Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating cancer in a human subject, comprising administering to the subject: i) an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising an antibody, a cleavable linker and a cytotoxic agent, and ii) a bispecific checkpoint inhibitor. Further provided herein are kits comprising i) an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising an antibody, a cleavable linker and a cytotoxic agent, and ii) a bispecific checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of administering bispecific antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to human Programmed cell-death-1 (PD-1) and Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) to a subject in need thereof, for example, a subject with cancer.

Abstract: Functionally altered biological mechanisms arising from disease-associated polymorphisms remain difficult to characterize when those variants are intergenic, or, fall between genes. The present invention uses computational modelling of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) drawn from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or other databases to identify SNP pairs, including SNP pairs where at least one SNP is outside a protein-coding region of a gene, having convergent biological mechanisms. Additional databases, including genomic databases, biological regulatory databases, and databases related to molecular function, are used to further identify and validate the similarity of the biological mechanisms of the SNP pairs. Prioritized SNP pairs having increased similarity of biological mechanisms are then used to identify disease mechanisms, candidate therapeutic drugs, and candidate therapeutic targets among downstream effectors of intergenic SNPs.

Abstract: Disclosed is an immune library obtained from a Camelid species containing at antibody chains belonging to at least 7 human germline antibody chains. The presence of a large number of human germline antibody chain families in the library contributes to the usefulness of the library in producing antibodies to human target antigens. The antibodies produced from the library have low inherent immunogenicity.

Abstract: A system and method of predicting the course of progression of a disease and determining a personalized therapeutic regime for treating the disease in a subject includes obtaining the subject's normal-tissue transcriptome. The normal-tissue transcriptome is statistically correlated with the subject's perturbed transcriptome to identify one or more deregulated mechanisms; and statistics derived from the identified deregulated mechanism are used to predict the course of progression of the disease and to a recommend a personalized therapeutic regime for treating the disease. The perturbed transcriptome may in some cases be determined from a cancer of the subject, and in other cases from viral infected tissue cultured from the subject.
