FGFR2 INHIBITORS ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH IMMUNE STIMULATING AGENTS IN CANCER TREATMENT

Provided herein are uses of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) inhibitors in cancer treatment, in some cases in combination with immune stimulating agents, such as inhibitors of PD-1 or PD-L1. In some embodiments, FGFR2 inhibitors may comprise FGFR2 antibodies or FGFR2 extracellular domain (ECD) polypeptides, or FGFR2 ECD fusion molecules comprising an FGFR2 ECD and a fusion partner. In some embodiments, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may comprise anti-PD-1 antibodies such as antibodies that bind to PD-1 or to PD-L1 and inhibit interactions between these proteins, as well as PD-1 fusion proteins or polypeptides.

ANTI-C-C MOTIF CHEMOKINE RECEPTOR 8 (CCR8) ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE

The present disclosure provides anti-CCR8 antibodies, and compositions and methods of their preparation and use.

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.

ANTI-PD-L1 ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME FOR DETECTION OF PD-L1

The present application relates to anti-PD-L1 antibodies and their use to detect PD-L1 in a sample from a subject. In some embodiments, the subject has been treated with a therapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibody and an anti-PD-L1 described herein does not compete for binding to PD-L1 with the therapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibody. In some embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is linked to a detectable moiety, such as a fluorophore and the anti-PD-L1 antibody is used to detect PD-L1 in a subject using flow cytometry.

CONSTRUCTS SPECIFICALLY RECOGNIZING GLYPICAN 3 AND USES THEREOF

The present application provides constructs comprising an antibody moiety specifically recognizing Glypican 3 (GPC3), such as a cell surface-bound GPC3. Also provided are methods of making and using these constructs.

Anti-TIGIT Antibodies

Isolated antibodies that bind to human TIGIT (T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody has a binding affinity (K.sub.D) for human TIGIT of less than 5 nM. In some embodiments, the anti-TIGIT antibody blocks binding of CD155 and/or CD112 to TIGIT. In some embodiments, the antibodies are afucosylated.
