NOVEL PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST PANCREATIC CANCER AND OTHER CANCERS

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

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.

TARGET PEPTIDES FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY AND DIAGNOSTICS

A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

Pharmaceutical composition comprising a polymeric carrier cargo complex and at least one protein or peptide antigen

The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition including (e.g. for use as an adjuvant) a polymeric carrier cargo complex, comprising as a carrier a polymeric carrier formed by disulfide-crosslinked cationic components; and as a cargo at least one nucleic acid molecule, and at least one antigen that is selected from an antigen from a pathogen associated with infectious disease; an antigen associated with allergy or allergic disease; an antigen associated with autoimmune disease; or an antigen associated with a cancer or tumour disease, or in each case a fragment, variant and/or derivative of said antigen. The pharmaceutical composition allows for efficient induction of an adaptive immune response directed against said antigen. The present invention furthermore provides kits, as well as the use of the pharmaceutical composition or the kit as a vaccine, particularly in the treatment of infectious diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and tumour or cancer diseases.

VACCINE CONJUGATES

The present invention relates to conjugates comprising B- and T-cell epitopes, vaccine compositions comprising said conjugates, their use in the prevention and treatment of cancer, such as prostate cancer, as well as kits comprising the conjugates and/or vaccine compositions. Also claimed are particular T-cell epitope-containing antigenic peptides, and nucleic acids encoding them and constructs and vectors comprising such nucleic acids.

ANTI-TUMOR DNA VACCINE WITH PD-1 AND LAG-3 PATHWAY BLOCKADE
20220347282 · 2022-11-03 ·

The present invention provides combination therapies and methods of treating cancer, including, cancers that are resistant to PD-1 therapy. The combination therapies described herein comprise a DNA vaccine to a tumor antigen, anti-PD-1 therapy, and an anti-LAG-3 therapy, which provides an increased T cell response against the cancer.

Prostate Neoantigens And Their Uses

Disclosed herein are self-replicating RNA molecules encoding prostate neoantigens, vaccines, and methods of treating and preventing prostate cancer.
