Anti-GARP Monoclonal Antibodies for Cancer Therapy
TS-057778 —
A novel monoclonal antibody (PIIO-1) to be used in combination with immune-checkpoint blockers. PIIO-1 augments CD8+ T cells-induced anti-tumor immunity and overcomes ICB resistance by disrupting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), the center of a pathway significantly implicated in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. PIIO-1 inhibits TGFβ locally via a docking receptor, avoiding adverse and unforeseen side effects.
Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has emerged as a promising cancer immunotherapy, a majority of tumors fail to respond to ICB. A potential mechanism driving this failed response is the accumulation of TGF-β1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which drives immune dysfunction by indu…

Method to improve efficiency and specificity of human tumor targeting and elimination by using a combination of split & splice protein toxins and oncolytic viruses
TS-040838 — Novel strategy to improve efficiency and specificity of tumor treatment via combinative use of a split & splice protein toxin and oncolytic virus.
In combating malignancies as complex as cancer, researchers and clinicians have created a diverse set of strategies to reduce tumor burden. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have emerged as a promising means of treating this disease due to their potential to selectively target and effectively kill cancer ce…

Anti-NCL Immunoagent for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
TS-015251 — Nucleolin (NCL) is up-regulated in cancer cells, and modulates pro-tumorigenic pathways and chemoresistance. This anti-NCL agent binds and blocks NCL signaling, and may be optimized as cancer therapeutic and diagnostic tool.
Despite huge advancements in detection and treatment, cancer remains a top world health concern. One of the major limitations of current technology is adequately detecting tumor margins and micrometastases. Even with aggressive tumor resection and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy, tumor cells…

Novel Indole-3-Carbinol-Derived Antitumor Agents
TS-014815 — An anti-tumor agent developed from indol-3-carbinol, a naturally occurring phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US at approximately 600,000 deaths per year. In addition, the National Cancer Institute estimates that nearly 1.7 million cases of cancer are diagnosed each year. A report from U.S. News …
