THERAPEUTIC CELL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING AND USE THEREOF
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.
Antigen presenting scaffolds for immune-cell manipulation
The present invention relates to artificial antigen presenting cell (aAPC) scaffolds to provide cells with specific functional stimulation to obtain phenotypic and functional properties ideal to mediate tumor regression or viral clearance. In particular, the scaffolds of the present invention comprise antigens, such as peptide-MHC (pMHC) class I molecules, and specific combinations of cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules to allow effective expansion and functional stimulation of specific T cells.
Combination immunotherapy compositions against cancer and methods
Disclosed are immunotherapeutic compositions and the concurrent use of combinations of such compositions for the improved induction of therapeutic immune responses and/or for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of disease, including, but not limited to, cancer and infectious disease.
Virus Vectors Expressing Multiple Epitopes of Tumor Associated Antigens For Inducing Antitumor Immunity
Provided are polynucleotides and viral vectors, particularly, alphavirus vectors such as Sindbis viral vectors, which encode multiple, e.g., two or more, epitopes of at least one tumor associated antigen in which each epitope is separated by a processing or enzyme cleavage site. The multiple epitopes of the two or more tumor associated antigens encoded by the described polynucleotides and viral vectors may be the same or different. Methods of treating mammalian subjects having a cancer or tumor expressing the tumor associated antigen epitopes are provided, in which the viral vectors encoding the multiple epitopes, as well as other immunostimulatory or immunomodulatory components, generate an anti-cancer or anti-tumor immune response in which high levels of effector T cells increase the survivability of tumored mammalian subjects and result in epitope spreading, thus providing a further enhancement of the immune response.
COMBINATION OF ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATE AND CDK9 INHIBITOR
A pharmaceutical product for administration of an anti HER2 antibody-drug conjugate in combination with a CDK9 inhibitor is provided. The anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate is an antibody-drug conjugate in which a drug linker represented by the following formula (wherein A represents the connecting position to an antibody) is conjugated to an anti-HER2 antibody via a thioether bond. Also provided is a therapeutic use and method wherein the antibody-drug conjugate and the CDK9 inhibitor are administered in combination to a subject: Formula (I):
##STR00001##
INHIBITORY CHIMERIC RECEPTOR ARCHITECTURES
Provided herein are inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor compositions and cells comprising such compositions. Also provided are methods of using inhibitory chimeric antigen receptors and cells.
Breast Cancer Vaccine
The invention relates to vaccines for breast cancer therapy. The invention also relates to methods of preventing and treating breast cancer using a breast cancer vaccine.
Tumor treatment method with an individualized peptide vaccine
Cancer is treated via a coordinated treatment regimen that use various compounds and compositions that employ a combination vaccination together with immune modulatory treatment and biasing of an immune response towards a Th1 profile.

Combination immunotherapy for treatment of triple-negative breast cancer
The present invention concerns a method for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in an individual, and/or for inducing an immune response to HER2/neu in an individual with a triple-negative breast cancer expressing low levels of HER2/neu, the method comprising administering to the individual: (a) an effective amount of trastuzumab, or derivative thereof; and (b) an effective amount of nelipepimut-S, or variant thereof, optionally with an immunological adjuvant. Preferably, the method includes a preparatory or priming phase comprising a frequency and duration of trastuzumab or trastuzumab derivative administration sufficient to substantially increase the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mediated presentation of HER2 peptide fragments to the patient immune system. The invention also includes medicaments and kits for treating TNBC in an individual, and/or for inducing an immune response to HER2/neu in an individual with a TNBC expressing HER2/neu.
