Abstract: Provided herein is a composition comprising a fusion protein or a fragment or a variant thereof comprising an anti-PD1 antibody or a fragment/variant thereof and a TGF-? trap. Provided herein is a composition comprising a fusion protein or a fragment thereof or a variant thereof comprising an anti-PD1 antibody or a fragment/variant thereof and a ADA2 polypeptide. Also provided herein are methods of using the composition in treating cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in general, human antibodies against human parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTH1R) and methods of use of such antibodies in the treatment of cancer, Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy (HHM), or Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and cachexia.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to complexes and other aspects relate to formulations (e.g., aqueous, lyophilized forms) comprising such complexes comprising an oligonucleotide (e.g., useful for targeting DMPK) covalently linked to an antibody (e.g., anti-TfR1 antibody).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are porcine interferon alpha variants (pINF-?) comprising a synthetic amino acid at select locations in pINF-? and a one or two amino acid insertion in the N-terminus after removal of the signal peptide. The pINF-? variants can further be pegylated. Methods of making and administering these compounds to treat virus infections in pigs and formulations comprising the variants are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are ionic self-assembling peptides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the peptides, and methods of using and making the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of using IL-2 fusion proteins, comprising an IL-2 variant and an Pc region, to treat and/or prevent heart transplant rejections. Methods of treating heart disease or a symptom thereof, conditioning a subject for heart transplant, modulating immunosuppression, and selectively increasing regulatory T cells are also disclosed.

Abstract: Alpha(v) beta (6) integrin (avb6) binding polypeptides are disclosed herein, and their use in treating and detecting tumors, and their use in treating pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract: The disclosure features fusion proteins that are conditionally active variants of a cytokine of interest. In one aspect, the full-length polypeptides of the invention have reduced or minimal cytokine-receptor activating activity even though they contain a functional cytokine polypeptide. Upon activation, e.g., by cleavage of a linker that joins a blocking moiety, e.g. a steric blocking polypeptide, in sequence to the active cytokine, the cytokine can bind its receptor and effect signaling. Typically, the fusion proteins further comprise an in vivo half-life extension element, which may be cleaved from the cytokine in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising a human antibody that specifically binds to human proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). The formulations may contain, in addition to an anti-PCSK9 antibody, at least one amino acid, at least one sugar, or at least one non-ionic surfactant. The pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention exhibit a substantial degree of antibody stability after storage for several months.

Abstract: Provided herein are ionic self-assembling peptides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the peptides, and methods of using and making the same.

Abstract: This invention is related to the field of the prevention and treatment of kidney disease. The treatment of kidney disease may be tailored depending upon the need for, or expectation of, long-term dialysis. For example, prediction of long-term dialysis treatment can be determined by monitoring urine biomarkers related to the development of chronic kidney disease. For example, a normalized time course of approximately fourteen Days measuring hyaluronic acid, death receptor 5, and/or transforming growth factor ?1 can be used to establish the risk of recovery versus non-recovery in patient's having suffered an acute kidney injury.

Abstract: A method of treating patients suffering from cancers driven by deregulated Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER1/Human EGFR) comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a flexible and active regimen for combining a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and anti-EGF antibodies for inhibition of the pathway activated by EGF-EGFR binding (mAb). The anti-EGF antibodies can be produced by active immunization or provided passively by the administration of antibodies that are anti-EGF. The method comprises TKI administered according to a continuous regimen based on an average daily dose in the range of 10 to 150 mg and the mAb is co-administered either actively or passively according to a dosing regimen achieving a therapeutic effective amount repeated thrice, twice or once a week, once in two weeks, once in three weeks or at least once monthly.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of viral infections include conjugates containing inhibitors of viral neuraminidase (e.g., zanamivir, peramivir, or analogs thereof) linked to an Fc monomer, an Fc domain, and Fc-binding peptide, an albumin protein, or albumin-binding peptide. In particular, conjugates can be used in the treatment of viral infections (e.g., influenza viral infections).
