Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for treating cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract: Disclosed are antibodies, including antibody drug conjugates, that specifically bind to NTB-A. Also disclosed are methods for using the anti-NTB-A antibodies to detect or modulate activity of (e.g., inhibit proliferation of) an NTB-A-expressing cell, as well as for diagnoses or treatment of diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer) associated with NTB-A-expressing cells, such as multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia.

Abstract: This invention relates to treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Abstract: This invention relates methods of using a non-fucosylated anti-CD40 antibody for treatment of cancer and chronic infectious diseases.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for an RF guidewire for applying RF energy to create a channel through a region of tissue within a patient's body. The RF guidewire is configured to have a hydrophilic coating disposed thereon to reduce friction to facilitate traversal through vasculature while maintaining its mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.

Abstract: An imaging marker for use with a catheter, the imaging marker comprising a plurality of segments including at least two stiff segments and at least one flexible segment, wherein for each pair of stiff segments, one of the flexible segments is located therebetween such that the flexible segment is operable to function as a hinge when the imaging marker is bent. In typical embodiments, the stiff segments are visible under a medical imaging system. In some embodiments, the stiff segments are comprised of a radiopaque material which is visible under an X-ray (fluoroscopy) imaging system.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for treating cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an auristatin-based antibody drug conjugate and an inhibitor of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.
