Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, a method of treating a subject with infection-induced hyperinflammation comprising administering to the subject a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antagonist at a therapeutically effective dose and an administration interval for a treatment period sufficient to improve, stabilize or reduce one or more symptoms of hyperinflammation. The present invention also provides, among other things, a method of inhibiting or reducing cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a subject comprising administering to the subject a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antagonist at a therapeutically effective dose and an administration interval for a treatment period sufficient to improve, stabilize or reduce one or more symptoms of CRS or ARDS.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods of treating post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) or pericarditis, comprising a step of administering to a subject in need of treatment an interleukin-1 receptor-Fc fusion protein at a therapeutically effective dose and an administration interval for a treatment period sufficient to improve, stabilize or reduce one or more signs and symptoms of pericarditis relative to a control.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, a method of treating cancer comprising administering a GM-CSF antagonist to the patient in need of treatment, wherein the administration of the GM-CSF antagonist results in inhibition of an immunosuppressive activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). The present invention also provides, among other things, a method of inhibiting immunosuppressive activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in a patient suffering from cancer comprising administering a GM-CSF antagonist to the patient.
