Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating a complement mediated disorder caused by a virus, e.g., corona virus; Dengue virus (DENY); Ross River vims (RRV) and/or influenza virus (flu) by administering an effective amount of a complement modulator, such as, e.g., C5 inhibitor, such as eculizumab or an eculizumab variant or a C5a inhibitor such as olendalizumab (ALXN1007) or a variant thereof, to the subject. In addition, the present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a method of treating human patients inflicted with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (severe COVID-19) who is undergoing treatment with eculizumab. The method includes measuring a level of circulating component C5b-9 (membrane attack complex), in the patient's blood sample to titrate an effective eculizumab dose for the treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating cancer in a patient who has been determined to have positive expression of CD200 receptor (CD200R1) and one or more biomarkers (i.e., ICOS, TIGIT, TNFRSF9, HAVCR2, PDCD1, FCGR2A, FCGR1A, CD163, and/or CD14) by administering to the patient a CD200 inhibitor. Also provided are methods for monitoring responsiveness of a patient having cancer to treatment with a CD200 inhibitor, the method comprising: determining expression levels of CD200R1 and one or more biomarkers (i.e., ICOS, TIGIT, TNFRSF9, HAVCR2, PDCD1, FCGR2A, FCGR1A, CD163, and/or CD14) in a biological sample from the patient, wherein increased expression levels of CD200R1 and the one or more biomarkers, as compared to expression levels in a biological sample of the same type obtained from the subject prior to treatment with the CD200 inhibitor, indicates that the subject is responsive to treatment with the CD200 inhibitor.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating cancer comprising administering to a patient inhibitors of mT0RC1/C2, IGF-1 R, and IR. In some aspects, a combination of an mT0RC1/C2 inhibitor and an IGF-1 R/IR inhibitor is employed. Other aspects are described herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating NSCL, pancreatic, colon or breast cancer tumors or tumor metastases in a patient, comprising administering to the patient simultaneously or sequentially a therapeutically effective amount of a combination of an EGFR kinase inhibitor and an agent that sensitizes tumor cells to the effects of EGFR kinase inhibitors, wherein the agent is an mTOR inhibitor, with or without additional agents or treatments, such as other anti-cancer drugs or radiation therapy. The present invention also provides a method for treating tumors or tumor metastases in a patient, comprising administering to said patient simultaneously or sequentially a therapeutically effective amount of a combination of an EGFR kinase inhibitor and an agent that sensitizes tumor cells to the effects of EGFR kinase inhibitors, wherein said agent is an mTOR inhibitor that binds to and directly inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating tumors or tumor metastases in a patient, comprising administering to said patient simultaneously or sequentially a therapeutically effective amount of a combination of an anti-cancer agent or treatment that elevates pAkt levels in tumor cells and an mTOR inhibitor that binds to and directly inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases. Examples of such anti-cancer agents or treatments include doxorubicin, cisplatin, or ionizing radiation. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-cancer agent or treatment that elevates pAkt levels in tumor cells and an mTOR inhibitor that binds to and directly inhibits both mTORC1 and mTORC2 kinases, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
