The invention relates to a method of treating chronic kidney disease due to sickle cell nephropathy in a patient in need of such treatment, comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of an anti-P-selectin antibody or a binding fragment thereof to said patient and related invention embodiments (uses, methods, pharmaceutical preparations and use in the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations).

The present disclosure is directed to antibodies binding to and neutralizing Rift Valley Fever Virus and methods for use thereof.

Embodiments concern methods and composition for preventing or treating a bacterial infection, particularly infection by a Staphylococcus bacterium. The embodiments concern improved non-toxigenic Protein A (SpA) variant.

Blockade of immune checkpoints such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) shows promise in patients with cancer. Inhibitory antibodies directed at these receptors have been shown to break immune tolerance and promote anti-tumor immunity. These agents work particularly well in patients with a certain category of tumor. Such tumors may be particularly susceptible to treatment because of the multitude of neoantigens which they produce.

The present disclosure provides improved methods of treatment of NSCLC cancers using telisotuzumab vedotin.

The disclosure describes HCMV ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccines, as well as methods of using the vaccines and compositions comprising the vaccines.

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of amyloid deposition diseases using chimeric (e.g., mouse-human) antibody are disclosed, including a method for treating amyloid deposition diseases with cardiac involvement by administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising a chimeric anti-amyloid fibril antibody. The methods herein can improve myocardial function in patients diagnosed with light chain amyloid light chain amyloidosis (ALA) having a cardiac involvement in as little as three weeks after treatment.

The current invention relates to the treatment of cancer. In particular the invention relates to modulating the anti-tumor immunity in a cancer patient. The disclosed invention is in particular useful in the treatment of so-called cold tumors and/or in tumors that are resistant to or acquired resistance to treatment with immune checkpoint modulators. Compounds for use in the disclosed treatment, combinations and methods of treatment are provided.

The invention provides methods and compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) for treating breast cancer (e.g., TNBC (e.g., eTNBC)) in a subject. In some aspects, the methods include administering a treatment regimen including a PD-1 axis binding antagonist (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibody (e.g., atezolizumab) or an anti-PD-1 antibody), a taxane (e.g., nab-paclitaxel or paclitaxel), an anthracycline (e.g., doxorubicin or epirubicin), and an alkylating agent (e.g., a nitrogen mustard derivative (e.g., cyclophosphamide)) to the subject. In some aspects, the treatment regimen increases the subject's likelihood of having a pathologic complete response (pCR) as compared to treatment with the taxane, the anthracycline, and the alkylating agent without the PD-1 axis binding antagonist. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions for use in treating breast cancer (e.g., TNBC (e.g., eTNBC)) in a subject.

Provided herein are methods of selecting cancer patients for treatment with a covalent EGFR/HER2 TKI, a HER2/HER3 targeting antibody, or a combination of a covalent EGFR/HER2 TKI and a HER2/HER3 targeting antibody as well as methods of treating cancer patients so selected. Cancer patients are selected for treatment if their cancer has an NRG1 fusion. Selected patients are then treated with a covalent EGFR/HER2 TKI, a HER2/HER3 targeting antibody, or a combination of a covalent EGFR/HER2 TKI and a HER2/HER3 targeting antibody.
