The invention relates to a method for controlling the activity of an immunologically functional molecules, such as an antibody, a protein, a peptide or the like, an agent of promoting the activity of an immunologically functional molecule, and an immunologically functional molecule having promoted activity.

Agonists to ICOS in combination with a blocking agent to a T cell inhibitory receptor (e.g., CTLA-4, PD-I, etc.) are demonstrated herein to be useful for the treatment of tumors.

The invention relates to the field of medicaments, in particular to an integrin blocking agent HM-3 which has the function of inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, integrin affinity and a bonding capacity and application thereof. The blocking agent is a polypeptide modified with polyethylene glycol, and the modified integrin blocking agent polypeptide can be applied to treatment of solid tumors. During application of the integrin blocking agent to preparation of a tumor treatment medicament, the sequence and structure of the integrin blocking agent is mPEG-SC20k-Ile-Val-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-Arg-Ala-Ala-Val-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp. The integrin blocking agent polypeptide designed in the invention is scientific, reasonable, practical and effective, can be used for preparing a treatment medicament for treating human solid tumors, and has remarkable social value and market value; and the treatment spectrum of the integrin blocking agent is expanded greatly, and novel thought and prospect are provided for future development of medicaments.

Indazole compounds that modulate and / or inhibit the activity of certain protein kinases are described. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are capable of mediating tyrosine kinase signal transduction and thereby modulate and / or inhibit unwanted cell proliferation. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and to methods of treating cancer and other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and / or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.

Methods of enhancing the efficacy of antibody-directed cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) for therapy directed to killing of tumor cells are disclosed. Cancer specific cell surface antigens are bound by monoclonal antibodies, thereby stimulating a cytotoxic T cell response characterized by an upregulation of cell surface expression of costimulatory molecules on the T cell. The ADCC response is augmented by the subsequent administration of a second antibody that is an agonist of the costimulatory molecule.
