  • Publication number: 20200330557
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods for treating cancer, e.g., by administering to a subject having cancer a primary cell-derived biologic with multiple cytokine components in combination with an antagonist of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and/or with an antagonist of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). Other aspects of the disclosure relate to methods of identifying a subject for treatment with an antagonist of PD-L1 or PD-1 and/or an antagonist of CTLA-4 or assessing the likelihood that a subject will be responsive to an antagonist of PD-L1 or PD-1 and/or an antagonist of CTLA-4.

  • Patent number: 9492519
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods of immunotherapy to treat cancer or other antigen-producing diseases or lesions. According to one embodiment of the invention, a composition is provided for eliciting an immune response to at (east one antigen in a patient having an antigen-producing disease or lesion, the composition comprising an effective amount of a cytokine mixture, preferably comprising IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IFN ? (gamma) and TNF-? (alpha). The cytokine mixture acts as an adjuvant with the antigen associated with the antigen-producing disease or lesion to enhance the immune response of the patient to the antigen. Methods are therefore also provided for eliciting an immune response to at least one antigen in a patient having an antigen-producing disease or lesion utilizing the cytokine mixture of the invention. The compositions and methods are useful in the treatment of antigen-producing diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases or persistent lesions.
