Abstract: Provided herein are myeloid cell leukemia 1 protein (Mcl-1) inhibitors, methods of their preparation, related pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of using the same. For example, provided herein are compounds of Formula I, or a stereoisomer thereof; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds. The compounds and compositions provided herein may be used, for example, in the treatment of diseases or conditions, such as cancer.

Abstract: Provided herein are IL-2 muteins and IL-2 mutein Fc-fusion molecules that preferentially expand and activate T regulatory cells and are amenable to large scale production. Also provided herein are variant human IgG1 Fc molecules lacking or with highly reduced effector function and high stability despite lacking glycosylation at N297. Also, provided herein are linker peptides that are glycosylated when expressed in mammalian cells.

Abstract: A cassette for use with an injector has a housing, and a cassette identification arrangement (cassette ID) defining a code containing information about the cassette that is detectable and decipherable by an injector. The cassette may further have an integrated cassette syringe movably disposed within the housing, for holding a drug, and a locking arrangement for interlocking the integrated cassette syringe with the housing. The cassette may further have an aperture in the housing, and a cassette cap for removing a needle shield of the integrated cassette syringe. The cassette may have an anti-bending structure to prevent bending or flexing of the cassette cap. The injector may have a processor for controlling operational parameters of the injector and a detector communicatively coupled with the processor for detecting and communicating the cassette ID to the microprocessor to decipher the code defined therein.

Abstract: An autoinjector apparatus is disclosed which comprises a single-use cassette and an autoinjector. The cassette comprises a housing and a sleeve movably disposed in the housing. A syringe may be disposed in the sleeve and secured therein with a lock cap. The lock cap is affixed to a distal end of the sleeve and contacts the distal end of the syringe. A shield remover extends through an opening in a proximal end of the housing for removing a needle shield which covers a needle of the syringe. A cassette identification arrangement is provided on a surface of the housing to enable the autoinjector to identify the cassette. The autoinjector is provided with a detector for reading the cassette identification arrangement.

Abstract: A system is described to facilitate the characterization of particles within a fluid contained in a vessel using an illumination system that directs source light through each vessel. One or more optical elements may be implemented to refract the source light and to illuminate the entire volume of the vessel. As the refracted source light passes through the vessel and interacts with particles suspended in the fluid, scattered light is produced and directed to an imager, while the refracted source light is diverted away from the imager to prevent the source light from drowning out the scattered light. The system can therefore advantageously utilize an imager with a large depth of field to accurately image the entire volume of fluid at the same time, facilitating the determination of the number and size of particles suspended in the fluid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ?M-14 pharmaceutical formulations and therapeutic dosing regimens for the treatment of disease.

Abstract: This invention provides antibodies that interact with or bind to human B7 related protein-1 (B7RP1) and antibodies that bind to and neutralize the function of B7RP1 thereby. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions of said antibodies and methods for neutralizing B7RP1 function, and particularly for treating immune disorders (e.g., inappropriate immune response) by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of anti-B7RP1 antibodies. Methods of detecting the amount of B7RP1 in a sample using anti-B7RP1 antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: Discloses herein are high concentration antibody formulations comprising an anti-sclerostin immunoglobulin and an acetate salt and/or an acetate buffer and methods of use.

Abstract: The invention provides a bispecific antibody construct comprising a first human binding domain capable of binding to human CDH19 on the surface of a target cell and a second domain capable of binding to human CD3 on the surface of a T cell. Moreover, the invention provides a nucleic acid encoding the antibody construct, a vector comprising the nucleic acid and a host cell transformed or transfected with the vector. Furthermore, the invention provides a process for the production of the bispecific antibody construct, a medical use of the antibody construct and a kit comprising the antibody construct. The bispecific antibody construct may be useful in the treatment of melanoma.

Abstract: Methods of treating heart failure include administering to a subject having heart failure an effective amount of a triazole compound that is an agonist of the APJ receptor, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound, or a mixture thereof. Compounds particularly useful in such methods are provided herein.

Abstract: Provided herein are IL-2 muteins and IL-2 mutein Fc-fusion molecules that preferentially expand and activate T regulatory cells and are amenable to large scale production. Also provided herein are variant human IgG1 Fc molecules lacking or with highly reduced effector function and high stability despite lacking glycosylation at N297. Also, provided herein are linker peptides that are glycosylated when expressed in mammalian cells.

Abstract: Provided herein are formulations of PCSK9-binding polypeptides, such as those comprising evolocumab, that comprise N-acetyl arginine and have reduced viscosities when compared to formulations lacking N-acetyl arginine. Provided herein are also methods of formulating such compositions that are advantageous in that they conserve certain components. Such formulations comprising PCSK9-binding polypeptides can be administered to patients to treat and/or prevent PCSK9-related diseases, conditions, and disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tetravalent bispecific and tetraspecific antigen binding proteins that are capable of binding to multiple targets. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bispecific and tetraspecific antigen binding proteins as well as methods for producing them are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to crystalline forms and co-crystal forms of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound, N-(4-((3-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy)phenyl)-4-(4-methyl-2-thienyl)-1-phthalazinamine (AMG 900, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said crystalline and co-crystal forms thereof. The invention further provides uses of the crystalline forms and compositions, to treat cancer, including various types of solid tumors and hematologic cancer including myeloma and leukemia.
