Abstract: The present application relates generally to cancer treatment strategies using arenavirus particles. The treatment strategies described herein are for treating cancer, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, using tri-segmented arenavirus particles encoding a human papillomavirus (HPV) antigen. The treatment strategies described herein can include administration of an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract: Provided herein are genetically modified arenaviruses suitable as vaccines against neoplastic diseases or cancer. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the prevention or treatment of certain infections causing neoplastic diseases or cancer, such as infections with oncogenic viruses. Specifically, provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions, vaccines, and methods of preventing or treating diseases and conditions caused by and associated with infections with Human Papillomavirus (HPV), such as cervical cancer, anogenital cancer, head and neck cancer and skin cancers. Also provided herein are immunotherapies for the treatment of a neoplastic disease, such as a neoplastic disease caused by infection with oncogenic viruses.

Abstract: The invention relates to the development of chimeric OspA molecules for use in a new Lyme vaccine. More specifically, the chimeric OspA molecules comprise the proximal portion from one OspA serotype, together with the distal portion from another OspA serotype, while retaining antigenic properties of both of the parent polypeptides. The chimeric OspA molecules are delivered alone or in combination to provide protection against a variety of Borrelia genospecies. The invention also provides methods for administering the chimeric OspA molecules to a subject in the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease or borreliosis.
