  • Patent number: 10457724
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of preventing and/or treating S. aureus-associated bacteremia and sepsis, and methods for preventing and/or treating S. aureus-associated pneumonia in immunocompromised patients using anti-S. aureus alpha-toxin (anti-AT) antibodies. Also provided are methods of reducing S. aureus bacterial load in the bloodstream or heart of a mammalian subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an isolated anti-S. aureus alpha toxin (anti-AT) antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Methods of reducing S. aureus bacterial agglutination and/or thromboembolic lesion formation in a mammalian subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an isolated anti-S. aureus alpha toxin (anti-AT) antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, are also provided. Also provided are methods of preventing or reducing the severity of S. aureus associated pneumonia in an immunocompromised mammalian subject.

  • Patent number: 10457725
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating, reducing the severity, or inhibiting the growth of cancer (e.g., skin cancer). The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a programmed death 1 (PD-1) antagonist (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody). In certain embodiments, the skin cancer is cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma.

  • Patent number: 10457728
    Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions and methods for controlling pain. In particular the disclosure provides a method for controlling pain comprising co-administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist. The NGF antagonist and the TNF? antagonist can be separate molecules or part of a multifunctional polypeptide, e.g., a multispecific binding molecule that comprises an NGF antagonist domain and a TNF? antagonist domain. This disclosure also provides multifunctional polypeptides, e.g., multispecific binding molecules, comprising an NGF antagonist domain, and a TNF? antagonist domain. The method provides improved pain control. Administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist as provided herein can control pain in the subject more effectively than an equivalent amount of the NGF antagonist or the TNF? antagonist administered alone.
