Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating a tumor, including a metastatic tumor, with TLR9 agonist in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for treating cancer in patients having low expression of MHC Class I genes, and in patients having increased serum levels of PD-L2 by administration of a TLR9 agonist.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to use of tilsotolimod in the treatment of coronavirus infection, for example, SARS-CoV2, and COVID-19.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating a tumor, including a metastatic tumor, with TLR9 agonist in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating a tumor, including a metastatic tumor, with TLR9 agonist in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of inducing an immune response to cancer comprising co-administering to a cancer patient one or more TLR9 agonists and one or more checkpoint inhibitors. Preferably, the one or more TLR9 agonists are administered to the patient via intratumoral (i.t.) administration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating a tumor, including a metastatic tumor, with TLR9 agonist in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Abstract: The invention provides immune regulatory oligonucleotides (IRO) as antagonist of TLRs and methods of use thereof. These IROs have unique sequences that inhibit TLR-mediated signaling in response to a TLR ligand or TLR agonist. The methods may have use in the prevention and treatment of cancer, an autoimmune disorder, airway inflammation, inflammatory disorders, infectious disease, skin disorders, allergy, asthma or a disease caused by a pathogen.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating PD1, PDL1, IDO1, LAG3, TIM3, CTLA4, IDO2, CEACAM1, OX40, and/or OX40L mRNA or protein expression using gene silencing compounds comprising two or more single stranded antisense oligonucleotides that are linked through their 5?-ends to allow the presence of two or more accessible 3?-ends.

Abstract: The invention provides antagonist of TLR9 and methods of use thereof. These compounds inhibit or suppress TLR9-mediated signaling. The methods may have use in the prevention and treatment of diseases or disorders mediated by TLR9.

Abstract: The invention provides novel immune regulatory oligonucleotides (IRO) as antagonist of TLRs and methods of use thereof. These IROs have unique sequences that inhibit or suppress TLR-mediated signaling in response to a TLR ligand or TLR agonist. The methods may have use in the prevention and treatment of cancer, an autoimmune disorder, airway inflammation, inflammatory disorders, infectious disease, skin disorders, allergy, asthma or a disease caused by a pathogen.

Abstract: The invention provides the use of immune regulatory oligonucleotides (IRO) as antagonist of TLRs and potentiators of anti-inflammatory agents that inhibit TNF for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: The invention provides immunostimulatory oligonucleotides having at least one CpG dinucleotide and a secondary structure at the 5?- or 3?-end. These oligonucleotides have either reduced or improved immunostimulatory properties. The invention establishes that 5?-terminal secondary structures affect immunostimulatory activity significantly more than those at the 3?-end. The invention also provides methods for increasing or decreasing the immunostimulatory activity of a CpG-containing nucleic acid.

Abstract: The inventors have examined the means for providing more efficacious miRNA blocking compounds. The inventors have discovered new structural features that surprisingly improve the efficacy of miRNA blocking molecules. These features include the presence of multiple 3? ends and a linker at the 5? ends. Surprisingly, these features improve the efficacy of the gene expression blocking compounds in a manner that decreases the compound's biologic instability. Even more surprisingly, this effect has been found to be applicable to both DNA and RNA oligonucleotide-based compounds and to have application in traditional antisense and RNAi technology.

Abstract: The invention provides the use of TLR inhibitors or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, optionally in combination with one or more lipid lowering composition, cholesterol lowering composition, diuretics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds (NSAIDs), antibodies, antisense oligonucleotides, TLR agonists, TLR antagonists, peptides, proteins or gene therapy vectors or combinations thereof for the prevention or treatment of hypercholesterolemia and/or hyperlipidemia and/or diseases associated therewith.
