USE OF CHELATORS FOR THE PREVENTION OF VISIBLE PARTICLE FORMATION IN PARENTERAL PROTEIN SOLUTIONS
The present invention provides methods to prevent the formation of visible particles in aqueous protein formulations, in particular the use of certain chelators, as well as compositions and pharmaceutical products obtained with said method.
BTLA ANTIBODIES
This invention relates generally to antibodies that bind to human B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) and uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to agonistic antibodies that bind human BTLA and modulate its activity, and their use in treating inflammatory, autoimmune and proliferative diseases and disorders. Suitably, the antibodies also possess an Fc modification that enhances signalling through FcγR2B.
METHODS FOR MODULATING INFLAMMASOME ACTIVITY AND INFLAMMATION IN THE LUNG
The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing inflammation in the lungs of a mammal that is afflicted by a condition that leads to inflammation in the lungs. The compositions and methods described herein include agents that inhibit inflammasome signaling in the mammal such as antibodies directed against inflammasome components used alone or in combination with extracellular vesicle uptake inhibitor(s).
Stabilised Protein Solutions
The invention relates to a method of stabilizing highly concentrated protein solutions during ultrafiltration by addition of sucrose to the highly concentrated protein solution, in particular, but not exclusively to a method of stabilizing highly concentrated antibody solutions during ultrafiltration by addition of sucrose to the highly concentrated antibody solution.
ANTI-CD3 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE
The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.
ANTI-CD36 ANTIBODIES AND THEIR USE TO TREAT CANCER
The claimed invention relates to treating cancer by targeting CD36, a fatty acid receptor. The claimed invention also relates to treating cancer metastases by targeting CD36. The invention involves using anti-CD36 antibodies as blockers or inhibitors of CD36 activity.
MESOTHELIN CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) AND ANTIBODY AGAINST PD-L1 INHIBITOR FOR COMBINED USE IN ANTICANCER THERAPY
Provided are compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of mesothelin comprising administering a cell that expresses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to mesothelin in combination with a PD-L1 inhibitor.
METHODS FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA
The present invention provides methods for treating patients suffering from familial hypercholesterolemia, including both HeFH and HoFH. The methods of the invention provide for lowering at least one lipid parameter in the patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to ANGPTL3 in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a statin, a first lipid lowering agent other than a statin, and a second lipid lowering agent other than a statin. The first non-statin lipid lowering agent is an agent that inhibits cholesterol uptake (e.g. ezetimibe) and the second non-statin lipid-lowering agent is an inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (e.g. lomitapide). The combination therapy is useful in treating hypercholesterolemia, as well as hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia, chylomicronemia, and to prevent or treat diseases or disorders, for which abnormal lipid metabolism is a risk factor, such as cardiovascular diseases.
COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF PROMOTING MYELINATION
A method of promoting the generation of oligodendrocytes from oligodendrocyte precursor cells by enhancing their survival and/or maturation includes administering to the cell an effective amount of an agent that enhances and/or induces accumulation of Δ8,9-unsaturated sterol intermediates of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway in the oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
ADJUVANT TREATMENT OF HER2-POSITIVE BREAST CANCER
Methods are provided for the adjuvant treatment of operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer in human patients by administration of pertuzumab in addition to chemotherapy and trastuzumab. The methods reduce the risk of recurrence of invasive breast cancer or death for a patient diagnosed with HER2-positive early breast cancer (eBC) compared to administration of trastuzumab and chemotherapy, without pertuzumab.
