Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods of treating a cancer and/or killing tumor cells in a subject, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CD38 antibody and a T cell redirecting therapeutic to the subject to treat the cancer. The disclosure provides a method of enhancing efficacy of a T cell redirecting therapeutic in a subject having a cancer, comprising administering to the subject an anti-CD38 antibody. The disclosure also provides a method of treating a multiple myeloma in a subject, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a BCMAxCDS bispecific antibody and an anti-CD38 antibody to the subject to treat the multiple myeloma. The disclosure also provides a pharmaceutical combination comprising a GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody. The disclosure also provides a kit comprising a pharmaceutical composition comprising a BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody and an anti-CD38 antibody.
Abstract:
Surgical instrument (1) for use on a patient's bone, com-prising a support rod or bar (2), and a breaking tool (3) provided at an extremity (4) of the support rod or bar (2), which breaking tool (3) comprises a nose (5} and a knife or chisel (6), wherein between the nose (5) and the knife or chisel (6) a room (7) is provided which is arranged to receive material that is to be removed from the bone, wherein the knife or chisel (6) has at least two surfaces (8) facing the nose (5), which surfaces (8) merge into a joint crossing line (9) substantially dividing the knife or chisel (6) into two parts on opposite sides of the crossing line (9), so as to provide a splitting operability to the knife or chisel (6).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a computer-implemented method for analysing a urine sample from a subject. The method comprises providing the value of one or more cell-free DNA fragment size metrics for said sample, and determining whether the sample has a high or low likelihood of being from a brain cancer patient by providing said values of said cell-free DNA fragment size metrics as input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to classify sample data into one of at least two classes, the at least two classes comprising a first class having a high likelihood of being from a brain cancer patient and a second class having a low likelihood of being from a brain cancer patient. Methods for diagnosing or screening for brain cancer, detecting recurrence or residual disease, providing a prognosis or selecting a treatment for brain cancer are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for typing an individual suffering from a colorectal lesion, or suspected of suffering therefrom, based on a set of biomarkers. The invention further relates to methods of assigning treatment to an individual having a high risk colorectal adenoma, and to a kit comprising reagents for directly or indirectly determining a level of expression of the biomarkers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of cancer prevention and medical diagnostics; and is concerned with a molecular diagnostic assay for cancers, especially human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced invasive cancers and high- grade precursor lesions thereof, such as invasive cervical cancer and premalignant cervical lesions. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of HPV-induced cancer specific miRNA reference genes miR-423, miR-30b, RNU24 and RNU43 to use microRNA (miR)-9, -15b,-20a,- 28, -31, -93, -100,- 125b, -149, -203, -222, -375 and let-7b-5p gene products as markers for hrHPV-induced invasive cancers, and their premalignant lesions with invasive potential.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the treatment of diastolic dysfunction in a subject, and relates in particular to compositions for use and methods in treating diastolic dysfunction. In one aspect the invention provides a composition for use comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a substance which increases the level and/or activity of a crystalline protein in cardiomyocytes of the subject. In particular the composition for use according to the invention comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the alpha B crystalline protein. It was found that the composition for use is capable of treating diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart disease in subjects with failing hearts that have a higher cardiomyocyte stiffness than controls. Particularly, addition of alpha B crystalline reduced the higher stiffness of failing cardiomyocytes to the level observed in control cardiomyocytes.
Abstract:
The present application relates to bispecific antibodies, either BCMA*CD3 or GRRC5D*CD3. The bispecific antibodies are to be used in the treatment of refractory cancers, especially after a previous treatment with an anti CD38-antibody.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for detecting the presence of, or risk at, bladder cancer using novel DNA methylation markers for bladder cancer and to kits of parts useful in such methods.
Abstract:
Un inhibidor de la función del gen relacionado con Abl (ARG) para usar en el tratamiento de un individuo que padece o está en riesgo de padecer edema inflamatorio, en donde dicho inhibidor se selecciona de: a) un inhibidor de la actividad tirosina quinasa de la proteína codificada por dicho gen relacionado con Abl (ARG), seleccionado entre nilotinib o una sal farmacéuticamente aceptable del mismo, dasatinib o una sal farmacéuticamente aceptable del mismo, e imatinib o una sal farmacéuticamente aceptable del mismo; b) un anticuerpo anti-ARG que se une a ARG e inhibe su función; y c) una molécula de ácido nucleico que provoca la degradación de ARG o inhibe la función, la transcripción o traducción de ARG.
