Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining whether a subject suffers from malignant lymphoma or leukemia and an agent for treating and/or preventing the disease. The present invention relates to a method for assisting in determining whether a subject suffers from, or is likely to suffer from malignant lymphoma or leukemia, comprising: a detection step of detecting at least one of a fusion mutation of a DUX4 gene, an overexpression of a DUX4 gene, and a fusion mutation of an MEF2D gene; and a determination step of determining that the subject suffers from or is likely to suffer from the disease when at least one of the fusion mutations or the overexpression is detected. Moreover, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a DUX4 inhibitor as an active ingredient, for treating and/or preventing malignant lymphoma or leukemia in a subject having a fusion mutation of a DUX4 gene and an IGH or IGL gene and/or overexpression of a DUX4 gene.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for evaluating the efficacy of an EGFR-TKI treatment to a subject, comprising identifying the V384D mutation in said subject. By identifying said mutation, the efficacy of the EGFR-TKI treatment and the progression-free survival of said subject after treatment can be estimated.

Abstract: The present application provides antibody-TCR chimeric constructs comprising an antibody moiety that specifically binds to a target antigen fused to a TCRM capable of recruiting at least one TCR-associated signaling module. Also provided are methods of making and using these constructs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-FSTL1 antibody or a fragment or functional equivalent thereof, wherein the antibody recognizes an epitope in a region selected from the group consisting of amino acid positions 48 to 100, 148 to 162, 193 to 216, 205 to 228, and 272 to 289 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (amino acid sequence of human FSTL1). The present invention also provides a combination product of a FSTL1 suppressor and additional cancer treatment. It is understood that immune defect such as immunosuppression or immunodeficiency is effectively mitigated by the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides a specific combination of colon cancer markers based on statistical knowledge, which is capable of detecting a larger number of colon cancer patients in an earlier stage while maintaining high specificity. A multiplex colon cancer marker panel comprising a combination of five colon cancer markers of Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5, Carbohydrate antigen 19-9, Galectin-4, APEX nuclease and Actin-related protein 2. A method for analyzing colon cancer markers using multiplex colon cancer marker panel.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer using expression analysis of one or more groups of genes, and a combination of expression analysis with bronchoscopy. The methods of the invention provide far superior detection accuracy for lung cancer when compared to any other currently available method for lung cancer diagnostic or prognosis. The invention also provides methods of diagnosis and prognosis of other lung diseases, particularly in individuals who are exposed to air pollutants, such as cigarette or cigar smoke, smog, asbestos and the like air contaminants or pollutants.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to binding members, especially antibody molecules, which bind to human Maf. The binding members are useful for the determination of the expression level of Maf.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides diagnostic methods that are relevant to various cancers and which comprise improvements on a BH3 profiling diagnostic method.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostics for identifying and distinguishing various types of lung cancers using serum and/or bronchioalveolar lavage fluid. Signatures of secretory proteins are used to identify and distinguish lung cancers. The biomarker signatures may also be used to separate lung cancers from other inflammatory diseases, monitor progression, or assess treatment efficacy.

Abstract: Cancer biomarkers and methods of using them are disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for predicting responsiveness of a subject having cancer to an OX40 agonist treatment by measuring the expression level of one or more biomarkers. Also provided are methods for monitoring pharmacodynamic activity of or responsiveness to an OX40 agonist treatment by measuring the expression level of one or more biomarkers. Further provided are methods related thereto for treating or delaying progression of cancer in a subject by administering an effective amount of an OX40 agonist to a subject. Specific biomarkers for all such methods are described herein.

Abstract: It has been found that CBP and p300 are in the relationship of synthetic lethality, and treatment inhibiting p300 is a promising approach for the treatment of CBP-mutated cancer. It has also been revealed that this therapeutic strategy achieves efficient treatment based on companion diagnostics because a p300 inhibitor can be administered to a cancer patient selected with functional suppression of CBP as an index.

Abstract: The present invention relates provides methods of predicting cell sensitivity to a test agent. In some embodiments, the cells are cultured in a culture medium having serum.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antibodies specific tumor associated complex N-glycans with terminal GlcNAc? residues and methods for detecting a tumor in a subject. The present disclosure also relates to therapeutic antibodies specific for tumor associated complex N-glycans with terminal GlcNAc? residues.

Abstract: Compositions and methods useful for the treatment of cancer, particularly lymphoma, are disclosed.

Abstract: Antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) that bind to FLT3 protein and variants thereof are described herein. FLT3 exhibits a distinct and limited expression pattern in normal adult tissue(s), and is aberrantly expressed in the cancers listed in Table I. Consequently, the ADC's of the invention provide a therapeutic composition for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes combination therapies comprising an antagonist of Programmed Death 1 receptor (PD-1) and a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist that is a CpG-C type oligonucleotide, and the use of the combination therapies for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The invention provides novel heterodimeric proteins including heterodimeric antibodies.
