The present disclosure relates to imaging agent formulations, methods for preparing imaging agent formulations and methods for using the same. The present disclosure also relates to kits for imaging agent formulations.

The invention described herein pertains to drug delivery conjugates for targeted therapy. The invention described herein relates to methods of treating folate receptor-expressing cancers with a folate-tubulysin conjugate. The invention described herein also relates to methods of treating folate-expressing cancers with a folate tubulysin conjugate in patients where stable disease results after treatment with the folate-tubulysin conjugate.

Disclosed are multivalent, integrin-receptor antagonists that are useful in a variety of therapeutic, prophylactic, and/or diagnostic imaging modalities. In illustrative embodiments, such compounds have been prepared and utilized in the imaging, detection, localization, and/or quantitation of one or more samples of biological interest. Similarly, these compounds, as well as formulations comprising them, find utility in the prevention, treatment, and/or amelioration of one or more symptoms of a disease, abnormal condition, dysfunction, etc., including, for example proliferative diseases such as cancer in affected animals. In certain embodiments, fluorescently- or radio-labeled-non-peptidic, multivalent integrin α.sub.vβ.sub.3 compounds are provided. Compositions including such compounds have been shown to have utility in detecting, localizing, quantitating, and/or imaging integrin α.sub.vβ.sub.3 receptor-expressing cells, including, for example, cancer cells in vitro, in vivo, and/or in situ.

The present invention relates to novel compounds of formula (I), or a detectably labelled compound, stereoisomer, racemic mixture, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, that can be employed in the imaging of alpha-synuclein aggregates and determining an amount thereof. Furthermore, the compounds can be used for diagnosing a disease, disorder or abnormality associated with an alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and/or Lewy neurites (such as Parkinson's disease), determining a predisposition to such a disease, disorder or abnormality, prognosing such a disease, disorder or abnormality, monitoring the evolution of the disease in a patient suffering from such a disease, disorder or abnormality, monitoring the progression of such a disease, disorder or abnormality and predicting responsiveness of a patient suffering from such a disease, disorder or abnormality to a treatment thereof.

A method of treating cognitive impairment associated with chemotherapy treatment in a subject in need thereof includes on-invasively delivering a combined stimulus to the subject to invoke gamma entrainment in a brain of the subject. The combined stimulus includes an auditory stimulus having a frequency of from about 20 Hz to about 60 Hz, and a visual stimulus having a frequency of from about 20 Hz to about 60 Hz.

The present invention provides new methods for inflammation and infection imaging and related medical applications thereof. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for the diagnosis of inflammation and/or infection. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for the treatment or prevention of inflammation and/or infection. In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for monitoring the effect of inflammation and/or infection treatment, and/or methods for monitoring an inflammation and/or infection treatment regimen. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for selecting subjects for an inflammation and/or infection treatment. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for determining the dosage of a drug for the treatment of inflammation and/or infection.

The present invention includes an engineered cell comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) further comprising a nucleic acid molecule comprising a suicide gene comprising a ligand binding domain and a suicide domain wherein the ligand binding domain is capable of binding to radiolabeled tracer or a small molecule suicide switch. This invention also includes methods for inducing apoptosis of an engineered cell, methods for assessing the efficacy or toxicity of an adoptive cell therapy in a subject, methods for detecting the quantity of engineered T cells in a subject, methods for monitoring an immunotherapy treatment in a subject and methods of imaging engineered T cells in a subject. In some embodiments, the imaging is performed via Positron Emission Topography (PET). This invention further includes a chemical inducer of dimerization (CID), wherein the CID is a Bis-Trimethoprim (Bis-TMP).

The invention described herein pertains to drug delivery conjugates for targeted therapy. The invention described herein relates to methods of treating folate receptor-expressing cancers with a folate-tubulysin conjugate. The invention described herein also relates to methods of treating folate-expressing cancers with a folate tubulysin conjugate in patients where stable disease results after treatment with the folate-tubulysin conjugate.

Compounds having formula I, ##STR00001##
or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates or N-oxides thereof are provided and are useful for binding to CXCR7, and treating diseases that are dependent, at least in part, on CXCR7 activity. Accordingly, the present invention provides in further aspects, compositions containing one or more of the above-noted compounds in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
