  • Patent number: 11814430
    Abstract: The invention provides means, methods, and compositions of matter useful for enhancing tumor response to checkpoint inhibitors. In one embodiment, the invention teaches utilization of extracorporeal apheresis, specifically removal of various tumor derived, or tumor microenvironment derived immunological “blocking factors”. In one embodiment the invention provides the removal of soluble TNF-alpha receptors (sTNF-Rs) as a means of augmenting efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In one specific embodiment removal of sTNF-Rs is utilized to enhance efficacy of inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, and/or the CD28/CTLA-4 pathway.

  • Publication number: 20150223732
    Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.
