Abstract: Rotating dental systems and related guards and methods are disclosed. In some instances a guard may be configured to prevent material from building up on at least a portion of the dental system. The guard may be configured to prevent materials from being discharged from the dental system. In some embodiments, the guard may also be configured to direct the flow of material along a portion of the dental system. Some guards within the scope of this disclosure comprise bristles.

Abstract: The present application relates to methods using Transforming Growth Factor-? (TGF-?) ligand traps. The TGF-? ligand traps described herein may be suitable for combination therapy with an immunotherapy, for treating a disease or disorder such as a cancer. The TGF-? ligand traps described herein may also be suitable for monotherapy for treating a disease or disorder such as a cancer. In particular, provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a disease or disorder such as a cancer by administering a TGF-? ligand trap in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising bisfluoroalkyl-1,4-benzodiazepinone compounds, including compounds of Formula (I) or prodrugs thereof; optionally in combination with an additional cancer therapeutic agent, and methods of use thereof for treating proliferative diseases and disorders such as Desmoid tumors.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a cancer comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antagonist, e.g., an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody, in combination with an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor, wherein the subject is identified as exhibiting a combined biomarker comprising (a) a high IFN? inflammatory signature score and (b) a low tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (TDO2) gene expression score. The high IFN? inflammatory signature score is determined by measuring the expression of a panel of IFN? related inflammatory genes in a cancer sample obtained from the subject, wherein the gene panel comprises, e.g., IFN?, CXCL10, CXCL9, HLA-DRA, IDO1, and STAT1. In some aspects, the gene panel further comprises CCR5, CXCL11, GZMA, and PRF1. In some aspects, the gene panel comprises CXCR6, TIGIT, PD-L1, PD-L2, LAG3, NKG7, PSMB10, CMKLR1, CD8A, IDO1, CCL5, CXCL9, HLA.DQA1, CD276, HLA.DRB1, STAT1, HLA.E, and TDO2.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of use for compositions comprising bisfluoroalkyl-1,4-benzodiazepinone compounds, including compounds of Formula (I) or prodrugs thereof; for treating diseases and disorders such as cancer.
