Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, particularly a pharmaceutical composition comprising an IgG:TGF?RII (such as an anti-PD-L1:TGF?-inhibiting) fusion protein. The present invention also relates inter alia to a method of manufacturing the composition, to a kit including the composition, to a package including the composition, to a method of manufacturing the package, and to methods of treatment using the composition and/or package, especially cancer treatments.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulations. More particularly, it is directed to homogeneous hydrogels comprising Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (FGF-18) compound and to methods of producing such hydrogels. The hydrogels of the invention can be used, once formed in situ, for the treatment of cartilage disorders such as osteoarthritis or cartilage injury.

Abstract: Polyglutamates are well known to be highly biocompatible, biodegradable and multifunctional polymers, which have been already used as building blocks in polymer drug conjugates and polymeric micelles. Those systems have been applied to various medical applications ranging from therapy to molecular imaging. Furthermore a polyglutamic acid (PGA) paclitaxel conjugate has already entered clinical studies (Opaxio™ PGA-PTX conjugate currently in phase III of Clinical trials). In this context, a synthetic pathway to a plethora functional polyglutamates (homopolymers, block-co-polymers, tribocks) with well-defined structure, adjustable molecular weight (Mw) and low dispersity (D=Mw/Mn<1.2) applying the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA) has been developed.
