Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating treating epidermal growth factor deletion mutant vIII (EGFRvIII) related disorders, such as glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocyte tumors, using antigen binding proteins, including antibodies against EGFRvIII conjugated to a drug. Diagnostic and therapeutic formulations of such antibodies and drug conjugates thereof are also provided.
Abstract: A pharmaceutical product includes a container having an exterior surface and an interior chamber, an active ingredient disposed in the interior chamber, the active ingredient having a photosensitive property that changes based on at least cumulative exposure to light having a wavelength within the range between X and Y, and a layer of photosensitive material disposed on or in the container and exposed to environmental conditions contemporaneous with the active ingredient being disposed in the interior chamber. The photosensitive material is reactive to light having a wavelength within the range between X and Y to experience a property change at a threshold of cumulative exposure to light received within the range between X and Y related to the change in the photosensitive property of the active ingredient. A photosensitive device can also be disposed along a path followed by the pharmaceutical product within a facility.
