PREPARATIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING A GD2 POSITIVE CANCER
The present invention relates to preparations and methods for treating a GD2 positive cancer by administering a preparation comprising a chimeric or humanized anti-GD2 antibody to a patient, wherein the patient is not concomitantly treated with lnterleukin-2 (IL-2wherein a GD2 positive cancer is treated in the patient. Furthermore, the invention relates to preparations and methods for the treatment of a GD2 positive cancer in a patient, wherein a preparation comprising an anti-GD2 antibody is administered to the patient as a continuous infusion, without concomitantly administering IL-2. The present invention further relates to preparations and methods for the treatment of a GD2 positive cancer in a patient, wherein the one or more anti-GD2 antibody treatment periods is/are preceded, accompanied, and/or followed by one or more treatment periods with a retinoid.
The present invention relates to modified angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) polypeptides and pharmaceutical and analytical uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to Zn2+ depleted-, Zn2+ free-, mixed metal- and metal ion substituted-ACE2 as well as methods for the manufacture of these variants and uses thereof, such as therapeutic and analytic uses of these ACE2 variants.
The present invention relates to a method for treating a GD2 positive cancer by administering preparation comprising an anti-GD2 antibody to a patient, wherein the preparation is administered in a dose sufficient to induce tumor cell lysis (cytolysis threshold dose), and wherein said cytolysis threshold dose is administered until the predetermined overall patient dose has been administered.
The present invention relates to a method for treating a GD2 positive cancer by administering a preparation comprising an anti- GD2 antibody to a patient as a continuous intravenous infusion over 24 hours per day.
The invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising recombinant human superoxide dismutase (rhSOD) for preventing or treating one or more adverse reactions caused by treatment with an EGFR inhibitor in a subject.
ACE2 activating compounds for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, lung disease and hypertension are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of diagnosing cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, lung disease and hypertension by measuring ACE2 expression or nucleotide polymorphism analysis.
The invention relates to a method for the immune activation of NK cells by the reduction or inhibition of the Cbl-b function in said cells. This stimulates the congenital immune system and thus permits the therapy of appropriate diseases.
The present invention relates to methods for determining intracellular Cbl-b protein in cells of a sample, comprising introducing into a cell an antibody that binds Cbl-b intracellularly, allowing the antibody and potentially present Cbl-b proteins to contact in the cell, detecting binding events between the antibody and Cbl-b, quantifying the detected binding events, whereby the content of Cbl-b protein is determined.
The invention relates to an in vitro or ex vivo method for increasing the immunoreactivity of cells of the immune system, which were contacted with an antigen, said method comprising the reduction or inhibition of the Cbl-b function of said cells, thereby increasing the immunoreactivity of the cells towards the antigen.
The present invention relates to recombinant ACE2 polypeptide, where the ACE2 polypeptide is present as a dimer. The dimer is formed specifically from glycosylated monomers and is used for producing pharmaceutical products with an extended half-life.
