PEPTIDES AND COMBINATION OF PEPTIDES FOR USE IN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGAINST VARIOUS TUMORS
A method of treating a patient who has hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), colorectal carcinoma (CRC), glioblastoma (GB), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal cancer, NSCLC, pancreatic cancer (PC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer (PCA), ovarian cancer (OC), melanoma, breast cancer (BRCA), CLL, Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), SCLC, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), AML, gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (GBC, CCC), urinary bladder cancer (UBC), and uterine cancer (UEC) includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has HCC, CRC, GB, GC, esophageal cancer, NSCLC, PC, RCC, BPH, PCA, OC, melanoma, BRCA, CLL, MCC, SCLC, NHL, AML, GBC, CCC, UBC, and/or UEC. A method of treating a patient who has HCC, CRC, GB, GC, esophageal cancer, NSCLC, PC, RCC, BPH, PCA, OC, melanoma, BRCA, CLL, MCC, SCLC, NHL, AML, GBC, CCC, UBC, and/or UEC includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the HCC, CRC, GB, GC, esophageal cancer, NSCLC, PC, RCC, BPH, PCA, OC, melanoma, BRCA, CLL, MCC, SCLC, NHL, AML, GBC, CCC, UBC, and/or UEC.
IMMUNORESPONSIVE CELLS ARMOURED WITH SPATIOTEMPORALLY RESTRICTED ACTIVITY OF CYTOKINES OF THE IL-1 SUPERFAMILY
Provided herein are immunoresponsive cells having IL-1 superfamily activities with spatiotemporal restriction. The immunoresponsive cells can further express a protease for regulating the IL-1 superfamily activities, and a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a parallel CAR. Also provided herein are methods of preparing the immunoresponsive cells and methods of directing T cell mediated immune response using the immunoresponsive cells.
Peptides and combination of peptides for use in immunotherapy against various tumors
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.
CORD BLOOD PLASMA-DERIVED EXOSOME OR MIMETIC THEREOF AND PHARMACEUTICAL USE THEREOF
The present invention relates to a cord blood plasma-derived exosome or a mimetic thereof and a pharmaceutical use thereof. More particularly, the present invention provides the use of a human cord blood plasma-derived exosome or an exosome mimetic that mimics the proteomic profile of the cord blood plasma-derived exosome for the improvement, prevention or treatment of various autoimmune diseases or wound healing.
Method for quantifying therapeutic antibodies
The present invention relates to a method for quantifying a therapeutic antibody in a sample of a human individual comprising a step of adding to a test sample which may contain therapeutic antibodies to be quantified a known amount of two or more labeled forms of said therapeutic antibodies.
RNAs for wound healing
The present invention relates to an RNA encoding a therapeutic protein, in particular a collagenase, growth factor, cytokine, receptor, chaperone or signal transduction inhibitor. In particular, the present invention relates to RNA suitable for treatment of wounds, specifically for promoting wound healing. The present invention concerns such RNA as well as pharmaceutical compositions and kits and combinations comprising the RNA. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the RNA, pharmaceutical compositions, kits as disclosed herein for use in the treatment of wounds, specifically for promoting wound healing.
Methods to spatially profile protease activity in tissue and sections
Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and compositions useful for in vivo and/or in vitro enzyme profiling. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of in vivo enzymatic processing of exogenous molecules followed by detection of signature molecules as representative of the presence of active enzymes associated with diseases or conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides compositions and in vitro methods for localization of enzymatic activity in a tissue sample.
BICYCLIC PEPTIDE LIGANDS SPECIFIC FOR MT1-MMP
The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to non-aromatic molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of membrane type 1 metalloprotease (MT1-MMP), such as the collagen binding site of MT1-MMP. The invention also describes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups which have utility in imaging and targeted cancer therapy.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR OCULAR THERAPY
Provided is a unit dose of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles for expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3). Further provided is a unit dose of recombinant MMP-3. Also provided are methods of use thereof, e.g., in transducing the corneal endothelium of a subject; reducing intraocular pressure in an eye of a subject; treating and/or preventing elevated intraocular pressure in a subject; and treating and/or preventing glaucoma in a subject. Subjects include primates.
BLENDS CONTAINING PROTEASES
Described are compositions, in particular lyophilizates, containing proteolytic enzymes, and methods for producing the compositions. Typically these compositions contain one or more proteases with collagenase activity and a neutral protease, for example, thermolysin. The compositions are free of acetate salts. Surprisingly, such compositions can be dissolved in water more rapidly than lyophilized protease mixtures of the state of the art.
