The present invention is in the field of immunotherapy, in particular tumor immunotherapy. The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations for delivering RNA to antigen presenting cells such as dendrite cells (DCs) in the spleen after systemic administration. In particular, the formulations described herein enable to induce an immune response after systemic administration of antigen-coding RNA.

This invention concerns in general treatment of diseases and pathological conditions with anti-VEGF antibodies. More specifically, the invention concerns the treatment of human patients susceptible to or diagnosed with cancer using an anti-VEGF antibody, preferably in combination with one or more additional anti-tumor therapeutic agents.

The present invention relates to specific doses of and dosing regimens for using a 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid compound in treating or preventing diseases associated with nonsense mutations. In particular, the invention relates to specific doses and dosing regimens for the use of 3-[5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-benzoic acid in mammals having diseases associated with nonsense mutations.

The invention provides methods and compositions to detect expression of one or more biomarkers, including FGFR3, TP53, and/or EGFR, for treating, diagnosing, and providing a prognosis for cancer, e.g., bladder cancer. The invention also provides kits and articles of manufacture for use in the methods.

Provided are medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells employing ProTide compounds, particularly in the prevention or treatment of cancer. The ProTide may be other than one selected from the group consisting of: NUC-1031; a ProTide derived from cordycepin; and a ProTide derived from 8-chloroadenosine. The medical uses and methods for targeting cancer stem cells are particularly useful in the treatment of relapsed or refractory cancer in human patients. Also provided are methods of selecting patients who will benefit from prevention or treatment of cancer through the medical uses or methods of treatment of the invention.

Provided herein are antibodies that specifically bind to CD25. Also provided herein are methods of making the antibodies described, and methods of use thereof. For example, the CD25 antibodies may be used therapeutically to treat cancer or autoimmune diseases.

The present disclosure relates to a combination of abiraterone acetate and niraparib, free-dose and fixed-dose combinations of abiraterone acetate and niraparib, and methods of treatment of prostate cancer with said combinations.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to the treatment of subjects with prostate cancer, in particular those with castration resistant prostate cancer, with glucocorticoid receptor antagonists. The prostate cancer may be one that has become resistant to androgen deprivation therapy, for example, by increase in glucocorticoid receptor expression and/or activity.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions related to the modification of immune effector cells to increase therapeutic efficacy. In some embodiments, immune effector cells modified to reduce expression of one or more endogenous target genes, or to reduce one or more functions of an endogenous protein to enhance effector functions of the immune cells are provided. In some embodiments, immune effector cells further modified by introduction of transgenes conferring antigen specificity, such as exogenous T cell receptors (TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are provided. Methods of treating a cell proliferative disorder, such as a cancer, using the modified immune effector cells described herein are also provided.
