The present invention relates to a companion diagnosis biomarker composition and a companion diagnosis kit containing the same and, particularly, to a companion diagnosis biomarker composition for predicting a therapeutic response to at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor from among a PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor and a PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, and a companion diagnosis kit containing the same. According to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to predict a therapeutic response to at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor from among a PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor and a PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor not only through a companion diagnosis through cancer patient tissues, but also through proteomic analysis of cancer patient blood.

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.

The present invention relates to single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) directed against Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 (LILRB2), pharmaceutical compositions comprising

Provided are methods for detecting or isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a subject. The methods may include detecting the expression of at least one epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker. Further provided are kits for detecting or isolating CTCs. The kits may include antibodies to at least one EMT biomarker. Further provided are methods of predicting the responsiveness of a subject to a cancer drug, methods of targeting delivery of a cancer drug in a subject, methods of providing a cancer prognosis to a subject, and methods for following the progress of cancer in a subject.

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.

A TIGIT antibody, an antigen-binding fragment thereof, and a medical use thereof. The present invention relates to a murine antibody, a chimeric antibody, and a humanized antibody comprising a CDR region of the TIGIT antibody, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the TIGIT antibody and the antigen-binding fragment thereof, and a use thereof as a medicament. In particular, the present invention also relates to a use of a humanized TIGIT antibody for preparing a medicament for the treatment of TIGIT-associated diseases or conditions.

Provided herein are anti-TREM2 antibodies and related methods of making and using anti-TREM2 antibodies. Also provided are methods and compositions for enhancing an immune response and/or for the treatment of an immune-related condition in an individual, e.g., cancer, comprising killing, disabling, or depleting non-stimulatory myeloid cells using an anti-TREM2 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating disease or condition caused or exacerbated by S100A9 activity, such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) using a composition comprising an effective amount of a CD33/S100A9 inhibitor.

The present disclosure is directed to antibodies binding to LILRBs and methods of detecting and treating cancer therewith.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and compositions for cancer immunotherapy, and more specifically, liquid markers for predicting effectiveness of cancer therapies. The disclosure features compositions and methods that are useful for predicting the efficacy of cancer treatment (e.g., a checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy) and, in some embodiments, administering the cancer treatment such as immunotherapy.
