Abstract: The present invention provides methods for increasing expression of ICOS on an effector T cell comprising contacting said effector T cell with an anti-PD-1 antibody. The present invention also provides methods for decreasing expression of ICOS on a regulatory T cell comprising contacting said regulatory T cell with an anti-PD-1 antibody. The present invention provides methods for increasing sensitivity to an agent directed to ICOS in a human comprising administering to the human an anti-PD1 antibody. The present invention also provides methods of treating cancer in a human in need thereof comprising administering an anti-PD-1 antibody and an anti-ICOS antibody to said human, wherein the anti-PD-1 antibody increases T cell sensitivity to the ICOS antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to indane compounds, methods of making them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as NRF2 activators.

Abstract: The invention relates to substituted pyridine derivatives that are inhibitors of the activity of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using such compounds in the treatment of cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes, beta haemoglobinopathy disorders, and other diseases associated with inappropriate DNMT1 activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising bacteria of the Delftia genus, specifically a composition comprising Delftia tsuruhatensis as well as the bacteria itself for use in the prevention of malaria transmission and methods of using the compositions for reducing malaria and/or malaria parasite transmission.
