Abstract: The present invention provides methods for preventing, treating, or reducing the severity of sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, and including infections of more complex etiology. The invention involves the administration of an alpha thymosin peptide regimen. In certain embodiments, the alpha thymosin peptide regimen is scheduled or timed with respect to potential, expected and/or diagnosed sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock. In certain embodiments, the patient is immunodeficient or immunocompromised, and/or the patient is hospitalized or scheduled for hospitalization, such that the regimen of alpha thymosin peptide peptide helps to protect the patient from, or reduce the severity of, sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer or a metastasis thereof in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods involve administering a composition comprising therapeutically effective amount of at least one immune stimulator to the subject. In some embodiments, a combination of at least two immune stimulators is used for the treatment. In some embodiments, the combination includes an alpha thymosin peptide and an additional immune stimulator, and/or optionally one or more additional anti-cancer agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for preventing, treating, or reducing the severity of infection, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, and including infections of more complex etiology. The invention involves the administration of an alpha thymosin peptide regimen, so as to prime or enhance a patient's immune response for pathogen exposure. In certain embodiments, the alpha thymosin regimen is scheduled or timed with respect to potential or expected pathogen exposures. The regimen of alpha thymosin peptide as described herein provides the patient with a more robust immune response to pathogen exposure, including higher antibody titers and/or a more rapid antibody response. In certain embodiments, the patient is immunodeficient or immunecompromised, and/or the patient is hospitalized or scheduled for hospitalization, such that the regimen of alpha thymosin peptide helps to protect the patient from, or reduce the severity of nosocomial infection or illness.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of vaccination as well as pharmaceutical combinations and kits for enhancing vaccine effectiveness, including for immunodeficient or immunecompromised patients, including non-responders and low-responders to vaccination. As disclosed herein, the invention relates to administering a vaccine and a regimen of thymosin alpha peptide so as to provide higher antibody titers, speed the development of such antibody titers, and/or to provide for a longer duration of such antibody titers, thereby providing a greater protective effect. In another aspect, the invention allows for reducing a vaccine dose, such as an influenza vaccine dose, by administration of a thymosin peptide regimen.
