-vesicle formulation, wherein the pharmaceutical-vesicle formulation is reconstituted in a known quantity of the pharmaceutical agent dissolved in a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier to provide a biphasic pharmaceutical-vesicle formulation. The invention also relates to the associated pharmaceutical-vesicle formulations, pharmaceutical kits and uses as a medicament, in particular for the prevention or treatment of infection by bacteria such as Burkholderia pseudomallei and Francisella tularensis, and viruses such as Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV).

Embodiments of this invention provide compounds, compositions, methods, and uses for therapeutic diketopiperazines, including cyclic G-2-Allyl Proline and other cyclic Glycyl Proline compounds to treat Pitt Hopkins Syndrome and symptoms thereof, as well as manufacture of compositions, medicaments including tablets, capsules, liquid formulations, gels, injectable solutions, and other formulations that are useful for treatment of such conditions.

This disclosure relates to immunogenic peptides that are specific to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and Transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), and methods of use thereof.

Compositions and methods for treating cancer are provided. In particular, the compositions comprise an anti-neoplastic agent and either an interferon type I agonist or an interferon type II agonist, or a combination of an interferon type I agonist and an interferon type II agonist.

The present invention relates to the medical field, and in particular to the use of adefovir dipivoxil and a structural analog thereof for treating pseudorabies virus. In particular, the invention relates to the use of a compound as shown in formula (I), a stereoisomer thereof, a solvate thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a solvate of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for inhibiting the pseudorabies virus, treating pseudorabies virus infections or treating diseases related to pseudorabies virus infections.
