  • Patent number: 12144868
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to complexes comprising a muscle-targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload. In some embodiments, the muscle-targeting agent specifically binds to an internalizing cell surface receptor on muscle cells. In some embodiments, the molecular payload promotes the expression or activity of a functional dystrophin protein. In some embodiments, the molecular payload is an oligonucleotide, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, e.g., an oligonucleotide that causes exon skipping in a mRNA expressed from a mutant DMD allele.

  • Patent number: 12144852
    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.

  • Patent number: 12128099
    Abstract: Mutant Myxoma viruses are provided herein and methods of using these viruses to treat cancer or elicit an interferon response in a subject are also provided. The mutant Myxoma virus is modified to reduce or eliminate the activity or expression of Myxoma virus protein M62 as compared to a control virus. The mutant virus is capable of stimulating an interferon response in subjects after administration and can also lead to inhibition, reduction or elimination of the CD14+ tumor associated macrophage inhibition of CD4+ T cells in a subject having cancer and lead to a change in the tumor microenvironment to treat the cancer or work in combination with other cancer therapeutics to treat the cancer as described herein.

  • Patent number: 12042530
    Abstract: A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.
