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.

The invention generally relates to antibodies that bind to human folate receptor 1 and diagnostic assays for folate receptor 1-based therapies. Methods of using the antibodies to monitor therapy are further provided.

The present invention provides an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof with binding specificity for human interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of inhibiting the binding of antibody ‘CAN04’ to human IL1RAP. The invention further provides the use of such antibodies or an antigen-binding fragments in the treatment and/or diagnosis of IL-1 associated diseases and conditions, including cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and melanoma.

Disclosed are methods for treating Set1/COMPASS-associated cancers characterized by expression of Set1B/COMPASS. The methods typically include administering a therapeutic amount of an inhibitor of the Set1B/COMPASS pathway and/or an agonist for a target that is negatively regulated by the Set1B/COMPASS pathway.

The invention provides methods of treating a subject having or at risk of cancer by administering a LIV-1 antibody drug conjugate and a chemotherapeutic.

Therapeutic polypeptides, compositions thereof and methods of use thereof for activating NK cells and treating tumors are provided. The therapeutic polypeptides can include a first domain for binding NKG2D and a second domain for binding a tumor target.

The present disclosure provides a site-specific protein conjugate and the method for preparation of the same. The protein conjugate comprising a protein and an oligosaccharide, wherein said oligosaccharide comprises

##STR00001##

wherein: said GlcNAc is directly or indirectly linked to an amino acid of said protein; said Gal is a galactose; said (Fuc) is a fucose, b is 0 or 1; said Fuc* comprises a fucose or a fucose derivative linked to a molecule of interest (MOI), said protein comprises an antigen binding fragment and/or a Fc fragment.

The present invention provides compositions for the production of an antibody or functional fragment thereof directed against Tn antigen or sTn antigen. The compositions disclosed herein include isolated antibody or functional fragments thereof that binds to Tn antigen or sTn antigen and polynucleotides encoding the heavy chain and/or a light chain variable domains of such antibody or functional fragment. The invention also provides methods of treating or preventing a disease, such as cancer or tumor formation, wherein the antibody or functional fragment includes a variable heavy chain domain and a variable light chain domain that has an amino acid sequence provided herein. The invention further provides a conjugate of an antibody or functional fragment thereof conjugated or recombinantly fused to a localizing agent, detectable agent or therapeutic agent, and methods of treating, preventing or diagnosing a disease in a subject in need thereof.

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.

Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to 191P4D12 protein and variants thereof are described herein. 191P4D12 exhibits tissue specific expression in normal adult tissue, and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.
