Abstract: Compositions and methods for enhancing an immune response and treating cancer are provided. Compositions comprise PD-1 axis antagonists and HPK1 antagonists. PD-1 axis antagonists include PD-1 antagonists, PD-L1 antagonists, and PD-L2 antagonists. PD-1 axis antagonists can inhibit the binding of PD-L1 and/or PD-L2 to PD-1. HPK1 antagonists include compounds that inhibit the serine/threonine kinase activity of HPK1. Methods for enhancing an immune response or treating cancer comprise administering a PD-1 axis antagonist and a HPK1 antagonist, sequentially or simultaneously, to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides a combination of a) a compound of Formula (Ia): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and b) abiraterone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a hyperproliferative disorder, such as cancer.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly concentrated, stable pharmaceutical formulation of a pharmaceutically active anti-HER2 antibody, such as e.g. Trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN™), Pertuzumab or T-DM1, or a mixture of such antibody molecules for subcutaneous injection. In particular, the present invention relates to formulations comprising, in addition to a suitable amount of the anti-HER2 antibody, an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme as a combined formulation or for use in form of a co-formulation. The formulations comprise additionally at least one buffering agent, such as e.g. a histidine buffer, a stabilizer or a mixture of two or more stabilizers (e.g. a saccharide, such as e.g. ?,?-trehalose dihydrate or sucrose, and optionally methionine as a second stabilizer), a nonionic surfactant and an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme. Methods for preparing such formulations and their uses thereof are also provided.
