  • Publication number: 20220088075
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for treating diseases, e.g., cancers, e.g., diseases associated with expression of an antigen, e.g., EGFRvIII, comprising administering a cell that expresses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to the antigen, e.g., EGFRvIII, in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor.

  • Publication number: 20210128617
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides modified immune cells or precursors thereof (e.g. T cells) comprising chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) capable of binding human IL13R?2. Also provided are bispecific CARs, parallel CARs, tandem CARs, BiTEs, BiTE/CARs, and BiTE/BiTEs. Compositions and methods of treatment are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190085407
    Abstract: An isoform-level gene panel is disclosed that can accurately classify a glioblastoma subtype from a tumor sample. Such an isoform level gene panel comprises the 121 to 214 target isoforms identified in Table 1. Also disclosed are reagents for quantitively detecting the expression or activity of the target isoforms of Table 1 in a patient sample. For example, such ligands can be PCR primer and probes sets. This isoform-level gene panel and reagents for detection of the isoforms are useful in an isoform-level assay for diagnosis of the molecular subtype of a glioblastoma in a patient. The assay employs algorithms and a novel computer program that performs the functions of FIG. 8. In one aspect, the assay is a high-throughput format.

  • Publication number: 20170355778
    Abstract: Methods of treating an individual who has an erbB protein mediated tumor is disclosed. Methods of preventing erbB protein mediated tumors in an individual are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the individual a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a protein that dimerizes with an erbB protein and that is deficient in tyrosine kinase activity. Composition that comprise such nucleic acid molecules including pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed.
