  • Publication number: 20210115145
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods for treating a subject diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), involving targeted TGF-? inhibition with a bi-functional fusion protein, in combination with administration of systemic chemotherapeutic agents, wherein the combination of the bi-functional fusion protein of the present disclosure with systemic chemotherapeutic agents enhances anticancer efficacy over systemic chemotherapeutic agents alone.

  • Patent number: 9011867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising or essentially consisting of a sequence motif as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) or of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM). Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of an activated T-cell specifically recognizing the peptide of the present invention or an antigen presenting cell which specifically presents a peptide epitope of the present invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) or of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM). The present invention also relates to a method for the ex vivo manufacture of an activated T-cell of the present invention comprising the steps of: a) obtaining T-cells from a sample of a subject suffering from MGUS or SMM, b) contacting said T-cells with a peptide of the present invention, and c) collecting the activated T-cells.
    Type: Grant
