Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating solid tumor cancers.

Compositions, methods, assays, and kits providing or incorporating derivatives of mitragynine, particularly as haptens and immunogens.

Methods and compositions related to the selective, specific disruption of multiple ligand-receptor signaling interactions, such as ligand-receptor interactions implicated in disease, are disclosed. These interactions may involve multiple cytokines in a single receptor family or multiple ligand receptor interactions from at least two distinct ligand-receptor families. The compositions may comprise polypeptides having composite sequences that comprise sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites. The methods and compositions may involve sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites that are arranged to conserve the secondary structure of each of the ligands from which the sequence fragments were taken.

The present invention relates to the field of cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer using albumin-proaerolysin prodrugs. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides prodrug compositions. In certain embodiments, a prodrug composition comprises a prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-activated pro-aerolysin (PA), wherein a PSA cleavable linker replaces the native furin cleavage site within PA; and human serum albumin (HSA) or a fragment thereof fused to the N-terminus of the PSA-activated PA.

The present invention is directed to multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor compounds. The present invention is further directed to compositions comprising those compounds. Finally, the present invention is directed to methods of treating eye conditions including, but not limited to, diabetic background retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, diabetic proliferative retinopathy, diabetic macular edema with proliferative retinopathy, proliferative fibrovascular disease, diabetic macular edema with proliferative fibrovascular disease, retinopathy of prematurity, dry macular degeneration, dry macular degeneration with drusen and wet macular degeneration, using compounds and compositions of the invention.

The present application provides methods and compositions for treating cancer by administering a composition comprising nanoparticles that comprise an mTOR inhibitor (such as a limus drug) and a carrier protein (such as an albumin) based upon the mutation status of TSC1 or TSC2 and one of VHL, RBI, PBRIM1, K.DM6A, RET, SETD2 ARID 1 A, BAP1, BRCA2, TP53, RBI, ATRX, FLT1, NTRK1, TLX3, KDM6A, CDH4, CDKN2C, DAXX, ERBB3, GNAS, IL7R, PDGFRB, PMS2, PTEN, SMARCA4, and YY1AP1.

The present invention is directed to compositions including the cytokines IL-18 and IL-22 or biologically active fragments or variants thereof. In some embodiments, the compositions further include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compositions can farther include other interleukins such as IL-1β, and IL-1β can be used as a combination therapy with either IL-18 or IL-22 or biologically active fragments or variants thereof.

The present invention relates to hemagglutinin-specific antibodies, fragments thereof, and uses thereof. More specifically, these antibodies and fragments thereof are able to recognize antigen from multiple influenza strains.

Multimodal cancer immunotherapy is a combination of cancer immunotherapies used to treat cancer in patients. T cell receptor diversity is used as a component of a method to treat cancer involving cancer therapy, including multimodal cancer immunotherapy.

This disclosure provides compositions and methods for albumin nanoformulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL inhibitor APG-1252 to suppress and/or inhibit growth of cancer cells (e.g., tumor cells). In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions comprising nanoparticles associated with (e.g., complexed, conjugated, encapsulated, absorbed, adsorbed, admixed) APG-1252, methods for synthesizing such nanoparticles, as well as systems and methods utilizing such nanoparticles (e.g., in diagnostic and/or therapeutic settings). Such nanoparticle formulations of APG-1252 are capable of increasing solubility, protecting against its degradation, reducing platelet toxicity, and expanding (improving) different indications to improve anticancer efficacy in various cancers and cancer metastasis in lymph nodes.
