The invention relates to treating or preventing anaemia in a subject, such as a mammal or human. In particular, the invention addresses moderate to severe anaemia. Additionally, the invention provides means for sparing administration of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) to subjects.

The subject matter described herein is directed to methods of preparing certain antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein the antibody is linked to the drug through a linker, wherein the drug contains a heteroaryl group having a secondary nitrogen, and the linker is attached to the drug via the secondary nitrogen. The resulting conjugates are useful in treating various diseases and conditions.

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.

The instant disclosure provides biomarkers and methods for identifying subjects at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both after adoptive immunotherapy to guide preemptive intervention, modified therapy, or the like. For example, adverse event biomarkers may be measured in a subject before pre-conditioning chemotherapy, before immunotherapy (e.g., adoptive immunotherapy infusion comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cell), or shortly after pre-conditioning chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Exemplary biomarkers include temperature, cytokine levels and endothelial activation biomarkers, such as angiopoietin-2, von Willebrand factor (vWF), ratio of angiopoietin-2 to angiopoietin-1, and ratio of ADAMTS13 to vWF. Also provided are methods of treating subjects identified as at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both to minimize such potential adverse events.

Contemplated cancer therapies comprise co-administration of aldoxorubicin with an immune therapeutic composition that preferably comprises a vaccine component and a cytotoxic cell component.

Compositions and methods to treat or prevent neurodegeneration in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal in need thereof an effective amount of an inhibitor of ACVR1 (Alk2).
