Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a urothelial carcinoma or cancer derived therefrom, which method comprises administering to the subject an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and inhibits PD-1 activity or the combination of (a) an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a PD-1 receptor and inhibits PD-1 activity; and (b) an antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to a Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and inhibits CTLA-4 activity.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and computer systems for classification of CD8 T-cell topology using a patient response-based linear cutoff model. A plurality of histology images of tissue samples in a plurality of patients are received by a computer system. An image analysis of the plurality of histology images is performed to obtain a CD8+ T-cell abundance in the tumor parenchyma and stroma in each of the plurality of histology images. Real inflammation scores and tumor infiltration scores are determined based on a polar coordinate transformation of the CD8+ T-cell abundance in the tumor parenchyma and stroma. Based on the real inflammation scores and tumor infiltration scores, a feature space is generated, and linear boundaries or linear cutoffs between a plurality of classifications in the feature space are identified based on the real inflammation scores, the tumor infiltration scores, and patient response data.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for antibodies that bind CD40, including a humanized antibody. The antibodies bind CD40 and do not exhibit CD40 agonist activity. The antibodies may comprise a modified IgG1 Fc domain, and exhibit minimal activation of immature dendritic cells. Compositions comprising antibodies, methods of use for treatment of diseases involving CD40 activity, and use in the preparation of a medicament for treatment of a disease involving CD40 activity are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to compounds useful as immunomodulators. Provided herein are compounds, compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of their use. The disclosure further pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound according to the disclosure that are useful for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating a subject afflicted with a cancer, comprising administering to the subject a TIM3 agonist (e.g., an anti-TIM3 antibody), alone or in conjunction with another immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., a PD-1 antagonist), wherein the subject is identified as having a high frequency of TIM3 positive cells (e.g., on the tumor infiltrating inflammatory cells) or soluble TIM3 in peripheral blood. Also provided are methods for assessing the efficacy of a treatment comprising a TIM3 antagonist in a subject afflicted with a cancer, comprising measuring the frequency of TIM3 (and optionally PD-1) positive cells in certain populations of cells and/or the soluble TIM3 in peripheral blood of the subject, wherein a high frequency of TIM3 (and optionally PD-1) positive cells and/or the subject's peripheral blood titer of soluble TIM3 is indicative of the response to the treatment.

Abstract: There are disclosed novel anti-ROR1 macrocyclic peptides and their conjugates with general structure of formula (I), which can be used as ROR1 inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies against ROR1 and CD3, their manufacture and use.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds which are immunomodulators and thus are useful for the amelioration of various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, that specifically bind and inhibit TREM-1 signaling, wherein the antibodies do not bind to one or more Fc?Rs and do not induce the myeloid cells to produce inflammatory cytokines. Also provided are uses of such antibodies, or antigen-binding portions thereof, in therapeutic applications, such as treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are agonistic antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that bind to human CD40 and comprise improved heavy and light chain variable regions that impart improved yield and reduced aggregation. The invention also provides methods of treatment of cancer or chronic infection by administering the antibodies of the invention to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds and compositions thereof for modulating IRAK4. In some embodiments, the compounds and compositions are provided for treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds of formula (I) and (II), wherein all substituents are defined herein, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising compounds of the invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders.

Abstract: In one aspect, the subject invention is directed to a method of preparing a combinatorial drug delivery device based on a predetermined selection of drug components. The method includes: preparing a plurality of containers, each accommodating one of the selected drug components; coupling the containers to a common outlet so that the drug components may be extracted from the containers and dispensed through the common outlet; and, applying negative pressure to extract the drug components from the containers and urge the drug components towards the common outlet.
