254 results about "Tumor microenvironment" patented technology

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the environment around a tumor, including the surrounding blood vessels, immune cells, fibroblasts, signaling molecules and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The tumor and the surrounding microenvironment are closely related and interact constantly. Tumors can influence the microenvironment by releasing extracellular signals, promoting tumor angiogenesis and inducing peripheral immune tolerance, while the immune cells in the microenvironment can affect the growth and evolution of cancerous cells.

Compositions and Methods for Targeted Immunomodulatory Antibodies and Fusion Proteins

The present invention is based on the seminal discovery that targeted immunomodulatory antobodies and fusion proteins can counter act or reverse immune tolerance of cancer cells. Cancer cells are able to escape elimination by chemotherapeutic agents or tumor-targeted antobodies via specific immunosuppressive mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment and such ability of cancer cells is recognized as immune tolerance. Such immuno-suppressive mechanisms include immunosuppressive cytokines (for example, Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)) and regulatory T cells and / or immunosuppressive myeloid dendritic cells (DCs). By conteracting tumor-induced immune tolerance, the present invention provides effective compositions and methods for cancer treatment, optional in combination with another existing cancer treatment. The present invention provides strategies to counteract tumor-induced immune tolerance and enhance the antitumor efficacy of chemotherapy by activating and leveraging T cell-mediated adaptive antitumor immunity against resistant or disseminated cancer cells.

Specifically, GLA and R848, TLR4 and TLR7 / 8 agonists found to be safe in patients, were formulated with GVAX (TEGVAX—for TLR agonists enhanced GVAX), and this formulation was effective in producing anti-tumor responses in 3 different preclinical models, including palpable B16. These anti-tumor responses were correlated with increased CD4 and CD8 T-cells that can secrete IFNγ circulating in the tumor microenvironment as well as significantly higher level of p15E specific CTL mediated cell killing in mice treated with TEGVAX in comparison to controls. When combined with anti-PD-1 antibody, TEGVAX was able to induce regression of established B16 tumors.
