The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for making and using engineered killer phagocytic cells for immunotherapy in cancer or infection by expressing a chimeric antigen receptor having an enhanced phagocytic activity, the chimeric receptor is encoded by a recombinant nucleic acid.

Provided herein, in one aspect, are antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a human KIT antigen comprising the fourth and/or fifth extracellular Ig-like domains (that is, D4 and/or D5 domains), polynucleotides comprising nucleotide sequences encoding such antibodies, and expression vectors and host cells for producing such antibodies. The antibodies can inhibit KIT activity, such as ligand-induced receptor phosphorylation. Also provided herein are kits and pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibodies that specifically bind to a KIT antigen, as well as methods of treating or managing a KIT-associated disorder or disease and methods of diagnosing a KIT-associated disorder or disease using the antibodies described herein.

Novel ALK and NTRK1 fusion molecules and uses are disclosed.

Embodiments relate to compositions and methods for treating solid tumors. For example, the compositions comprise modified cells comprising an isolated polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide encoding a nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) promoter operatively associated with a polynucleotide encoding FLT3L.

This disclosure provides methods for producing neutrophils under serum-free and feeder-free conditions from protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1b)-inhibited pluripotent stem cells. The disclosure further provides PTP1b inhibited neutrophils and uses thereof. Also disclosed are methods for producing human neutrophil-DC hybrid cells and human neutrophil-DC hybrid cells produced thereby.

This invention provides a therapeutic method for treatment of EGFR gene mutation-positive lung cancer using the REIC/Dkk-3 gene in combination with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, the PD-1/-L1 immune checkpoint pathway inhibitor, and/or the molecular-targeted agent. This invention provides a therapeutic agent comprising, as an active ingredient, the REIC/Dkk-3 gene, which is used in combination with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, the PD-1/-L1 immune checkpoint pathway inhibitor, and/or the molecular-targeted agent for treatment of EGFR gene mutation-positive lung cancer.

Methods and compositions for treating cholangiocarcinoma.

The invention discloses oncogenic fusion proteins. The invention provides methods for treating gene-fusion based cancers.

The present invention provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods and compositions for treating a human metastatic cancer. Specifically, the invention provides methods of treatment and methods for determining whether an individual suffering from a cancer is responding to an AXL decoy protein-based therapy, predicting responsiveness of an individual suffering from a cancer to treatment comprising an AXL decoy protein, and methods of selecting a therapy for an individual suffering from cancer.

The present invention relates to the use of crenolanib, in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form for the treatment of FLT3 mutated proliferative disorders driven by constitutively activated mutant FLT3, and to a method of treatment of warm-blooded animals, preferably humans, in which a therapeutically effective dose of crenolanib is administered to an animal suffering from said disease or condition:
